Its a closet without insulation so whatever the temp is outside usually means thats what is going to be the temp for inside. I'm in the process of making a grow box as we speak and it'll be done by this week. From now on 18/6 after this batch is flower.

Just a tip for the box your making, stick with the flat white paint instead of foil. The foil shouldnt be much of a problem with the lights youre using, but just as a rule if you cant get mylar or something similar, flat white paint is the best alternative.

Well the problem with the paint is that it kept chipping off. and i dont want paint chips in the soil. other wise i would have stuck with it. but i am going to get some mylar soon

It seems like you're not using the right kind of paint. I did a similar rubbermaid grow and used white spray paint for the inside, and I never experience any kind of chipping. You need spray paint that's specific for plastics. However, if you're going to invest in mylar, that would be the best choice by far.

Another thought I was having about your setup is that maybe you should combine two rubermaids to make the container larger and give the plants some room to grow. Perhaps use the smaller one you have currently to veg the plants and then put them into the bigger container to flower.

Yeah this is just for the little guys. When they are ready for flowering i am getting two 35 gallon tubs and using those. i am actually thinking about making a mother plant and making a hydroponic system for the clones. Maybe an Eben Flow with a bubbler in it.I was also going to invest in a 400w hps. but the ballast and sheild are pretty expensive. Just ideas i still got a litle bit of time to figure it out.

I had 8 sprouts early this morning. i was gone for like 10 hours and i rushed to water them and i got home and 1 was dead. there are now 7 sprouts, 6 green and 1 red. 4 seeds still havent sprouted. i got one seed from an 8th of some good weed today. i just started germinating it.:jointsmile:

[wyldeganja30]

I am planning on mixing up my own soil. Any suggestions?

[wyldeganja30]

I still have 8 sprouts. I transfered them into 18oz plastic cups. and i put white pebble on top to keep in moisture and reflect light. I was looking for carbonated water to spray on the leaves and i was stuck between club soda, sodium free club soda, and sodium free seltzer. so i got the seltzer and was was hoping on anyones input to wether or not that is just plain carbonated water?
