    1st time Bin Growth

    This may sound ludicrus, but i have a desire to grow a marijuana plant in a bin using a Beasty leisure battery.

    i have a 85ah hour 12v battery and an efficient power inverter to connect mains lights to it.

    i have bleached and washed out thouroughly a household bin similar to one of these:

    i spraypainted the bin matt white and it looks beautiful inside.
    i have mounted a shelf for the big battery and all i need is some help with my light setup.

    oh and the bin is burried in my back garden so stablize the temperature a bit better.

    here is a simple diagram of my setup:

    my problem is, i can only use around 50watts of lighting. these/this light will run on a pulley system and will always be as close to the plant as possible.

    please can you tell me if it is possible to get the cannabis plant into flowering with this little lighting and can someone help to find some lighting with this in mind?

    can you give a reason?

    not enough lighting?

    this is a small enclosed space 100%spraypainted white.

    is there no way that i can get enough light to the plants using minimal power?

    75watt is really the upper limit i can go with

    you will have a better chance with finding a safe spot outdoors without the bin and plant it in the ground.

    I think he means you have a better chance throwing a handful of seeds in the ground some place hidden.

    i think temperature stability is going to be problematic inside a plastic bin outside. you might be able to get a small plant going but like mentioned, it would be more worth it to find a remote location and grow that plant 20 x bigger. but gl, 75 watts of cfl?
