Thanks for the feedback! It adds to the validity of what I suggested people to use.

I an trying hard to clear out and clean up all my "plant places" in the house.
Clean up racks and shelving. Most of the year--all these places get cluttered up
with all kinds of other junk, they are catch-alls.
I believe I am actually a tiny bit ahead of schedule. But--the weather can do a
nasty turn one night and then it is ALL PANIC!

Been stressing out a bit where to put all my 55 AV's. They haven't bloomed
for close to 3 years. About half of them are all "babies'--just getting going.
I am sure they don't get enough light and it is too cold when they all sit on the long
shelf under my LR picture window. They are about 3" from the glass. Brrrrrr...

So--re-potted them all--lovingly and carefully--and devised a new location for them.
So far--they have been under my light set-up. Great! But now I am bringing in cuttings
and they need the light more. Then the seed-starting will start, etc...

SO--I brought up one of my card-tables and put it in the corner of my DR,
I bought a hanging light and fixed it so it hangs above the table. I have a 100W CFL
bulb in there. I will see how this works....It is hard to measure how much light they get...
Hope it is enough.
The saga continues--as more things come in. G.
