Hey all!
So I had this cabinet just taking up space and was looking for a way to repurpose it. So I thought "What the hell, fill it with chilis!"
I got some reflective bubble wrap insulation and a mesh metal shelf, stapled the insulation in and jammed in the shelf, attach a lid with hinges and there you have it, instant grow box!
Mild mannered, yet oddly lit kitchen cabinet...
Boom! A powerstrip and 4 CFLs later = grow box. 2 of the CFL's are 800 lumen 6500k daylight bulbs and the other two are 1450 lumens (I think).
Now I have a place to move my repotted plants to.
I tried to find the "Panda cloth" or whatever it's referred to (I know that isn't it's real name), but didn't see it at Lowe's. Found the roll of bubble stuff instead and it works pretty good.
Whatcha think?
