2.)What do I do once the plants become tall and get near the CFLS?Trim them or move them to bigger grow chamber?
3.)I am looking for good yields and I am going to try and grow 2 plants.Someone who has used this deisgn:what are was your yields?
BTW this is non Hydro,while I am growing these I will hopefuly build a grow cabinet to sprout seedlings at the top and grow 6-8 plants at the bottom.I might go with hydro hadn't decieded!
Also I am planning on growing White Widow feminsed first then mabye try white i.c.e and Blueberry.

I am in the process of doing a rubbermaid grow right now. I am ending my third week of flowering. I would go with more than 2 cfl's. I have three plants with 4 42 watt soft white cfl's and 2 23 watt daylight cfl's. I started lst'ing my plants during veg. to keep them short and that has worked out great! For pics check out my grow log in my signature. I can't comment on yields yet but I know by lst'ing them I have lots of bud sites exposed to the light an expect a decent yield for a first grow. I would also recommend using white Krylon Fusion spray paint instead of foil. Its easier to deal with and won't create hot spots. It is made for plastic and works great! Hope this helps. Good luck with your grow.
