Ok so this is what you do after the growing season is over. You start by doing things you need to get done for the soil and when that's done, put your woodworking skills to some good use. This germination chamber measures 48" wide 24" Deep and 24" Tall. There are three 75 watt light bulbs daisy chained together with an 8ft lamp replacement cord. The plug is connected to a lamp dimmer, to control the brightness of the bulbs (or temperature in this case). When the bulbs were turned all the way up, the temperature reached 80 degrees. A couple of old electric blankets over the door raised it to 85 degrees with the dimmer turned down just a tad.
