just read the thread man its lookin good for all the issues and stuff, our grows are kinda similar. Right now ive got 10 - 2700k - 23w CFL's in a 24x15x42 box, i too have had heat problems for the past month(whole grow). but my temps are around 78-86(for now, its still cold outside like 40 F and i keep the room the box is in at like 68 F and that was 18/6 lights and today i switched to 12/12). i have 4 - 4" fans blowing directly on the CFL's(one at each end of a row of 5 lights) and a 8" fan blowing under the plant, and a mini tower fan blowing up from the bottom, i have 3 120mm - 180 cfm PC fans at the top back of the box for exhaust and 1 120mm 80cfm PC fan at the bottom for intake, but right now i have to have the door of the box open like an inch with a fan blowing towards the cracked door(Great stealthly grow with a box that looks like the damn sun is trying to escape) or else it too gets to around 91 F even with all the fanns and air flow. im trying to find a solution for the heat and my only solution is running a hose from my A/C to the box for a cold air intake basically. i havent done it yet, cuz i dont have much of a smell yet but i know i will soon and i need to shut that door. i too wish i would have just gone with a 200w CFL with a hood and stuff, Still thinking about getting one and rearranging the box one day before its to late. Good luck with yours, im subscribed and +rep.

PS feel free to check my journal out, the box changes drastically from the first picture to the most recent posts.
Thanx dude preciate the feedback. Yea ur def gon have smell probs for sure sounds like frowm what you said. Ima go check out ur shit.

great lookin grow! ive gotta try making one of these myself from RUBs :)
Thanx man, but for real I think instead of going rubbermaid you should build a cab and then go with inline fans and a cooltube or inline fans with a giant CFL. The rubbermaid is hard to work with and hard to control heat.

Dude, I see what ur saying, but with width and length, plus when you get into flower,and with the heat I don't think it's worth it. I'd go with a nice big cab and a inline fan and a DIY carbon scrubber on the intake end of the ac tube. But I appriciate the input and you reading the thread bro.

Well I know that I had at least 2 weeks to go till half amber half clear crystals. I wanted to do that. Was planning for that. But some shit happened today that made the wife VERY paranoid don't wanna go to far into that. She wanted me to harvest and dry and just get it done. So I did. I took a look through the scope 3 days ago and the crystals were 3/4's clear and 1/4's amber, but some shit happened and I had to harvest. I wanted to take pix of the whole process but as soon as I pulled the 3 girls out of the box my WHOLE apt REEKED. I mean STINKY. Never smelled weed that dank. So I decided that to get them back in the box and drying with the scrubbers getting rid of that smell to just trim and get em back in. I don't wanna guess how much I harvested, seeing as they're still wet and all. But I think i got way more than I thought I would. And i think i got more than LRG will lol ;) just fucking with you dude. As soon as everything is dried and cured I'll post pix and update. Till then wish me luck on NO BULLSHIT happening. (which I don't think) And wish me luck on gettting this new job. See you with new pix in like 2 weeks. Or I might take some pix later of the buds drying, not sure. Take it easy.

Well some time has gone by and i'm pretty sure the buds are dry enough they feel light and kinda hard been 4 days drying in the box so i've thrown them in some mason cars and thats where they'll stay until I can smoke again :( bummer right? lol, though I did smoke a chillum of a lil bit. Like 3 good hits and i was BLOWN. Lol, I could for sure tell that they could have gone 2 more weeks, it was a real upper high, kinda energetic, I also noticed it kinda crept up on me. I took 3 hits and didn't dare take more cause I know that with only 3 hits, being skinny, and not having smoked in months and months that 3 would get out of my system pretty quick. I didn't feel stoned for like 5 mins maybe more, and was started to get disappointed but then WHAM, lol, blown. So i don't know if it's cause the trichs were like 1/3 amber 2/3 cloudy, or maybe that's just how Bubblicious is. But that's how my bud turned out. The buds are pretty sparkly, with yellow hairs all through-out, with a light bubble gum smell. I can also see what ppl mean when they say that CFL's produce lighter buds. When I was looking at them all finished and dry I thought I had a couple of ounces at least. But I just weighed them out and it turned out to only be 30 grams, roughly 1.6 ounces. Was hoping for more of course but i'm not dissappointed at all. And considering everything i struggled with i think it all turned out pretty good. Here are some pix.

Nice looking buds. How long till you move and get another grow going?
Mid july is when I move. Soon as I get there i'm germing the last of the Bubblicious seeds and making another cab. Once the moms get big, taking clones and starting over, this time with good soil. So pretty much like 4 months.
