Thanks! That fuckin cracked me up real good shake, I have personally never heard that quote, right nor wrong, but man, I LOL'd 4 real.

i think you mean "like lamb and tuna fish!" ahaha sorry I say that quote allllll the time.

The buds look sooo yummy. It's making me salivate.

Thanks rbkw!

Hot damn that looks good! I can't believe all of that fits in that rubbermaid box :wtf:

Keep up the great work...your CFL grow is giving me hope in mine! :rastasmoke:

Thanks kaiten, good luck in your grow, if you have any troubles I'm fairly sure the good folks of the forum will be able to help!

awesome grow. Looks like a great success for such a small grow box.

I'd like to ask a few questions on your box, if you don't mind?
Making a growbox myself, and want to use rubbermaid.

whats in the box ontop of the growbox? (cardboard, not power supply)
did you change the lights when flowering started?
Were the sockets in a fixture prior to build or individuals screwed onto wood?
where were the fans located? I think I see one near lights? were the two vents below the plants passive intake/exhaust?

Thanks mgjscdhl, I would have to agree! Of course I don't mind answering some q's.

The box that is ontop of the rubbermaid is basically a chimney for my exhaust fan. It is a chambered box so that light cannot enter my growbox through the fan. Its not taped down so I just pull it off to have a look at my girl.

I did swap the bulbs. For veg I had 4 6500k 23w CFL's, and 2 2700k 23w, and for flowering I have 5 2700k 23w and 1 6500k 23w.

The fixture was bought from home depot, it was all together and was a "bathroom" fixture, so the wiring can handle some moisture. The fixture was then bolted to the top of the box with the wood there so the fan behind (on the top) the fixture could have some room to suck air.

I only run 2 fans, the exhaust is a high flow 120mm computer fan, I believe it was rated for a bit over 100cfm, so it moves plenty of air. It is located on the top of the box behind the lights, as hot air rises. The intakes are 2 90 degree 3 inch PVC elbows, one on each side, right under my canopy, so air is pulled through it, I figured it would help prevent mold. The second fan is another 120mm fan that is hanging in a corner of the box, it is held by some tie wire(NOT THE CORD) and blows air across the canopy. Temps are not a problem.

Hope that helps, and thanks all for stopping in, I'll have another update on the weekend!
