VIDEO: DIY Indoor Plant Grow Chamber or Grow Box (2020)


Make Your Own Grow Box Or Grow Chamber For Cheap! In this video, I show you how I build my own grow cabinet for starting seedlings or growing tropical plants or starting off your clones and other delicate plants that need a head start! These boxes can be as elaborate or as simple as you want. The key is to get the heating and lighting requirements down for the plants that you wish to grow. Build as big as you can, because trust me, you’ll fill up the space quickly. Especially after you see how the plants respond and grow in optimal heat and light!

  1. This is about the simplest grow box design I've seen so far. I am still not sure where I can fit a grow box let alone mount grow lights. I'll have to see what space I have to work with when the landlord gets finished with the remodel. Thanks for sharing this video.

  2. I started rooting herbs over the winter and bought those bar/clip lights to supplement their light needs (north facing patio window) and getting decent results. They are keeping my pepper plants alive (indoors) … and my tomato seedlings are doing shockingly well for this kick start method. I am going to set up some more clip/bar lights "outside" in my corner greenhouse to keep my parsley and mint alive. Thank you for your past videos on how to root cuttings. I am pleasantly surprised by my success… thanks to your videos.

  3. We live in a more moderate climate–Central Coast California, USA–and have never experienced using artificial light for gardening. Even my African Violets, and Orchids (Here orchids can be planted outside), I just have them near a southwest-facing window and keep the blinds mostly closed for the indirect sunlight. To get the orchids to bloom I put them in a north-facing window for a few months during the winter. But I'm handicapped now and can't venture out as much as I would like, so I need to start some things inside so I can watch over them more. So I have a question regarding this set up for sprouting/growing. Do you leave the light on day and night or give the seeds/plants a break to mimic the darkness at night and then turn on the light early in the morning?

  4. Thanks for the clear explanation! Would you mind sharing what details on light bulbs you used towards the end are? Where can a fellow Canadian buy them?

  5. Instead of the plastic as a window, I’d put another Mylar underneath the plastic or even glued to it, as the window to reflect more of that light

    Great video. Thanks for sharing.

  6. You kept it nice and simple, thank you! I’m ready for making my grow chamber and I’m no carpenter! I appreciate how you even included the lighting error – that is so me! Pity my husband won’t let me have a nail gun…handy bit of kit! Cheers from the north of England xxx
