Hey guys,

After a little time off im back for a second grow which im quite excited about.

Here is a quick rundown on the setup.

I have a small 60L rubbish bin that I have painted white and have also assembled hook from which I will hang a 150w 6400k (9000lumens) cfl from. During the flowering I will add another 150w 2400k light and a 2 extra 42w 2400k cfls.

I will be growing 2 passion #1 feminized in soil. Watering once or twice a week when needed with water at a pH of 6.5 left out for a week to get rid of the chlorine. I wont be able to measure the ppm and am not sure if thats a bad thing or not.

There are a few things I am undecided on at the moment and would appreciate a bit of help on.

1. The temp is about 65F with the lights off and about 75F with the lights on - is this too cold ? And should I just run the lights 24/7 for the veg to keep the temp up during the colder months.

2. Im unsure if I should use scrog, lst or tipping to ensure the plants dont outgrow their box during the flowering. Im probably going to veg until they plants take up about half of the space i have to allow for the plants to double in size during flowering.

3. I am going to grow in soil but dont know what mixture (perlite, guano, organic mix ect) to use and also whether or not I should use some chems (canna ect) or just stick with organic and water. I want it to be as pain free as possible while still gaining a good strong yield. Also remember I live in australia and there isnt fox farms ect, we basically just have potting mix and organic soil although I can get things like dolomite lime and perlite ect.

The setup is going to be inside a bit of a damp dank area so Im going to add a computer power supply and 2 10cm fans (one for pushing in fresh air and one for removing old air. Im going to add these on either side of the bin about half way up the side, Im also hoping that this will act as the fan for the cabin.

Im not sure what to expect from this grow but im hoping I have enough light and airflow to get a decent yield from these 2 fine females :)

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you guys wish to throw forward

that looks cool...i mastered the stealth grow inside my computer desk (see my sig)

you got everything you need...have you already germinated you seeds?

get that going then when you put them in their first container put a piece of plastic wrap on the top of the cups to create a greenhouse effect and keeps the newly sprouted plants nice and humid..

just use LST and Topping/Fimming to keep your plants from outgrowing you area..

also keep the CFLs like 2-3inchs (i dont know what that converts to in metric) but keep CFLs real close because if you dont, the plants will stretch out alot. Thats the way ive alwasy kept mine compact....first week or 2 of growth i use CFLs makes them stay real short and bushy and compact...

goodluck!, dont forget to clone the female so you dont have to wait for seeds to sprout


look on youtube.com for scrog computer grow...
