Hey guys! I got some bag seed one day and said f** it lets give it a good go.
I did some research and decided on kind of a bucket grow with cfls. Currently it's been a bit under 6 weeks from seed. It has a total of 370w of either 6400k or 2700k from the top and 80w of either in side lighting. Should i try and cram more light in? Am I trying to flower too early? Pics of my set up and a few stages of growth (Last pic was from yesterday)20200408_183232.jpg20200405_142110.jpg20200408_182222.jpg

Those the biggest tubs you can get, if ya could get bigger would help ya in buildin around her.

Either way youv done well gettin it this far. I thought surely this is gunna be another piss poor half dead lookin plant but shes a fat bush.

Hows the plastic tub handle the heat from the light sockets, ive run a cple in a half assed wardrobe setup an know that the sockets can produce fair amount of heat.

Well done!

How much height do you have inside the stack of tubs? Flipping to flower is going to make that plant stretch like hell. Imagine it will stay the same width, but 2X or 3X in height in the 2 weeks following your flipping to 12/12.

Well met thus far. Can't wait to see how it all ends up!

Super impressed with what was in the box. Good work man. Do you plan on trimming some of those fan leaves to allow better light penetration?

Great advice ...amazon is a bit slow right now but you can get a grow tent to suit your needs for as cheap as $100 delivered but spending $150 would be ideal a bit bigger ...

You can get a 48" x 48" x 80" Vivosun tent for $105.99 on Amazon. They obviously aren't the highest quality, but I've been growing in one for 2 years, and it still looks new.

If he's growing in tubs right now, he's obviously looking for a stealth grow. Setting up a tent may not be feasible.

Those tubs aren't the cheap ones, and he bought two and chopped them up. I don't think the cost of a tent is the issue here.

How are tubs that glow like light bulbs more stealth than a small 2x2 tent? People look at seups like that and say "What the hell is that contraption?". People see a 2x2 grow tent and just think it's a portable wardrobe.

Hahah this is true but it fits in my downstairs toilet and the reason for the tub is because of my wife.. was easier for me to ease her into this compact thing before I expand. But yeah I'd like a tent and a hps etc
