Good luck with that "finding room" thing. I've found the only way to do that is keep adding greenhouses.

Very nice growing area Naoki...
Interesting set-up, with the ducting from the lights!

When the temperature hits 76F ( I can control the temperature), the fan kicks in and exhausts the heat from the light to outside.

My growing areas are the opposite of Berrak's!
Is this one big Vanda with lots of keiki? Can you tell me what it is?
I have to check but I believe it was one big plant and the keikis were added into the same pot. It came from Dave Horvack at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and was grown big by Eric Muelbauer. I don't remember the cross off-hand.

Hera, you are very welcome. It works. I have a fan running 24/7, which is on the other side of the wall. Good luck.

Forrest and Naoki-very nice!
Got fans. They blow hard! At least 3x more than the $32 setup.
Found ultra cheap timer- this is on sale for $4.00.
15 minute increments. Cheesy, but for $4.00!

I got mine off eBay a little fancier. Unfortunately the main component for the timer, my 10 jet ultrasonic fogger, is on the fritz and keeps blowing fuses. I hope I can fix it begore I have to eBay another one for $170!
I looked online for these misters, and if you're running anything else on the same circuit you might just be overloading it. Some of the ones I saw were rated at 36 to 40 volts (they didn't list amps). Does it trip right away or after a little while? Also of course if it had been working fine for a while and just started doing this, then other problems
Yeah, it had been working fine for quite a while and I was happy because w/ setting it to operate for 15 minutes every 3 hours I expected to get years of life out of it before having to replace or even clean the discs! Now, whenever I turn it on it fries the fuse!
