Rubbermaid Bagseed Grow

[Buckten]

I am grow six plants from some pretty good bagseeds. i have a 40 gallon rubbermaid tub that i converted into a grow box. I cut 3 holes in the lid and they were just big enough to thread the Y-spitters through it. Then i took sockets and threaded them on to the splitters and this is so they stay snug. The white fan is just from a bathroom vent that i stripped down. I cut a hole for that as well and screwed it on with the blade poking through the box. I spliced the fan with the lights so that it turns on with them. On the side of the box there is a black fan. This fan stays on 24/7 on low speed. i got this fan from home depot for $10 and i just cut the plastic cage off. i cut a hole in the side for this and just screwed it on. I also covered the walls and lid with tin foil. The lights i am usin are four 26wt and two 40wt. i think i am around 18000 lumens. the tempurature stays around 85 with the lid cracked. and i think the pots that they are in are 1 gallon clay pots. Soil is Miricle grow organic blend. Nutes for now is Miricle grow all purpose and right now i am only doing 1/4 strength. Advice is helpful lol.

Do you plan to flower then in your tub? How tall can they get?

Day 4 is looking good. The plants are healthy and well takin care of. temp is around 80-85 light and 68-70 dark. I will post some more pics tomorrow.

I wouldn't start giving them any nutes yet. Wait a while before you do. It is like pumping a 2 yr old kid full of steroids and I don't think that would go over very well...
Just my 2c.

I plan on starting flower in there but with another tub on top. This tub is just for the babies. Right now they still have a lil bit to grow before i make the box bigger. i also picked up another bathroom vent for suckin air out of the box. I have pics from today but i have to find the cord for the camera.

Any chance you can throw a vapor dome over top of them? Another rubbermaid perhaps? They'll like that too for the first 2 weeks or so. Put a few breath holes in the dome. Don't forget to breath the dome periodically, and that you need to adjust them slowly when you remove the dome.

right no i cant with the way the box is set up. but the light is about 3-4 inches from the top of the plant so i am going to throw another tub on top in about a week

This is what i am using to water my plants with. It is made for weed killer but i only put clean filtered water in it. I refill that blue 5 gallon jug and pour 3 gallons into the sprayer. This works very well. Also there are tiny little white critters roaming the surface of the soil latley. Any ideas on wtf they are and if they can harm the plant.
