PLZZ READ noob grower with awesome pics inside a treasure chest!

[noob8]

ok so i got this treasure chest that i hollowed out (pics below) and started a grow "station" and i really need some advice about how im doing cause im a complete noob. first what i did is put a light fixture i made on the top of the chest- it has 2 100 watt bulbs that are really like 20 watts or some thing and one long tube light thing. i germinated and planted the seed and so far i think its doing pretty good but if i could get some advice on how im doing that would be great----o yea and im going to be leaving for 7 days and was wondering if any one knew a way that i could keep it watered or moisturised while im away. ill keep a log too--- thanks

You are going to have some serious height restraints growing in the treasure chest. You might want to consider upgrading to a taller unit. With reguards to keeping it nice and watered while you are gone, just give it a solid watering before leaving, that's about all you can do.

Also, that look like tin foil on the inside of your chest, you should not use that for reflection. Try mylar

thanks much for the advice but with the height issue i was planning on growing till its tall enough and transplanting it to either this hollowed out tall speaker or outside in my woods

dude, you should turn the chest on it's side. so it's tall and skinny.
you could grow one big kick ass plant in it. put floro tubes down all 4 corners and have some lights above. sounds fun to me.

or keep it how it is. have your plant at one end, then train it in a zig zag down the entire boxt and let only the side shoots grow upwards.

or... do whatever the hell you want

just have fun

hmm. you also dont have any vent's that's going to be a problem. trust me, the heat from the lamps is the biggest problem for most growers, cuz no one thinks of it on their first grow

day 15 another pair of leaves are starting to appear tomarow im going to transplant and add a fan any advice?
