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? |

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

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.
