A lil' Ingenuity

[CN]

So I was at the local PetSmart yesterday and seen these large Styrofoam boxes, and thought to my self those would be nice to have to ship large plants in during the winter. I asked the Manager there if I could have a few, He says to me sure take all that you want we get them in every Friday and we just throw them away .

Well I needed to make some more cutting's today, but had nothing to put them in (A Propagation tank). The 10 gallon tank I had some in was getting crowded so I thought to my self , how can I use one of the Styrofoam boxes. well here is what i came up with.

The Box


The Lid


I placed my cutting's into the box.


Here I cut a couple of lines into the lid so the lights would fit snug.


Lights on.


Here the lid is being placed on to the box with the lights on.


Finished and closed up.




I hope you like,and thanks for looking

Lil' update ,
been a few days up and running . lights been on for over 14hrs a day the temps never go above 80º, right where I want it. the 24w lights don't get hot enough to melt the Styrofoam so we are good there .this lil' box gets great air movement which I am very very impressed with . already working on another one .
because my Neps are growing like weeds, need to cut them back before winter sets in. I need them to have some good root hold. lil' before October for them to survive our winters in my GH.
