Box stealth grow

This is my first time growing, i found a couple bag seeds in a great eighth of MJ, so i'm hoping i get that great chron from this grow.

I germinated the seeds for about 3 days, the tap root was a bout 1/4" long when i put it in the soil. Im using 2 small containers for now (a can for canned food, and a chip dip container). I have 2 CFL's going over them for now, one is 6500k and the other 2700k, i have two other CFL's ill be adding when they get into flowering. They're on a 18/6 light cycle. I'm not using any fans!!! I simply cut a hole on the top of the box, and one on the bottom.

Here's a pic and any advice is helpful!

I'll add more pics once the light comes back on!

Those look like small bulbs, you'll probably do better by adding more watts. Good that you have a spectrum mix. I'd give them 24 hr light, 6 hrs of dark does them no good now.

How long should i do that for? Until they break soil? I just put some plastic wrap over the top to speed things up.



Sorry for the bad quality, i've yet to find my camera

Edit: I have 2 other CFL's i can hook up for more light (one 2700k and the other 6500k) Should i do this? I am just worried about the temperature inside the box as i dont have any fans to take air in or out, just holes in the box.

Update: I have added a pretty large PC fan as an exhaust for the box now. Both the seedlings have sprouted and are well on their way i hope. Pics for your viewing pleasure

The new fan


I can have more lights going now thanks to the fan!
