Step 1 Materials / Tools

This list can vary depending on what you have and how much you want to spend on this project.

Materials
Blue LED light strip (i got mine from harbor freight for cheap)
A wall charger (the same voltage as your Blue LED strip, mine was 12 volts)
Some type of clear box ( I made mine from plexi glass )
A light timer ( this is optional but it makes everything much easier, I got mine from Ace)
A fan ( also optional but helps you regulate the temperature inside the greenhouse)
electric tape
something to plant
potting soil (any will work)
thermometer

Tools
Drill
Hot glue gun
soldering iron (optional)

Blue is the spectrum you want during the growth phase, but if you are growing things that bloom and produce fruit you want to switch to red lights (in the 620-ish nanometer spectrum) for that phase of the growing. It depends on what you are growing when that switch happens. But a very cool little garden! Nicely done.

Would black lights work as well or not at all.

Stupid question, but, does it work?

I see freshly-germinated seedlings, but they would look like that on a windowsill or in a cupboard.

well i started with just the seeds compared to my other ghetto greenhouse (made out of 2 liter soda bottles) they are growing much faster
