Ok clorox, cannot wait!!
Those sound like some fantastic strains you have going there
How many cubic feet is the RM that you are growing in?

 

[clorox]

thanks guys

the rubbermaid is about 1.75 square feet inside

 

[250wscrogger]

woah. this is a TRUE micro. I'll be watching this one.

 

[lrdjax]

Dude, These holes are to big get a screen/net with 1inchx1inch or theres gonna be a mess

 

[silverhazexxx]

niceee,


ill be watchin and waitin.

Good luck

 

[its kurmit]

so clorox, warm or cool cfls? and how many of what wattage?

 

[Empathy]

nice dude good luck on your journey!

 

[clorox]

lrdjax: thanks for the advice, ill add some more wire to it later, first time SCROGing, i usually LST.

itskurmit: i have 2 x 33 watt warm CFL, as soon as it stops shitting snow all over the northeast im gonna venture out for another fixture and one more 46w CFL

 

[clorox]

Well, storms over, and i kept good on my promise and added another 20w CFL bringing me up to 76w of CFL's in my 18gal rubbermaid, i also bought a timer while i was there and rewired my light fixtures to all run off the same power chord, the timers set to 16/8 right now and well go to 12/12 on sataurday

and heres a quick pic:

Def. gonna watch this man update as much as possible, and I wanna see pics of the whole setup, because I plan on using an 18 gal rubber, as opposed to using 2. So I'm def looking forward to this. !!!!!

 

[clorox]

looking at my 18gal rubbermaid from the perspective of a former pc case grower, i feel like theres an unlimited amount of space inside one of these, and 2 rubbermaids stacked ontop of eachother dosent exactly blend into a room... im not lookin for complete stealth, but i dont want it to draw attention either, which i feel the one maid does perfectly.

 

[-.black.-]

That's exactly why I'm only gonna use one. I feel it's enough space to pull some weight in. I'm going 12/12 from seed and LST. Depending on how many females I get I may only LST half, and let the other half grow naturally with alittle tweak if it gets to tall. Just to see the yield comparison.

this looks like a very interesting grow! ill keep checkin up on it

 

[hermanshooltz]

Great grow man! The one in the middle seems to be an accelerator, heh.
I'll be cheking this out seems like a very interesting expirience ahead

 

[clorox]

hey guys sorry ive been MIA, the largest plant that was in the middle turned out to be a male

so hes out of the box and just sittin on my desk as a nice decorative plant, as i cant bring myself to kill an innocent plant

the other 4 are coming along nicely and should be big enough in a week or so to show sex, pix to come when i can figure out how to get my damn bluietooth working again

 

[RudieJ]

Sorry to hear it. I've been thinking about doing that if my plant turns out to be male since I won't have the time to start another grow until summer. Just veg it out the old fashioned way and see how big it gets with the typical care a houseplant gets.

 

[ripOG]

Hi clorox, how exactly did you wire you light fixtures to one cord? I'm not sure if I should run them in series or parallel.

Sorry to hear about the boy. You should get a smaller rubbermaid and grow him out to make seeds.
