    So this is actually my third grow, my first two (both bagseed) failed miserably due to heat in my box, but I've fixed the issue and this time it's going wonderfully! My setup is a Rubbermaid tote with the inside wrapped in foil tape, I have three power strips zip tied around the top of the box with 3 21w 6500k CFLs and 2 2700k CFLs. A 120mm computer fan is used for exhaust with a 2 inch passive intake with a PVC light cover. I plan to get another tote, cut the top off its lid, and have the two stacked with a scrog screen between them. I'm also going to aggressively LST. I'm growing from clone (unsure of the strain), I have three right now but plan on only keeping two (maybe even one as space permits). Transplanted into MG Seed Starter and feeding with the FF trio. Here's some pics my my setup and babies :)

    Thanks! I'm really proud of it so far. I'm currently in my senior year of college getting a degree in horticulture so I'm kind of gauging my education of this grow haha. It's day 19 from transplant.
     
  4. Very nice, subed for updates
     
  5. Alright I just topped all three of my girls. I'm planning to wait about 3-5 days and then cull the weakest performer, move the top two into larger diameter pots and begin to LST. Here's some post-cut pics, expect more as branches sprout from the wounds (which happens because auxin, the plant hormone that causes apical dominance (vertical growth) is mainly produced in plants' terminal (top) bud and removing this bud removes the source of auxin....in case any of you were wondering).
