I just have mine sitting on top of my enclosures. Does put stress on the screen though, so if you are able to hang them, do so. Only tip I have is make sure all your sun loving plants are getting some of the light.Hi All! I am going to be ordering the sansai grow light today. I am using it for three umbrellas and my pothos plants are dying! Any tips would be appreciated.

+1. I have mine supported by 2 wooden slats that span the width of the enclosure top from frame to frame. This distributes the weight to the frame instead of on the mesh, and provides ~¾" between the mesh and the LEDs.I just have mine sitting on top of my enclosures.

Maybe I missed something...
Why is the blind down all the way; is it a Southern-facing window or something?

I just use whatever organic potting soil I can find at Lowe’s or Home Depot. All have dreaded perlite in them, which is just another reason to cover with rocks.

Going to second the dowel idea lowes and h.d. have square dowels of assorted sizes and make great light lifts and don't put stress on the screen definitely recommend one for the sansi light it gets got and the added inch will help it cool down. Your plants will love you for ordering the 70w square it's amazing
Link for dowel they are cheap a.f and come in all sizes. https://www.homedepot.com/b/Buildin...s/Square/N-5yc1vZaqifZ1z0vaaf?storeSelection=

Carly likes to go inside and sleep in the plants so that might be hard.
I might see how they do with the grow light since they have never had one before replacing the soil.

1x2 is even less—buck-three-eighty for an eight footer. One flat and one upright to attach the mount to. I used a piece of scrap molding for the latter, because it had been sitting in my scrap box for 20+years, and I would have had to run out for another 1x2 but the idea is the same.
