Hey im new here but im doing a grow with bagseed in 2 rubbermaid 45 gallon bins, im 5 1/2 weeks into veg and ive been lurking around here for awhile now. I also have this grow on a different site but 2 different sites means 2 different opinions so here we go. Ill start from the beginning pictures to just a few days ago......

2nd week


3rd week




4th week






5th week

looks like you have some problems.

water less frequently

give them more magnesium (1-2 teaspoons of epsum salt/gal water)

less nitrogen.

I usually watered it once every 2 days, ill definatly do the epsum salt with the water ill report but i didnt think it was for magnesium i thought it was for sodium deficiency.

Cool rubbermaid grow honey.

If you are watering every 2 days, that is s lot.

Before you water, take a pencil or something and poke it into the dirt, at least halfway in the pot, pull it out and see how dry the soil is. It should be dry before you water. Then when you water, pour a little in and then wait 10 or 15 minutes and then add the rest.

Good luck with your grow.

Ya i make sure when i water that the soil is completely dry, im actually in the process right now of putting a carbon filter in and redo the inside with mylar. Ill take some pics when im finished and ill post em. Thanx for the replies.

Definately overwatered. The big wide leaves are an indicator of overwatering.

What's your soil mixture? Our girls like soil that drains very well, any potting mix needs to have Perlite added to it.

I'd sure like to see some pics of your Rubbermaids too.

Come pop by the Lodge and check out my tubs.

Ya i saw ur tubs man, thats basically the reason why i started to grow in the tubs is because i saw ur thread about them. But ill get some new pics of the tubs asap, we just redid the entire tub yesterday and im planning on getting a 150 watt hps.

Cool, another Team Rubbermaider!!! Now I really want to see your tubs!

I found a good example of overwatering on my second last grow pics. Both plants are sativa/indica crosses but are a little different. The plant on the left has more sativa and was growing faster than the rightt one which has broad leaves. See the size of that big leaf!!!

I watered both when the left plant needed it, and ended up overwatering the right plant which didn't really need the water but I watered it anyway.

The right plant was slow to flower and develop, and ended up going about 90 days in flowering. I found that the roots didn't develop properly after it was harvested. This plant was revegged and grew normally with a normal flowering time of 55 days. I was careful to let it dry out enough and used 18/6 lighting which helps root development.

What you need to do is establish the water cycle for the plant. Let the plant go without water until the pot feels very light. Wait one more day and water if the leaves start to droop. If the leaves are still perky, wait another day. Your water cycle will be one day less than the time for it to get droopy. You have to do this test once in a while, especially after repotting.

Thanks so much man! Ill get pics of my rubbermaids as soon as possible, and yesterday i made a carbon filter for it and it works amazing! I was stunned at how much there was no smell.

Ok so i guess ill tell u guys alittle more about the grow, me and my brother in law are doing this grow over his house thats why i cant get pics all the time cause i only go over there once or twice a week. Also the plants are doing great and im trying to get some good pics of the cab but my sister just sent me one and my brother in law will send me some later......

This is of the flap we made on the side so we can easily reach in and water without having to take the whole damn top tub off...



as u can see we got the biggest tubs we could find and they happend to have wheels on them. They are 2 45 gallon tubs and the bulbs we are using are 1 150 watt fluro and 2 100 watt ones.
