this time i put alot of time and effort into my grow opperation.
the place im living at is as cool as a freezer.
the people are gunna get me hooked up with some people that have NLxSkunk #1 and AKxWhite widow clones.
25 a plant but for true genetics in KY i'll pay 100 a clone.
heres the box.
im running it dry to test the temps and air flow. flow is good, temps about 73.5 at floor and 76-80 at lights.

For my first and only grow about 4 years ago I used a rubbermaid tub with just two CFLs at the top to grow and veg from seed (later moved under 400w HPS). I painted the inside flat white. They were luscious inside that thing. I really surprised myself. I think your plants will do well in there.
i got 3 babys from a very old friend in indiana last night.
he gave me some indica seeds, no specific strain.
here is the updated pic.
updates.....SUCCESS.

What's going on?...(in the second pic)
they are chile, golden habanero and Bhut jolokias.
update
the big light is a 300 watt warm daylight specialty light.
it set me back 25 bucks but it is bright as HELL!
When I had my plants in my rubbermaid I didn't stack two on top. I painted the underside of the lid flat white and had my CFLs through that, and set the lid on top. That might help you while your plants are really small...just to get the light as close as possible. I wish I had taken pictures.
One plant per pot, otherwise they will fight for water and nutriments. The rubbermaid setup look nice, wait until they get about 5 nodes and start LST them.
well it is already LST'ed i did it befor i read your post.
why cant i LST it now?
it has turned towards the light.
im probably gunna grow it a little more, then tilt it to the side and attach it to the rim of the pot continuesly untill it circles .
Twist tie it to a stake shoved back into the center of the pot or run a stick through two perpendicular holes the twist tie it to that.
how should i seperate them, just cut the root ball?
UPDATES!!!
the plants are doing nicely.
the plants are fine.
i painted the whole inside of the tub white.
i put aluminum foil tape all over the out side of the tub to make it light tighter.
the bean leaves fell off a couple of days ago.
im planning a hempy bucket grow.
i cant find my microSD card or i would update pics.
(they will be soon)
thanks

BONG HIT!!!!!
i repotted my biggest plant into a bigger pot.
the new pot takes up almost all the room in the grow box.
mvp, your last post made me think of something....
what if the bottom tub WAS the pot, that would be a huge container for roots to grow into remember bigger roots=bigger budz.
lets say that you fill the bottom container half full of good soil, that would leave about a foot for vertical growth, then you put a screen on the top of that container and have a one plant "scrog-n-a-box" :jointsmile:
the tub has intake holes in the sides for air flow.
but great idea.
i got all the supplies to do a hempy bucket.

if you have any questions about the pics you see, feel free to ask i'll explain them.
the biggest plant is a...........FEMALE!!!!
im going to take clones tomorrow.
so are you gonna scrog?
I am about to start a 2 plant experiment in a pc case. I will probably use the lights u have and add a LED
I will track you progress...they look awesome....
my only plant is getting tall.
my grow space is quite tight.
can i just top the big bitch, and shove a tooth pick in the center of the cut?
here are pics.
and if i scrog i would just top, then weave the growing tip into a mesh type material hung over the plant or attached to the light dome??
should i add more lights?
i think it would like more and new lights.
more pics.
if i were to go scrog what are the advantages and disadvantages?
