pics Pics of your apartment balcony/indoor setup?

I'm looking for ideas on how to setup my balcony for this year's grow. I know there's some guys on here that grow on balconies. Looking forward to seeing your setup.

I think StupidJerk starts on his balcony, could be wrong. Check out his glog if you haven't already.

Good luck with it. Very lucky to have a bit of outdoor space, very jealous as I'm growing 100% inside this year. Love to see your pics when you get your set up sorted. Is the bonchi going out there?

Thanks PJ, I think I have looked at his glog. It's just hard when I try to look at all in my cell phone.

The bonchi? dang idk. I built a LED panel and it works like a wonder for me so I might think of leaving it under LEDs.

What would you suggest? I bet outside would be better, brighter sunlight, more warm, and more CO2 ( I always like to give em CO2 love Lmao)

I think I would move it outside now and again to get some fresh air but not leave it out all day. And I would definitely bring it in over night under the LED's because it can't do any harm and LED'S are cool at night. lol Get a lava lamp and chuck on the Barry white.
 
Bit early for me to be moving them onto the balcony, but when I do I'll get a pic.

For the moment, indoors I'd like this.

This is my setup in my apartment window, which is about 9 feet wide. I realize the plants are touching the lights, so I'll be switching to an adjustable Metro rack as soon as it arrives to give them about twice the height to grow. These are just cheap shelves I found at Home Depot. I believe they were $35 each.

Very nice Dustin, I'd like to see pics when you get your new shelves.

Helltaco, that's a very nice light. Isn't it a slimstar T5? That grow area seems nice, but I don't have a garage or similar space. I currently have most of my seedlings where the dinning table is inside my apartment, and I have some outside.

How wide is that railing? You might be able to find a deck rail planter wide enough to fit along it on Amazon or something. Or just get a wire rack of some type to lift the plants above the balcony. You can store your soil and other materials on the shelves that are below.
 
Check it out. Got everything except updated pics of the plants.
