Cardboard bo + dixie cup + outdoors = FUN TIME!

I have this idea in my head. I wont be able to attempt the experiment anytime soon so I wanted to share the idea in hopes someone else could.

This is the idea. Cardboard box. With some saran wrap or other plastic that lets light in. Basically a cardboard box greenhouse. There are air holes on bottom left and top right of the box but its hard to see here. And some water bottles to retain heat but I dont think its working.



So far you guys have heard of this already. So here is where it gets interesting.....

I saw a thread where the members would grow a plant from seed direct to 12/12 in a dixie plastic cup. Start to finish in that cup. Here are pictures from a user Ive been chatting with called Socalrob.


And some other pics that caught my eye from the thread :http://rollitup.org/t/6th-official-party-cup-grow-competition.859135/


Now the idea:
Now the idea I have is to make a cardboard box greenhouse like the one in my pic, maybe larger than the one in my pic, and fill it with X amount of cups with plants growing from seed or clone. The cup should dictate the size of the plant (hopefully) since the roots cant get huge. A cardboard box packed with maybe 20 plants growing in dixie cups is so stealth and easy to move. Also, some of the guys in that thread are pulling 5gram-28grams per plant. You could literally calculate yield per box. Stick the box OUTSIDE so that it uses SUNSHINE. No electricity. Tiny plants, high density, packed in a box that is so stealth. Easy to move. Low maintenance.

Anyone want to try?
