 Terrarium outdoors

I have a standard seedling terrarium that I've been throwing a layer of damp perlite in and setting my rockwool cubes with seeds/cuttings ontop of that. Since my grow has expanded a bit I no longer have room under my T5 tubes and was curious if I could just stick the entire thing outside.
Before I was told to keep the vents shut, make sure it's extremely high humidity and take the lid off once a day to give it some fresh air. Could I just set the thing with my cubes outside and let 'er rip?

i would think so.
just remember it will get much hotter in the sun, so you might want to keep the vents partially open. keep a close eye on it for the first couple days to make sure everything is going well.

Thanks alot Yrat - I figure I'll give this a go on my next day off and report back here and see how it goes. I ended up fucking around a bit with the setup and making some room under the T5s, but it really would make life easier to tuck this sucker away outside.

Damn. Been awhile since I've been around.
Umm.... this definitely did not work for me, unfortunately. ;p
I rolled home the next day, collapsed in front of the computer... looked over at the weather station...
HOLY FUCK 109 DEGREES! Ran outside and they're all wilted and dead. Stuck 'em in some cups with soil anyways just to see... and a few days later realized that was stupid and tossed it all out. Suckers ate it.
