This is my first grow using 30gal rubbermaid tubs and cfl lights. I plan on adding more lights soon. I am using bagseeds from a good bag. Any tips or comments are greatly appreciated.

Front View. The outside is painted black to block light.


Back View. This shows the hood and passive intake.


Close up of the hood I made to go over the 120mm computer fan that is mounted on the inside. This helps block a lot of light


Inside of the top. There are 4 40watt(200watt equivalent) 2600 lumen soft white cfl bulbs. The computer fan blows out and the other fan blows across the lights. The inside of the tubs are painted white for reflection.




Everything is wired on the inside with only one wire coming out of the box. All opening are at the back of the box for stealth reasons.


This is the bottom half with the girls in it. These seeds were germinated 4 days ago and put in the dirt 2 days ago.


Close ups of the girls.

Good start, keep us posted as they get bigger!!!

Nice setup man. Have you tested the humidity and temperature levels yet?

nice tote looks just like mine. no i dont have problems with the temp. i moved my dresser over so that the tote would be directly underneath the air vent, plus my fan is on top sucking in the cold air . but befor i moved the tote it was in the high 80's.
Built me rubbermaid tote

That looks great, but what happens when they get bigger? Spacers to stretch the box up? I may have to make one of those!

The temp is staying in the high 80's and the humidity is in the high 20's. I am trying different methods to lower the temp and raise the humidity but nothing is working so far. Any ideas??

I am going to try lst'ing them to keep them short and I will be flowering them soon so they don't get too big. This is my first grow so I am not sure what kind of space problems I will be running into but I will give it my best shot to keep them small.

Here is a little update on the girls. They are growing growing fast and looking great! I have also added two 23watt(100 watt eq.) daylight cfl's and an extra passive intake to help with the high temp.

Here is the pic of the lights. The two middle lights are the new ones. You can see the color difference.


Here is the new passive intake from the outside and the inside.



Here are the girls. They are 6 days old.
