*well not completely custom. You are going to customize something, I don't doubt, but I can buy that exact set up (so far) anywhere.
 
Very Nice Chris!

I have a tiny un-identified Bulbo that I got via Goods, but I think he got it from you.

The buds haven't opened yet , but are bright orange. This thing is tiny. When the spikes first come up its just like the spore stems on a moss. Do you remember this plant?
 
I will be following this closely as I recently purchased one of these as an upgrade for my masdies!

Cool. I got the exact same thing. I'm moving it outdoors in the summer. I'm not worried about low humidity, but too much humidity and too little air circulation. I might have to fit a few PC fans in the winter to keep the air moving. Maybe some LED lights...

I like that the wracks can be removed so I don't have to worry about any blooms bumping their heads.

Be careful with that window. Temps rise very fast in there. Ambient in my home is 70 oF but it takes only 2 hours of sunlight to push it past 80 onto 90 oF.
 
I used one of these several years ago for some of my seedlings. It is really nice. I would leave the top part of the 'opening' open and not fill in the shelves and air flow wasn't bad - I would put a fan at the bottom or in front of very bottom if I did it over again. They are nice. And they do keep the humidity pretty high.

My plants are too big now for it, I still have it. Hhhhhmmmm, reminds me. Maybe I should bring it out of storage and clean it up. Maybe the auction?
 
Plants need air flow!! Any pathogen incubated in there would kill any plant in a day
 
Thank you guys for the comments. A couple things. I know how to grow plants in enclosures.

I have been working with indoor orchidariums for the last 10 years. I was the verified FIRST person to use high power LEDs to grow and bloom orchid species. Here are some snaps that has been up in some iteration since 2009:

Interesting Rick, it sounds like a couple I had that I lost in the great 2013 plantpocalypse. Please post pics when it opens!

Admit it! It is the snake poop that keeps the plants alive. :poke:
 
Indoor greenhouse chiller. One horsepower. Down to 21 F at the probe port. Need a thermostat with 250 V 30 Amp relay... And some vibration eliminating pads for the floor...
