1st time CFL

well im not sure if you already are.

but going back to your first post, i see you have two identical rubbermaids. have you thought about stacking them for more room? it would help out considerably with the 150w in there for more breathing room. u saw somewhere on one of these sights where someone did a DIY cooltube. now im still a noob so im not sure how much space the cool tubes take up but if i can find the link i will post it up for you, i think it too will help out greatly in your rubbermaid box if it is plausible.

well after a quick search i found this:

DIY Cool Tube *Step by Step* - Grasscity.com Forums

this is a very good detail/quality picture tutorial on the DIY cool tube.

hope this helps.

Man oh man it has been a few weeks since my last post. The rubbermaid box was just not working with this strain. So I found the older box i used to use in my storage. I had cut cut and paste to help the box fit in my closet but I made it work.
So in picture 1 is just the outside
picture 2 is the door open, when the plant grows i just move the light up
picture 3 is the plant
picture 4 is the plant with me using LST to make the leads move to open light

Yea not much else going on I did buy some dutch master reverse to make sure the Train Wreck does not go hermi

Sorry to piggy back on your response. But i can't figure out. Or forum will not let me post thread yet. Out of 3 bag seeds i got only one to germinate. So right off the bat i had a 50/50 chance of female plant. Well i started what i hoped would be a Betsy on 10-11-08 24/7 light 6500K. Then went to 3000K 12/12 light on 11-20-08 I wanted to hurry the flowering in case of male 1 week at after about a week starts looking male in 2nd week I could tell Betsy was, a Bob. Question: Is the male worth any thing except the pollen. Like butter, hash, Keefe, etc Plant is about 30" tall Not including the long pollen stalks 24" circumvent. Pretty skunky, for a male. I kept growing hoping it might be a hermafidite. But the small female looking bud. Here and, there. are probably just young male pods. Is it worth growing any longer. Will it get stronger in THC the older it gets. just now started new seeds. Told they are Grandaddy Purple. Any help greatly appreciated.

nice looking grow man:thumbsup: im def gonna be following this one...trainwreck is my favorite..heard its pretty hard to grow but goodluck!

"The male cannabis plant is essentially only useful for breeding. The male plant makes very poor marijuana, being mostly leaves without the dense resinous floral clusters of the female the yield is miserable. More importantly, the male of the species has virtually no potency in comparison to that of female cannabis." -Advanced - Breeding Strategies Cannabis.com

It sucks starting off getting only male plants but patience is the key. I have only a place to grow 2 plants so to help my male to female ratio I orderd female seeds. I hope this was helpful.
