This is my second attempt at a journal, I was trying to do an AGvs Soil but had too many complications so I have retooled and I am starting all over, the 2 plants I had in the Ag died that is my second failed aero/hydro attempt, so I am thinking maybe water isnt for me I have successfully grown a plant in soil it turned out to be male, but I am more comfortable with it, so I am using a growbox I saw on here in the DIY forums here are the basics

2 rubbermaid bins ( had them left over from my failed bubler setup, I line them both with emergencey blankets which are super reflective, I then drilled 4 holes in the top, I have my lights suspended using wire for hanging pictures, makes it easier to adjust them and the stuff can hold up to 50lbs i think there are 6 bulbs total 4 26w warm and 2 26w day light, i had a heat problem the first day all of my pots were bone dry ant the outside of the tub was very warm to the touch, so I watered the pots again, i have a total of 6 small pots inside, and I cut a hole in the top tub and placed a fan to exhuast the heat from the lights, and i cut a hole in the side of the bottom tub t bring fresh air in, I am starting with 6 seeds all bag seed, 2 were germinating in my AG before I shut it down the others I used the old cup of water method, my camera sucks but I will take pics and please chime in often this is my 4 th grow attempt wish me luck

quick update, the 2 plants died, when I first put them in the grow box, I didnt have proper ventilation so it got too hot in there and they dried out, I removed them and put 2 new seeds in and rewatered the remaining pots, I have the ventilation working fine now, just waiting for some sprouts, before I ventilated it got pretty damn hot, would this have an effect on the seeds i planted, should I start over with new seeds??? anybody????

Quick updated the first sprout came up on sunday 3-1, the other seeds were dried out from my original heat problem so I planted some new seeds on 3-1 as it stands there are 9 pots I hoping to have 6 plants sprout I have 1 so far.............

Question, my pots seem to dry out wihtin 36 hours is it ok to water that often so the seeds dont dry out?
