Budget Seedling Chamber

[organichris]

I built one of these a few years ago and it worked well, so I went back to it this year due to the fact that I am running out of space. Basically it is a foil-lined storage container with two 100 watt compact fluorescent lights inside. The first one I built was with a tube, but I think the CFL's actually work better for this project.

The idea of the foil is to both contain and reflect the light so that you get the full advantage of it.

The drawbacks are no air circulation and high, uncontrollable humidity. But hey, if you're on a budget and/or are running out of space like me, you can put this in a corner somewhere and your plants will grow well. You will need to take them out to let the container dry out and give the plants some fresh air.
