bombdiggity Reviewed by bombdiggity on 04-09-2008. My First Grow, super noob! Okay, I got a lot of my information off of this forum. Funny enough I had the tub idea before I even started looking. This grow is going to be just bagseed for my first try because I dont want to ruin some exspensive shit. I've got some good seeds on the way for my next batch, provided this one goes well. I'm at about day 5, from when I started germinating the seeds. I chose a method which I learned at the cannabis college in amsterdam to germinate. Just put the seeds into a cup of water and Rating: 5

Yeah, not quite, but thanks anyways!
My rep says -11 point(s) total

So I dont know what that means, I've only got 2 negative reps in there and 2 green, and 3 greys, so I don't know whats up. Uhh, I don't really know how the rep system works. As soon as I can again I'll give you another but it says I have to spread it around some right now.

Okay, so I'm thinking going scrog in a few weeks. I've looked at a lottttt of scrog postings, but I run into a dilemma with my box. How would I put a scrog into it? The way I'll be accessing my plants is by removing the top tub, so I was thinking I could just put it between the tubs, but then I realized that I then wouldn't be able to reach under the scrog to put them through the holes or water them. Anybody have any suggestions?

when they get maybe 1 or 2 nodes bigger start LST (low strength training) them to get em ready for scrog.
look up LST on the forums if you havent already.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to be doing some LSTing, but I don't know how I can go about putting a SCROG into my set-up, because I face the problem of not being able to access my plants without removing the top, and I don't see how I can do that without removing the plants from the scrog each time.

What size pot are you going to use for the final transplant? I realized my rubbermaid was too small to host more than one (17qt). Your rubbermaid looks a bit larger. But still keep that in consideration.

I ordered a $95.95 400 watt HPS light. Now I can just use my closet as a grow room and have four plants in 17qt pots growing huge.


The scrog will work nicely if you can fit 2 or 3 in there.

I wasn't planning on transplanting them again. I've read that the final transplant should be a 4-6 inch pot. The 2 liters are 4 and 1/2 inches and pretty deep. Do you think I should have to transplant it again?

I don't know how big my rubbermaids are cause I peeled the stickers off.

From all that I've read and observed the 2 liter soda bottles are too small. Its recommended to use a 5-gallon. Bigger the better I assume. I believe anywhere from 3-5 grows a nice large plant. I don't have much experience however, I'm as new at this as you.



Hopefully someone with more expertise can answer this question to a better extent

Wellls, things have been going well. I've got all my girls in their 2 liters still. Anyone know if I'll need to transplant again or if these 2 liters will do?

The extra 2 liter you see in there are three 2 liters with frozen water that I cycle through when they dethaw to bring the temps down even more. It works really well. Been using the Fox Farm and it seems to be booming. They're not getting very tall, just really bushy, which is good because I want to keep them short. I also started LSTing them yesterday.

When do y'all think I can start looking for pre-flowers?
