    Good info to know.....I will wrap the cups in some dark paper for now......and next time they'll be in something that light can't get through. As far as watering......I'll throttle back and see what happens.

    Custom wood cabinet

    That's a great point on mildew.....I just never thought about it that way. I think if I do paint it a good coat of primer would be in order first to cut down on multiple coats of paint being soaked up by the wood. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

    Hello and thank you for the advice on the filter. I'm not exactly sure what type of film to cover the inside with, and I do not want to paint it....I've been looking at different types of Mylar. Do you have a recommendation??
