  1. Hello my fellow blades, I want to start with explaining all that went on in this project. This is a Rubbermaid CFL organic grow on he cheep. Very cheap lol. Lets get started, at the time I was in a temporary location which I didn't know in till have way through. See I just moved out of my parents house over a huge fight we had moved 1500 miles away to Florida with a friend. Well I was pretty down and out working at subway during the day and pizza hut at night coming home looking at my plants and sleep I didn't know anyone yet. I spent maybe 15 minutes a day with them it killed me to I loved them so much. Here's the tragic part after all my work and money put into this project I was forced to move 4 weeks into flowering, and was unable to finish them...but I did learn a lot and this is my first opportunity to share there short life with the blades of grasscity. So here's the specs of the grow, and at first you will read this and think no way but when you see the pictures you shall be surprised I am sure...
    Lighting: CFL 26W X 4 = 104W Total 6500K during veggie Light cycle 24/0
    CFL 42W X 3 = 126W Total 2700K during flowering Light cycle 12/12
    Soil: Organic Choice
    Bag Seed
    4 Plants
    Grow box: I am sorry to say I have no actual pictures of the grow box :( but here is what it was:
    I had 2 32 gallon Rubbermaids stacked with the lids caulked and screwed together airtight. That way I could lift the top one up and the bottom would stay and it would be easy. Anyways I had a 240mm computer fan as intake and I had a 500 rps fan for exhaust that lead out to an homemade activated carbon filter. Now I wish I had pictures of the wire box I made I had all the wires going into this little box I made on the time that was sealed both ways the box was completely airtight I could smell the babes will I opened it, it was amazing. Anyways I am sure you blades are ready to see the plants.
    I will put 5 pictures in all each post please ask any questions you like any ideas for next time welcome!:wave:
