Rubbermaid Grow Log

[wyldeganja30]

yeah i think i am going to do 18. Dont want the electric bill to high lol.
So far i have 6 seeds planted. 1 Red and 5 Green. I have 2 types of seeds so i named them. Red was pretty good mids and green was really pretty but not as good. hopeflly i can turn them both into some fire ass ganja. I burried them about a fingernail deep inthe soil. I got the box ready to go. Hopefully tommorow there will be some life.

wyldeganja30 Reviewed by wyldeganja30 on 02-02-2010. Rubbermaid Grow Log I made a grow box out of a Rubbermaid tub i had. I have Five 26 watt Cfls and a homemade rig for them. I went to wal-mart and got a timer, Miracle-Grow Potting mix, Four 8" clay pots, 22 peatmoss Jiffy-Pots, and 2 cans of white paint. This is just a little experiment. I spray painted the inside of the tub white and installed the light rig in the cover. i have an old bathroom vent that installed in the bottom. The lights are going to be on a timer im not sure if i am going to do 18 or 16 Rating: 5

I tried making a watering system. i used a 10 qt trashcan and put 2 holes in the bottom. then i stuck two 3 way conectors in the hole and it is water tight. After that i ran 4 tubes and stuck another 3 way to split it. Then i ran them into the plants. I thought it would work but the water doesnt stop coming out and it soaked the soil. i also had the bucket above the box. Was it up to high? Advice please..:wtf:

Im not an expert on watering systems (let alone growing in general)
But if this is your first/second grow. I would stay back from an automatic watering system, because of these babies not needing alot of water to grow.

You can run into problems like over-watering, mold, and worst of all since they are seedlings ive had them never sprout and turn dark brown/black basically dead.

18/6 is usually the best schedule from reading around but ive had great success from 24/0

Do you have a thermometer? If not it is important to get one especially with one that checks humidity.

On a thread on here it says that you want the temps around 78, also the humidity at around 40% for young babies and as low as possible for flowering to prevent mold.

Check out my setup i used bins like you did but i upgraded my Grow room alot, the oldest one had another bin on top with 12-26w CFL's on the top lid.

i like the box , i was also thinkin about useing this method or idea but then i thought i need big plants so the closet got picked,

Im doing a 22/2 shed untill 12/12 i want it to grow the fastest but i want to give the lights a rest atleast once a day for two hours

If i were you id go 18/6, mine grew faster on this then 24/0. Just seem to give the plant a chance to catch up to its self, sort of a breather:thumbsup:

Just a thought:rasta:

[wyldeganja30]

Yeah i have them on 18/6 right now:thumbsup:

I would have to agree with LetsSeeya. I ran 18/6 on my first grow and on my current grow I am running 24 hours of light. If I wasn't dealing with the cold issues I have and didn't need the light to be on to take care of these issues I would definetly run a 18/6.

I feel like the plant has alot of things going on during its night period and just make the girl that much better. Could be just me though!
