How many lumens needed to fill a 5gal bucket?

  1. Hey guys, so I was trying to figure out how many lumens are needed for a 5gal bucket? I have a plant in a 5gal bucket and after I poured a few bottles of cal mag and fertilizer in, there doesn't look like much room for the lumens?

    Also, I'm growing with °C this time around because when I tried growing with °F, the plants didn't like it and I heard they evolved under Celsius temps, so if you're having issues try growing with Celsius as the plants like it more than Fahrenheit. I've heard growing with Kelvin temps is the best though.

  3. Well my light says its 650 lumens, I'm shooting for a couple lbs, that's why I went for the 100W equivalent. But how many lumens will actually fit in a 5gal? Should I get another bucket and tube it in? I've seen that before I think. My buddy says if I get enough light to fit in the bucket my roots will be nice and white.
     
  4. And he said to put bugs in there too, he said the good bugs will eat the bad bugs so just put as many bugs as I could find in there. I just bought a bag of grasshoppers (just a few hundred), from a local pet shop, I think by the morning I'll be pest free. Fingers crossed.

  6. Oh, and he gave me a pro tip (doesn't give these out often), if you're making sour diesel, make sure you pump from the green handle and not the black, unleaded just isn't as good, can use 91 in a pinch.

  7. Infinite poop. You sit on the toilet to poop, but the poop never stops coming out of your butt. You have to start flushing the toilet every two minutes to keep up. You try to pinch your butt closed but that makes your insides hurt. The poop accelerates. You call 911. The paramedics call for doctors. The doctors call for specialists. The story trends on Twitter. You turn down talk show appearances. Your septic tank fails. People form a cult. Your toilet is finished. Volunteers arrive with buckets and shovels. You are completely used to the smell. The poop accelerates. You are moved to a stepladder with a hole in the top step. The poop accelerates. The shovelers abandon the buckets and shovel directly out the window. The poop accelerates. A candlelight vigil forms around your house. One of the workers falls over and can't free himself. The poop accelerates. A priest knocks over the stepladder and tackles you out the window. You land in the pile. The poop accelerates. The force now propels you forward and upward. Vigil goers grab at your legs. The poop ignites from their candles. The Facebook live event hits 1 million viewers. The poop accelerates. You are 30 feet in the air. The fire engulfs the vigil and your house. 60 feet. The poop accelerates. The torrent underneath you is deafening. 5 million Facebook live viewers. You try to close up shop but your butthole disintegrated long ago. 120 feet up. Your house explodes. The poop accelerates. 1000 feet. You are now tracked on radar. You try to change your angle of ascent but you should have thought of that way earlier. The poop accelerates. 4,000 feet. NORAD upgrades to DEFCON 3. Concentric circles of fire engulf your city. The poop accelerates. You have broken the sound barrier. 30,000 feet. You no longer take in enough oxygen to sustain consciousness. 60,000 feet. CNN is reporting on all the world records you've broken. 200,000 feet. You are no longer alive. The poop accelerates. Your body disintegrates but your poop contrail remains. NASA can no longer track you. You break the light-speed barrier and we can no longer bear witness. The poop accelerates. Forever.

  8. Was looking to do a perpetual grow, something like a few dozen plants in my sock drawer. Can anyone give me advice on how many lux I need to flush with a SCROG screen? I heard pure water works great even for a few weeks after harvest.

  9. I dream of becoming a carrot. When I'm home alone I dig holes in the backyard and stand in them, put lettuce on top of my head from sun up to sun down. I would steal sun tan spray from stores and use it until I turned a bright orange. People tell me it's impossible for me to be a carrot but I know I can be anything I want to be.

    Trying to keep temp under 120°F, they say if you keep em under that, the plants last longer.

    EDIT:
    I mean 130°F, keep em under one hunnit n thirty five.

  20. tbh I would have took more but not too bad for a first go. See all those twiggy bits at the top right and bottom left, all would have got the chop in my jungle bro.
