Plant Light Box Construction

These instructions describe how to construct a plant light box from two stackable plastic file crates that are cut, lined with aluminum foil and lit with a 40/42-watt CFL bulb. This 3-page document includes a complete materials list and 12-step assembly instructions with photographs that illustrate each step. This light box works well for growing Fast Plants.

Note: We now recommend using LED bulbs in place of the CFL bulb. For example, the GE Full Spectrum grow light bulb that is sold for "Seeds and Greens" is a good replacement for the CFL bulb.
