I am not sure I bought as a gift. I would think it works like a mini green house.

If it's a question of size, I recommend making a paper or cardboard model using the dimensions from the picture. It's smaller than it looks. Many of my miniature ferns I planted a few months ago are already pressed against the roof. I suggest planting ferns, they grow great in this terrarium!

Well this is very simple but it is also very small it is for a desktop garden. You could use it with a small single LED or CFL grow light configuration.. (Grow light would have to out side the unit).

Yes, one of the better options for doing so. For vegetative growth I recommend you have full spectrum or "blue" spectrum bulbs. 5400 Kelvin? That's from memory. If that's off the answers are a Google search away

It is quite cold. Works best if your camera has manual white balance or color/tint settings. You could also use acetates over the lights to warm them up.

That will be a good idea or if the place you want to place it has a lot of sun light, is better to use this ones: Frostfire 16 Bright LED Wireless Solar Powered Motion Sensor Light (Weatherproof, no batteries required) Just install it and forget it. They are cheaper on ebay. But be sure that says (motion sensor) because there are a cheaper one that are (sound sensor).

Yes and no sweetie. You need a wide spectrum fluorescent set up along with some metal halides until the flowering begins. Then you need to add a regular incandescent light bulb, about 100w for every 6 sq. ft. of floor growing space. Lucky you got a hold of me. I'm Jay Essex. You can see me at JayEssex.com. I'm a bit different than other people but I also don't wear overalls for no reason. I used to take a lot of trips to Jamaica and lived in California. Nuff said. You also need to watch your fertilizer when germinating and later towards the flowering. Take care and have fun.

Dunno. If you need advice on setting up, I can gelp you with that. I take it down every winter.

This is a very easy seed to grow. They require heat and light. If your starting them indoors go to your local plant nursery and ask them what equipment you will need. If you dont have a plant nursery go on youtube. If your starting them out doors I recommend growing them in pots.

A simple stacked, double single pole will work but there are specialty switches with on/off for the light and on/timer for the heat. Consult the lighting specialists at Lowes' or Home Depo for in store assistance

you can put it anywhere outside as long as it gets sunlight. a planter will be lovely. try the lights on the multicolor pattern not the white it will be a fabulous light show. I have had mine for 3 years and even in the snow the light comes thru-enjoy-charlene

I keep mine potted and bring it indoor for the winter. Close to a window or with artificial light. Gets a little sad, but nothing to worry about.

I live in Texas so heating is not an issue. On cool nights here I use a lightbulb and this is enough to keep it warm. You should be able to figure something out. I Hang my bulb from a heat lamp by a metal clip from the center frame. I would not say this greenhouse is the most airtight thing out there.

with how limited the space is, maybe. As long as you took good care for heat. I think you could. But if heat is a problem then no. With my inline fan and led hanging. And one medium plant I'm at a solid 76 Degrees. It's got the vent holes for easy ventilation so no reason why you couldn't try

It depends on amount of light you can give it. The included LED light will not be enough light for growing plants.

You would have to be sure the bulb does not touch the vinyl sides of the greenhouse, and that none of your electrical connections can get wet. Your electrical cord should be plugged into a ground fault circuit in case water contacts the connections. Other than that, your grow light should be fine. I used a heat lamp in mine last winter when the outside temperature fell below 28ºF, using the safety precautions I mentioned, and had no problems.

In NY I was very successful planting indoors , then out after danger of frost. Only one lived over the winter however.BR

In an enclosed space yes, depends on what you're growing also. Different plants would like different lighting I found this a great lighting system for vegtative growth it was less then par for flower development by all means you cannot go wrong on the price and quality hydrofarm is on par with many 200w systems of other names

There are no directions, so I think they can just be planted. I started them indoors because I was in too big of a hurry for winter to end!
