I have the same setup, just on a taller rack. Is the plant on the bottom left a high light / full sun plant? It looks pretty close to the the lights, so I’d monitor for signs of light stress or burning. Same with the anthurium on the top right. I had to add a shade cloth to my top row because the double T8s were cooking the leaves.

Good point. I looked up all these in the Planta app and a few articles, most are ok with high light but that’s my #1 thing I’m keeping an eye on over the next few days. I wish this one wasn’t so big haha I didn’t even install one of the shelves

Same. I took out all the middle shelves to maximize vertical space.

My only thought:  
Not enough plants! 😅

Humidifier

There is a clear cover that I’m putting over this…raises humidity to almost 80%!

Maybe an idea concerning that bottom left plant is that when it gets any closer to the light, take it out of the set up and maybe place it on that shelf right next to it. It seems there is an enough light filtering out from above that the plant would have adequate light as well as space to grow. As others have stated, i would be worried about leaves bleaching or burning with it any closer to the light
