Rubbermaid CFL Growbox

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by killatronics, Aug 13, 2009.

  1. I am growing 3 plants that I have trained in a growbox made out of 2 large rubbermaids. I put 2 case fans in the sides for a little ventilation. I don't have the boxes anymore but I think the bigger light bulbs are 42 watts and the others are like 27. The soil is miracle grow, and I have given them 2 watering cycles of miracle grow bloom booster. Should I give them any more? The last watering I didn't add any nutes.

    The middle plant is from some straight kill we had a while back. I think the leaves are curling from the light being too close, but I'm not sure, if anyone has a suggestion. I am thinking it might have 2-3 weeks left. The right and left ones are the same age, the right one has just grown very slow. I also have a plant and 2 seedlings outside, but I won't check on them until I need to sex, the 2 seedlings probably wont make it they were really young when I put them out. I will take pics of them the next time I'm out there.

    Tell me what you think. Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    miracle grow isnt the best
     
  3. damn i didnt reallly look at the pictures much ..they are flowering already? they look good man
     
  4. Looking nice man. PLants are looking good. Miracle grow in't a first choice but whatever works. I got a rubbermaid grow going on rite now too. You may want to look into buying a survival blanket (5$) to line the rubbermaid. You're losing a lot of lite that could be reflected back with Mylar.
    Best of Luck!

  5. The outdoor plant turned out to be female! I haven't had a single male. Here are some pics of the outdoor plant. It's just beginning to make bud. Sorry for the image quality on a few, I didn't catch it when I was taking the pics.

    The best indoor plant might only have a week left, 2 tops..

    I will continue to post updates
     
  6. loos good man how you keeping that box cooled down?
     
  7. Miracle grow works excellent, in my opinion I use a small recipe that involves miracle grow. Here it is.

    50% Miracle Grow
    20% Bat Guano - High Phosphate Fertilizer
    10% Organic Seafood Fertilizer
    10% Perlite - added to your potting soil
    05% Sand (optional)
    05% Organic Mix - roots, bark, etc.
     
  8. I have 2 case fans from a computer that I wired to 9v adaptors, one intake at the bottom and one exhaust at the top. They are moving some air, but I know that its been hot out there. The plants have done fine though..
