Hey,

So Im nearing the flowering stage for my indoor grow. Today is day 40 and still just waiting on the preflowers before I start 12/12. And I need to be ready.

Im growing steathaly in a custom-built aquarium cabinet with less than 5 cubic feet and have 3 plants going strong. They are currently all in individual terracotta pots and once I have the sexes 100% determined I am planning on doing a final re-pot into a single, custom-built, water-tight container that fits the base-interior of this aquarium stand so they can get the maximum soil-space.

Of course Im praying they will all be girls but even if I just get one female Ill still be able to fill the entire space with buds (SCROG), it will just take more veging time.

So my question for you all is...do any of you have any idea of a material I can use to construct this container? Construction itself is not a problem, Ive got that all figured out, right now it's just WTF do I make this damn thing out of?

I of course want something opaque so the roots stay in the dark.

I would prefer something fairly thin (no thicker than 1/8") so it's easy to work with.

Some ideas Ive had were to cut-up an old trash can or large plastic storage box.

But before I go lurking around the neighborhood at midnight stealing trashcans I thought Id check with you all first and see if you had any better ideas

Here's a rough sketch with dimentions so you all can get an idea of what Im thinking about here. Thanks.

Peace.

steal trash cans? are you kidding me? What are you like 12? You cant buy a 5.00 trash can? Doesnt your mommy and daddy give you an allowance? If I caught you stealing my trash can I would put you in it.

I guess you couldnt figure out that I was kidding about stealing them. But thanks for being a wise-ass, hope that's some good bud you're smoking.

I guess I did go a "little" overboard with my reply looking back now.... But I still think you were dead serious about the trash cans.

Dont worry about it. I know sarcasm is near-impossible to pick-up in writing. But think about it...if anyone would actually use another person's nasty-ass trash can for something like this they've got bigger problems than kleptomania.

lol so true.. Thats so weird, I just posted the SAME thing in another thread about humor being hard to pick up on message boards.. I said a while back that we shold have a sarcasm tag lol.. You know.. Like [sarcasm] [/sarcasm].. lol

good luck with all your future endeavours.

I'm not sure that I really understand what you're trying to do with the container you have pic'd...if its for growing, its def too shallow only showing 6" total depth...you need at least 12 inches...
You're much better off doing a DIY DWC bubbler...perfect for small spaces and better than soil

That's not a bad idea. In the meantime, smilies and italics can help note sarcasm if they're used right...like...

George W Bush was such a great president

No need for a sarcasm tag there! haha.

Yeah, 12" would be great if I had the height. My cabinet is less than 3' tall so a pot more than a 3rd the height would be rather ludicrous. I was able to find a material to use and once the pot's done Ill make a seperate thread in the DIY forum to show how I made it.

I was able to get 2 extra inches of height from the material I found so it's now 8" tall. I calculated it and that gives me almost 7 gallons of space for soil. I may look into aeroponics later. I'll still be able to get some decent bud from this grow.

Thanks for the tips, and for the well-wishes, OldSchoolDJ. Glad there's no hard feelings

Peace.

if your looking for cheap, and disposable, i got one for you... when i was growing up in the sticks, and we grew plants on our deck with no pots / planters. we simply cut an X on the side of a bag of soil, and let it grow out of the bag.... surly you could do the same with doubled or tripled black trash bags with your own soil mix.

ye a grow bag would be good frame it with some wood and out an extra layer bag to stop water leakage at the bottom and slighty elevate the bag the plant is in.
