I have a big rubbermaid-like container that I have planted 5 plants in. It is a 27 gallon container. Is 5 plants too much for this container? And what kind of effects would a cover (without fans inside the container) over it tightly locked would that make on my plants during a 12 hour period?
Whew, you really need to start at square one. Read the grow guides, sticky threads, links in my sig. One plant per container, plants need ventilation.
yes, 5 plants is way to many. You can grow 1 plant in that space with some serious LST. You need fans, bottom line.
