UPDATE!
UPDATE!
Here we are again, another update. Now with more pictures!
All plants have been transplanted and are all getting nutes every other feeding. I got a few 5ml oral syringes to accurately measure the concentration. It works great!
Before I post the pics, let me describe what I've done to each plant.
All Plants: Pruned lower fan leaves
Plant 1: Topped
Plant 2: Pruned only. Letting this one grow un molested
Plant 3: Super cropped, bent and topped
Plant 4: Super cropped
Plant 5: Super cropped
On with the show...
Plant 1. Super healthy. New leaves are forming nine leaflets! Responded well to topping and is growing into its new shoots. Responding hella well to nutes. Look at this lady! The undergrowth is perking up as well.
Plant 2. This lady is being allowed to grow straight, with no abuse. Just letting her reach for the sky!
She doesn't seem to mind, and it so healthy and happy! No wonder she's the tallest... she still has her head!
Plant 3. This one has had the most tough love. Its been super cropped, bent over, pruned, and topped
Look at how well shes responding though! The pinched part of the stock is knoting up quite well, the undergrowth is great, and I'm looking forward to seeing how she turns out.
Plant 4. Both the OG Retards got x-planted the other night and were in need of nutes, as you can see from the color. Despite their size, their root mass was actually quite substantial! I was very surprised.
Plant 5. Doing well, still struggling. Both the OGs will be a bit behind the others, but they are fighting!
And the group shot! What a happy family!

So things are very green in my garden They are getting flowered in about 2-3 weeks 
Thanks for stopping by! 
Questions and comments are always welcomed.

Thanks for stopping in. Unfortunately, I'm not going to have the Rubbermaid for much longer... after this harvest, I'm upgrading to a perpetual tent 250w HPS setup. But I agree the Rubbermaid club should be re banded 
Right on, growMEDS!
I've been so excited lately. I think they were over nuted in the beginning... I've heard FFOF can run a little hot on seedlings. When you combine that with the hot temps they were facing in the beginning, I think they were just pretty stressed. They seem to be making a run for it now tho, whoa boy! Watch it! The bitches are hungry 
Anyway, good times

rubbermaids are fun and a great way to begin growing

Thank darrin!
Rubbermaids are great to start in, but the itch for something better is already upon me. I'll be flowering in this box for this run, but I'll have a new veg tent in about 3 weeks to get some new stock started. After that I'll be picking up a larger flower tent and scoop a nice HPS. Probably have to stick with a 250w though, as ambient temps are an issue and I need to exhaust into the same space the grow is taking place.
Your rubbermaid looked like it worked well for you. Right on! Thanks for stopping by

Picture Update. ~37 days from seed
Picture Update. ~37 days from seed
Wow, do I have some fine lookin plants on my hands! There's really nothing wrong with any of them, so I won't be posting long descriptions this time, just some leaf porn They all got minor hair cuts 2 nights ago. All prettied up for the photo shoot
Plant 1. I added a close up of the new growth created by the topping I did. Doing awesome.
Plant 2. This one is drinking very fast. I gave her some water tonight, but this pic was taken before, so she's still just slightly wilted, but awesome none the less
Plant 3. Photos speak for themselves. This one was also topped and is responding very well. When viewed from the top, she has a 9" wingspan
I Didn't take pics of the shorties because they aren't very exciting... growing, but nothing noteworthy.
--------------------------------------------
These babies are lovin the nutes! They absolutely explode after a strong feeding! Some are starting to show the slightest signs of preflowers. It will still be another few days until anything shows. And it's only on one plant right now. Pray to the gods to give a brotha' some females!!
Hope you enjoyed looking!
Best,
