Chuck, I also live in a apartment. I also have three cats, one of which likes to try to eat my orchids. I needed to set up my grow area in the basement which is off limits to the cats. I have adjustable wire shelving mounted to the back wall. T-5 high output low wattage lighting. Three vapororizers for added humidity. Two clear shower curtains to hold in the added humidity. Four fans for air circulation, all lights and fans on one timer and each vaporizer has its own timer. Since I did the first set up in Dec. 2012, I have had to make adjustments two times. This week end and I'll be adding more lights and one more shelf and at least one more fan. Once I get done with the lastest updates. I'll post a few photos. I would also agree about very young plants and seedlings, some will take a long time to mature enough to bloom. I'm into Cattleyas. I had to take 10 months off from growing. I lived in FL. and needed to move back to the Mid-West. I also am still learning about growing these amazing plants. Have Fun, Rich
