Wine rack Phyto reactor

Hi all,

I have been culturing phyto, and I have been scratching my head to come up with a good rack to hold the 2L bottles and the lights in place. Then the other night I happened across a wine rack being thrown away, and I instantly seized it as the perfect phyto rack.

I found that leaning the bottles from the bottom rack on one side to the top rack of the other side lead to a perfect fit and it even sets up a gentle circulation almost like a Kreisel tank.

I am not sure where the rack and caddy is from originally, and if you recognize it feel free to share.

I searched RC but didn't find a similar setup so I hope this inspires more wine rack phyto growing. Enjoy RC!!

Looks like a great idea! I'll have to do a search tomorrow for a similar rack.
