stealth 12/12 from seed LST

I have been researching growing in a stealth rubbermaid tub. If growing the seed from 12/12, and performing the LST technique, how tall will the plant most likely get? Also, how long do you suppose it will take to harvest?

I will begin making the container tomorrow and this even have got 5 seeds germinating in a wet paper towel. I am hoping to grow all 5 out in 12/12 until sex is determined. Then I will take two females and repot in either 6-8 inch pots. These ladies will be grown 12/12 and using the LST method. I am aiming for quality over quantity because I already know that I will only be getting 1/2 oz off of each plant.

They will grow over a foot. 1ft - 2ft with 12/12 from seed to flower or should. I would give them a week of veg though on 18/6 then 12/12 just for them to get a bit of height. If you 12/12 from seed to flower all you need is a 16 oz solo cup for them to grow in. Ive done this.

alright, 4/5 have broken the surface of the soil. they will stay under constant light until tomorrow night (hopefully the 5th seed will have broken the soil by then) when I will submit them to the first darkness of 12/12. from there on it will be flowering lighting. my box isn't completely made yet, but it will be finished by monday evening.
 
im doin 12/12 from seed and i only have like 2 feet of growing height not including lights and pots ...and im doin severe lst and i have plenty of room there like in the 3rd week of budding

thanks for that reply! this gives me a little more confidence that I can make it work!

so the seeds sprouted this past weekend and 4/5 actually sprouted.
unfortunately, one grew into a light and...you know what happened.
I am down to 3 plants.
Last night was the first night of 12/12.

I have only halfway built the box... for now, its just upside down, sitting on the floor with the plants under it. I hopefully will build more by the end of the week but it may not be until next week. it's not too big of a deal right now since I can grow all 3 under 2 cfl's so no heat, and no smell yet either.

does the box have any airflow? you would be suprised at how much heat cfls put out, 2 in my box has gotten to like 119 before without the fans working.

the plants are doing fine. I don't think it's getting above 80 maybe 85 in the box right now so until I have to add more lights I wont be putting in a fan. I'm pretty sure it will be next week before I finish even building the box. I'm putting it off because I'm not looking forward to all the electrical work it will take. My plan is to cut probably a 2''/4'' piece of wood to a length that nicely fits inside the box. I want to mount 4 light sockets (idk what these are really called) spaced out along the wood. I already have the adapter outlets that have two plugs for CFL's. the line will be on each end of the wood through eye hook at top and tied off on the side. this way, I can adjust lighting hight from side to side. I hope this makes sense and that I can get some good feedback.
