A lil' Ingenuity

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

I would think this would heat up too much and cook the plants. of course if during a freeze outside this may be a good idea.

So far it has not . I also am planning on placing a fan in a side wall to allow this to not happen . I thought about this very same thing after i closed the lid so i made sure that it is open in the corners to let the excess heat out.

I was thinking a little air flow would be needed. Looks like you already thought of that. So when do you start production/marketing of your new propagation box?
