Decent buy?
 

So, I was puttering around on craigslist when I saw this post selling a "mini- greenhouse (aluminum frame) W halide growlight." Currently, my orchids are hanging out on a humidity tray near a window, but the winters get pretty cold and I figured maybe a cheap greenhouse wouldn't be too bad. I have mostly Phals and Oncs, and some Catasetinae on the way.

Thoughts?

Jade - Would you like me to move this thread to the Greenhouse Gardening Forum ? :hmm

I'd say go for it, if you're interested. Seems like a good package. Have you checked this guy out?

Dorothy - I wasn't quite sure where it went. I feel like all my threads should be posted in beginner discussion :blushing:

Ross - I have not checked out this guy yet, though I am about to give him a call!

Greenhouse people hang out there and you may get more responses to your inquiry .. that's why I ask ;)

Okay, that sounds like a good idea :)

and so it has been done .. ;)
We are now in the greenhouse gardening forum

Not to be MR Doom and Gloom, but what else do you know about this GH. A light doesn't make a GH as I'm sure you know...We'd like to hear more because this is exciting!

All that he has posted is all I know. I mean, I'm not looking for a hardcore GH...just some place to keep my plants warm when the temperature starts dropping and added humidity. If anything, it's like a small cabinet...but better? Here is the post if you want to read it

Ok, saw the pics. Is this something you want to use outside and if so are your winter temps warm enough to use it without a heater? I can understand from a humidity stance using it inside and gives a central location with lighting but it appears too small to use outside without heat if your evening temps drop below 50. If you're on a budget or have outside space issues, there are larger small GH that might fit the bill. For something inside, sure, go for it.
