Summary
This is an indoor planting project using LEDs, and some of the parts are derived from the Desktop Planting project. ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1453839 ) Compared to Desktop Planting project, planting on racks can save a lot of space in an apartment, and are allowed to grow more and various plants indoor.
