It varies... I rotate my plants from around the house and our outside balcony inside the box and vice versa. At the time of the picture I had a strawberry plant that I started from seed, a snake plant cutting, german chamomile from seed, catnip from seed, some kind of succulent and some osteospermum cuttings.
Right now I have cilantro, basil, kalanchoe cutting, and dracaena cutting in there alongside my querkle.

Another update.
About three weeks away from harvesting her and there definitely will be little changes made in the way I train the next one and just little tweaks with the box to make things more accommodating to maximize yield. Other than that I'm loving the new setup, the plants seem to love it also, and I can't wait to see what I pull from her.
I also have been messing around with water cloning my plants and have succeeded in seeing roots with the past 4 plants I've done it with. My setup? A size 11 shoe box with a battery powered LED light. Yep, that's it! I grabbed an old black poweraid container drilled 3 holes on the top cover, filled it with water and stuck my cuttings through the hole and stuck them in the box for 3 weeks.
The cuttings in the picture are querkle and my catnip. I made another cloning container and plan to run 6 clones when I pop a Barneys Farm LSD seed.
But enough rambling and onto the pics!!

Been a while... just a quick upload from a crappy phone pic. I've been busy building/messing around with an aquaponics setup and I think I just about got it, so loads of pictures of the build coming soon!

Good eye!
Running two 2ft Sunblaster T5HO (3000k) and one Taotronic 24w LED Full Spectrum Grow Lights (these things are BAD AS FUCK). There double the wattage of the previous 12w model, they've added red LEDs for flowering and fruiting at two wavelength levels (630 and 660nm), and have the blue LEDs at 460nm; they also fit the standard E27 light sockets. If you order through Taotronic (link provided) you get a 1yr warranty on the light (an additional 6mos with registration). It was a deal too good for me to pass up especially on a budget. I bought one late last year and I've seen a HUGE difference in how my plants are growing from the T5's I got running. That pic was taken last October, and I did a huge revamp before Thanksgiving.
I revamped it by pulling off the mylar and lining it with panda film and ran three 2ft T5HO lights (2 3000k and 1 6400k). When December rolled around, I saw the Taotronic LED light and I had to order it, so I ordered one grow light on sale for $32 (marked down from $67; I think?). When I got the Taotronic I pulled out one of the T5's and replaced it with the LED. When I was running the 3 T5's temps were in the range of 78-82, after replacing one of the T5's with the LED I'm in the range of 72-74. I'm gonna place an order this weekend for another 2 sets and run 3 LED's and 1 T5 (6400k) in a 4ft dresser I'm currently building.
Pics will come soon, my primary focus's right now are getting my greenhouse up and running so I can participate in this years farmers market and getting my website up and running.

Subb'd here. You're plants were so frosty, is that genetics? good farming? both?

Those e26 and e27 base Par38 LED bulbs are great! i think i will replace my CFL next grow with a few of those types of bulbs. I am using a 12w one right now and it's definitely a lot cooler running than the CFLs. It's barely gives off heat. I think an array of e26 LED bulbs would be cool. Maybe have 9 bulbs inside a cab?

Definitely doable. I probably won't run that many just because I'd want to make my own housing for them and currently I'm way too busy with other side projects. If you plan on doing this I would definitely love to sub that thread.

Hey Beeswing! That's really cool! Are those the GE bright stick LED bulbs you cut the diffuser off?
Did you wire your lights in parallel? or serial? and what driver are you using? Do you happen to have a diagram on how it's wired up?
thanks for any guidance you can provide bro!
