Hey guys ,

Decided to use one my 30 gallon bow fish tanks to veg / flower some bag seed and HOPEFULLY some Mango seeds with CFL lighting. I have attempted something like this in the past with a Rubbermaid container but heat was a major issue so it didn't work out right before flowering. This time I have come up with a better container to use. I like how the glass keeps the temperature a lot cooler and the fact that I am able to open the top to let the hot air out. I plan on getting a fan to blow in there as well, just waiting to order it.

I want to use the LST method in these pots but I am unsure of the best way to do it.

I plan on getting rid of the florescent strip light I am currently using it and replacing it with 2 more of the 100 watt "equalivilent" soft white bulbs.

Below are some pictures of where I am at so far. I will keep updating this journal every few days with new pictures.

Any adivce on LST/Lighting for me?

Thanks - directional

I just buried the stems of the 2 pots. They are now sticking about 1cm-1inch out of the dirt. The two that are nice and firm I am leaving right now. I will take new pictures in the AM!

Can someone please give me some recommendations on lighting??? I am thinking of getting 2-4 metal clamp lights and putting in the 23 watt bulbs all around the specimen.

get some 42 watt cfls daylight ones ... i would get 6 of those and they would be pretty just like mine

I went out and purchased an Aerogarden and have transplanted these guys into that. Mods you can close this thread as I have started a new one in the proper location.

Ehh.. your babies look alright other than really tall and lanky bro. Give them some support. Some of them look like they decided to do LST on themselves so they would stop stretching so far. lol.
