Default Germination Chamber

I was going out the other day to purchase some more heat mats for my pepper plants. I decided to try this instead. I got some 1/4 foil face insulation board and made a box. In the top I used Velcro to mount a small florescent light. It worked so well I have constructed another box but used two compact florescent bulbs instead. Both boxes when closed are keeping temps at around 85 degrees. If temperatures start to get a little high you can just crack the lid to the box a little. With the compact florescent bulbs you can just cut one light off if you have to much heat or just use a smaller wattage bulb.
