ya man of course and go bigger man grab a smaller ruber maid thats only like 8 to 10 inches in height but tenty inches in diamter trust me man you'll want it

and lights i recommend 12, 23 watt cfls for the first one
your gonna need some screw in hooks VERY USEFUL for tying down for lst and holding your lights in the right spot
plus they now sell y adapters get 6 of em they screw into actual socket adapter get a few cheap extension cords and use reflective tape to cover wires and keep out the way

fa sho i got two thai super skunk in a 3 gallon rubbermaid and they are doing fine soon to be one cause one is showing signs of a male so im bout to chop him soon. but yea i got off track. with that big of a container you could have a mini tree growin. for drainage just drill big holes on the botton.

walmart should have a huge selection of thoes bins, same as k mart and target. for cfl's it all depends on how much you want to spend and the space you have. are you gunna buy clamp lights and use the spiral cfl bulbs or do you have a little room to buy 2 footer or 4 footer lights? personaly im saveing up a few bucks for this, im going to use it to veg and maintain my clones. http://cgi.ebay.com/4-Lamp-2-foot-T5-GROW-LIGHT-with-MIXED-VEG-BLOOM-BULBS_W0QQitemZ180194886912QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item29f473c500&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262 it also comes in 4 foot, and 2 bulbs, 4 bulbs like the one im getting, 6 bulbs, and 8bulbs. hope this helps. oh yeah also high output T5's are better then your standard cfl, but still no HID like mh/hps lights.

sorry about this just gettin a little co nfused and short on money so want easier ways to do this..

1) can i not use two pots 1 6inch (diameter) and then transplant into another bigger pot but what size pot do you reccomend.??

2) in this forum there was a guy i think by the name lfg and he was sayin use 12, 23 watts cfls.. im a little confused on what he said ..but what he sai seems reasonable for my budget.. do you think you could get me a uk link from ebay ? or something

hey man sorry adot im back ya i was saying 12 cfls you should be able to buy them for like 20-30 bucks in a package deal. make sure there 23 watts much under that is useless
12 may sound like allot but truthfully you will see a great yield for cfl'sthe more the merrier just keep it cool

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LOT-OF-12-ECOLIFE-8000-HOUR-CFL-BULBS-23-WATT_W0QQitemZ110380316492QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b32df74c&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

look around there are better deals out there


as far as containers go, go to your local hardware store and find a pot or plastic bin that fits your grow box an budget
the thing is root mass can be quite important so go with as big as you can

and yes in the beginning starting them out in smaller pot is fine just make sure you transplant it soon enough so it doesnt have root bound.

hope this helps


BUT ANY ONE PLEASE COMMENT ON THE AC SET UP I WOULD LOVE OPINION THIS THREADS GETTING OFFF TOPIC A BIT LOL
