Im planning on starting my first grow soon, its gonna be a soil, scrog grow, with 3 plants under 6 26w CFL's (ill be adding more lights during flowering).
how do u guys think this will do?
Is Scrog even feasible with CFL's?
im growing in a rubbermaid tub, in 3 sepperate pots. Im hanging the light fixture on the clothesrack in my closet, and im gonna suspend the screen on posts(possibly coming up with a better rig in the future) above the tub, im hoping im gonna have enought space and enough lights, but other than that, i feel pretty confident.
ill post pics as things start to come together...when i get my tax return :/

nobody?
also, ive come up with a new solution for my screen dilema
im putting the pots directly into the rubbermaid tub intstead of growing out of the lid like most of the rubbermaid scrog grows ive seen (i seem to be the only soil grower reprezentin rubbermaid lol)
...anyways, to the point, this puts my ideal screen height at the top of the tub if i put them on the bottom, this sounds great right, i can install the screen right over the top of the tub...then i realized, if i oput the screen over the top, i have no way of getting to my babies.
i was going to remedy this by raising the pots up and installing the screen above the tub with posts, but now i have decided to put the plants on the bottom, and simply cut "windows" in all sides of the tub, spanning the entire width and going about halfway down.
this way i can put the screen right on the top, and ill be able to acess my girls with ease.
long, pointless post, but i wanted to explain that to someone, no of my friends will listen lol.

hey tib i also am growin in a rubber maid bro lol i have looked at the scrog tech also and the way i came up with is to use pvc pipe to make a rack to hold the screen and as long as you know there females all you will need is a 1 gallon milk jug with some tubbing added to the top to reach the pots for watering hope this helps as i am planning on using a cabinet once i get it all put together im just exploring the rubbermaid idea for something to fuck with lol. but i do believe that if a person was dedicated enough they could get a decent yeild out of a rubbermaid
