    Default Jealous's 156W CFL Rubbermaid Fem'd Bubblicious Grow

    What's up? It's been a long journey getting to this point but i'm finally here. I have 2 rubbermaid's stacked on-top of each other. The interior of them is spray-painted black, then spray-painted flat white on-top of that, then over all that I have emergency blankets ala Wal-mart plastered down with Elmers Spray On Adhesive. The 2 rubbermaid's are joined together with Liquid Nails, then over the seam (which I glued) I caulked them together with Silicone caulk to trap light and make a strong join. In the bottom 'maid I have a 4.5 in desk fan blowing in for intake that I caulked with the same silicone caulk. I originally had 2 DIY carbon filters with active carbon and pen holders like here The Best Diy Ez Walmart Carbon Filter for Micro Grows Zen Style but after monitoring temps over a 48 hour period, I wasn't getting enough heat exchange, so in the place of one of the carbon filters I now have a 120MM PC fan blowing out for exhaust, but temps still remain in the high 80's, I think i'm going to get another PC fan exhaust. People on the forums that have experience with rubbermaid's tell me I should be fine, but I'd like to bring the temp in there down some if I can. Over the intake fan I constructed a pretty shabby and cheap Light Trap box out of a old Addidas shoe box, I works pretty good, the only light leaks come from the duct tape holding it onto the box, lol, I should get around to putting some more duct tape over that. I also have major light leakage coming out of the top exhaust ports, but truth be told i'm not too worried, the box is in my bedroom closet and the only people ever in there are the ole ball and chain and myself(she hates it when I call her that . For lights i'm going with 6 26W 6500k CFLs for veg, and 6 26W 2700k CFL's for flower. I've got these in a power strip, I used 3 socket to plug adapters, then 3 Y-splitters. When I made the power strip fixture I noticed that the lights were on the verge of falling out so I used dental floss wrapped around everything to keep them secure, now that I think about it, zip tie's would've been easier. I ordered 5 Fem'd Bubblicious seeds on x-mas eve and they arrived in the mail like 4-5 days ago, pretty quick I think. I'm not going to go into where I got em or how they came, sorry but when I read about people going into great detail about that it bugs me. I know the cops already know what's up and all that, but still, why make it easier for them? I put them in wet napkins and then in a plastic baggy, I'd say they took EXACTLY 24 hours to crack and make nice lil 2MM taproots(I germed 3 seeds). I'm using 1 gal pots, and soil from the Florist here in town. I have Jacks AP, and Jacks Blossom for nutes, which I wont be using anytime soon Seeing as this is a Rubbermaid grow, I will be LSTing and Topping. That's all I can think of right now cause i'm drinking beers.

    Thanx dude, as soon as I get a chance I'll post more pics of interior and the lights, the ole ball and chain is about to use the comp for school, I'll have those up asap.

    Upadate: Still waiting on the seedling's to break out of the soil *cross's fingers* I planted them 24 hours ago, should be anytime soon.
