   If you are not to worried about looks, try this. If you have a tall, free standing shelving/storage unit type thing, get all your plants in the pots you wish to have them in and get a large clear plastic bag- cover the shelve and it’s an instant greenhouse. Even taking a small plastic bag and covering just a pot will create a greenhouse. I’ve looked online and greenhouses are mighty expensive. The link below has some other ideas for greenhouses- maybe it’ll spark more for you.

   Also, I’ve seen greenhouses where people build a small box with 2×4’s, then if you have a old window laying around the house (not many people do hehe), you can use that as the lid. Happy gardening =0)

   I would go to a garden store, Home Depot, or Lowe’s type place and see if they have garden safe light bulbs. I imagine if you used a regular light bulb that you use in a family room, it could burn the seedlings or dry out the soil fast. Maybe a low wattage bulb is best. As for when to use it, that might depend on the plant you are growing. If it’s a full sun type plant, probably majority of the day; semi to partial sun light maybe couple hours in the morning and afternoon. I’m sure light bulbs would help, but they may give off more heat than the sun, especially if the light bulb is placed close to the dirt.

   You could also look for Hydro Pontics - does a great job too. and the kits are not to unreasonable.
