Hey guys, back once again with the '3rd grow'. The second grow was torn down due to a scare. Not happy about it but oh well, im back now. This grow is a mini grow out of a shoe box :p

Things im using:
- Shoe Box (obviously, haha.)
- 1 80mm PC fan
- 1 42w 6500k CFL
- 1 26w 6500k CFL
- Left over MG soil
- Schultz All Purpose Plant Food 10-15-10

I just cut a hole in the bottom of the box as an intake. Its a small box plus my pc fan is pretty fast but the downfall of that, is its loud.

I have it set up with the lights on to see what the temps will be when I wake up since its 4:30 in the morning.

And here are the two bag seeds I will be using for this grow. I forget what they are cause whenever I buy a bag I just throw all my seeds into one baggie. Should be a fun and interesting grow. Any advice is appreciated.

Stay High. :leaf:

Seeds, lights, ventilation, fertilizer and soil your good 2 go. You got everthing you need to start with, props man.
Just some quick advice. Try not to over water your plants and don't give them any fertilizer for the at least the first 3-4 weeks. And when you start giving them fertilizer, start by giving them about 1/4 strength and move up slight from there as they get bigger.
Good luck.

the mini grows I've done the plants tend to stretch and get really close to the light, I'd put something under them and slowly lower them as they come out to keep them ~1 inch from the light, that's what I do I have a 4 gallon rubbermaid that I have 6 cfl's in with cpu fans that I use to germinate seeds and it has about the same top clearance. The first batch I grew, mostly leftover attitude ufo's that I really wasn't planning on planting the stretching was ridiculous with cfls. I had to move them out. Next group I was starting some black domina, actually put rock wool pieces under it and lowered it as it got taller. It'll give you a lot more time in veg.

I just put 1 cfl above, 2-3 to the right. Then everyday I rotate the plant and mine has stayed small and stocky, I do have an autoflower though but I think the same general principles apply.
