Incorrectly made tubs about ready to fruit. Gotta crazy idea for a FC to put them in...

So I made some tubs a while back and neglected to put the holes in the sides. Now I've got a couple tubs about ready to fruit that are too big to put in my current FC, so I'm thinking of bringing in an old wire dog kennel from the back yard and wrapping it with plastic and then equipping it with a warm mist humidifier and a fan on timers. I guess it'll prolly be impossible to get a lot of feed back/opinions on this plan until I get it built and throw up some pics, but I figured I'd get this thread in place for the time being and see if anyone's tried something like this before.
Will post back with pics of the tubs and potential FC soon!

For marthas use cool mist, why not just make more tubs ? Cheaper than rigging a Martha .
Ps marthas aren't any fun to clean out. I've done 2 and Sprint back to tubs asap.

I think I would just fan my ass off and correct the mistake next time. Or you could just cut holes with a razor knife. They don't have to be perfect circles.

So that's what a martha is? Wow lol...
Anyway, yea i was thinking of just cutting the holes with a knife but I'm lacking the funds for extra lights at the moment.
I figured I could just move everything into the kennel and make more use of my current lights.
Well I'll be thinking a bit more on this. Off to work.

Well I a brand new grow light turned out to be cheaper than I though. Got a dual bulb 48 incher for just under 20 bucks. I'll keep the kennels in mind for future endeavors, but it just seemed more practical for the time being to just get a big light for the big FC and use the two lights I had on the two tubs.
Check it out.
old FC with two lights, before I made the tubs and got the new light.

The new setup.

With the big light on.

And my newly discovered first pin from a tub!

Maybe sometime soon I'll try out the kennel if I need to.

I ran into a problem kinda like this but I used a small tomato paste can and heated it up red hot on the stove and then lightly pressed it through the sides, like slicing butter it was so easy!
