This is my second go around.

My first attempts were quite shaky as to I was actually doing more to the plants, than reading and learning about WHAT to do to the plants. wrong lights, poor containers, heat stress etc etc etc haha.

Well after reading quite a bit more and planning out my second grow, I decided to go with a stealth rubbermaid growbox, which I thought was just nifty

Well my box isnt too stealthy anymore - seeing as how my puny fans couldnt pick up the slack and expel the heat my 6x42watt cfls were producing. I decided to cut a flap away from the right side of the bin and place my standing floor face directly next to that, gaining much airflow and steadying temperatures around 80.9 at the warmest.

Yes, that's my homemade reflector you're looking at in the second picture. I'm quite proud of my well spent time configuring it, while on a nice spliff.
And dont worry - it's not resting directly on the lights - its hanging, avoiding fire hazards is just as important as anything else right?

Planted Sept 3rd, sprouted days later. All badseed.

Each plant is in an empty 2litre bottle with the top cut off - yes yes i know its not nearly enough room for these guys but I figured I'm working with the space I have, and if I could manage to get 3 plants from seedling to harvest in disposable party cups... this has got to be a whole hell of a lot better.

The soil is a 1:2 perlite to gardenplus top soil - which doesnt contain any fertilizer in it.

A few weeks ago (approx. 3) some Miracle Grow ferts (30-10-10) were added (yes yes i know miracle grow is a disaster for some but the numbers I liked and the price was even better! and not to mention convenience..

Well 3 of the plants just went to hell from the ferts - wayyy too sensitive to them I suppose, seeing as how I've evenly fed all the plants every watering period.

Also I noticed a slight overdosing of N (dark fan leaves) on some of my plants so I flushed a bit with some tap water and everything seems to be OK :jointsmile:

Also the plants have been LST'd - as with my first grow. After seeing good results in many of these forums I decided to do a SOG setup moreso than individually tieing down each plant. All the plants have grown through the screen now - but it did its job enough at the time to level off the canopy more than it was so I'm satisfied with it.

This go around has been muchhhhh smoother thanks to some better planning and lots of reading here and of course Jorge's Bible.

Let me know what you guys think!! :thumbsup:
