stealth cab ready 4 af's just need 1 question answered

i have been working on obtaining eveything i need for my cab. measurements are 3ftx 2ft and 4ft tall. i have a 250w hps (around 33,000 lumens) i also bought 4 feit 40w cfl for veg period (6500k). i bought several 4 gallon square wastebaskets for my containers. i have a can 2600 and exhaust fan thats a lil over 100 cfm's. im currently waiting on my pyrex bake a round tube to construct my cool tube (i have plenty of time since the seeds have just been germinated) and i also have some ultra kaze 120mm (133+ cfm)
as im writing this im realizing that i have more than 1 question so sorry guys but like any grower i just wanna make sure i get everything right. since this is a stealth grow i would like to cut back on noise as much as possible so with saying that let me ask this, would the ultra kaze be enough to have 1 acting as an intake and the other as an exhaust? my main purpose for posting this is to ask the ones on here with the experience or knowledge about what size containers could i put the af's in without stunting growth until they show their sex. i dont have enough space, soil, or 4 gallon containers to be putting in a sh*t load of seeds only to wait a few weeks to realize that ive been babying a bunch a males. im no homophobic but i love females lol. any advice or criticism on my setup is welcome and please help me with my questions. oh sorry once again but heres another 1 for you guys. i am using organic potting soil (the cheap stuff from wally world) i got the ff grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom. will these nutrients work as good with regular potting soil then opposed to some of the other well known growing soil? thank you in advance for any input, criticism, and advice. MAY YOUR GROWS BE PROSPEROUS AND HIGH YIELDING :S5:

good stuff !!! and much appreciated

come on guys, 19 views and 1 comment. i know some of ya have a lil knowledge to spread. heck criticize my setup, tell me im doin this or that wrong and i needa do it that way. im more of an outdoor grower and usually go for the longer flowering strains so im kinda new to this but i do plan on taking 1 male easyryder & 1 female easyryder to produce seeds and the same as well with the autoak's so i will have plenty seeds if i can just get one or two experienced indoor growers on here to help me along my path to success then growers honer :hippy: i will reward you for your expertise. oh and please dont mssg me saying its only the first day have patience or anything like that b/c seeds are germinating and time is runnin short :sorry1:

Yeah time is definitely short with af's, they will start flowering at 3 weeks from seed. That being said, since their life is so short those 4 gal buckets are overkill, I found half that size is good enough (6" x 6" x 10" pots) and 9.5" x 9.5" x 12" pots were perfect if not a little too big. As for the ventilation, that's something I usually have to play around with until it does it's job right...try bungee cords and foam spacers to keep vibration down.

thanks alot redtails, ive been researching hempy buckets. any experience with those ? seems like alot of ppl use 2 gallon buckets for those but im still unsure on the pros n cons :wtf:

look into LED lighting for your cab...no heat issues...all is needed is a small fan to circulate air! here is pic of a buddies plants vegging for 6 weeks in a 2' x 3' box with 2 red/blue LED std base bulb ...1 is 10 watts and the other is 15 watts. shows how little power is needed when giving plants the light spectrum they want!:thumbsup:

led's a+++
ive thought about em but they are just out of my price range for now but i would most definitely like to get me some here in the near future

Those bulbs he's talking about are like $50 I believe, really the only affordable LED's that I've seen.

No, I've done a lot of experimenting in each of my grows but haven't put together a hempy yet...it's on my list though.

what led's are you talkn about? i might throw some in there for my next grow

They are the kind you can scew into a normal socket and look like flood lamps kind of. Do a search on eBay, they're all over...
