OK, so right now i have my 2 Durban poison sprouts under 2 23Watt Daylight CFL's.

But i have a small area (2' 4" L 1' 4 " W up to 6 feet H)
and i have a 18 gallon tupperware set up already for the bottom of the grow box and was thinking about getting plywood or something and building a box...

This is the stuff i have so far...just to start untill i get more money for the t-5 HO 110 W fluro fixture (pictured below)



but here's what i have to work with... In a shed










Two 23 Watt Daylight CFL's in a 10" hood...using for the clones and seedlings once i build my grow box around the bottom tupperware







My seeds im working with atm..



^^Durban Poison^^



^^KC33 X Master Kush^^

Any ideas/comments?

Im in a bit of a rush and will give more details later when i come back...

Thanks for your time!

You could just stick with a Rubbermaid grow this time round and build a box for next time and use it with the T-5 fixture..All you'd need would be another 18gallon tub and stack them top to bottom.

If you were going to do this I'd probably leave the reflector out, because it would reduce the overall height your plants can grow by too much.

Others on this forum have modified vanity light fixtures like this Amazon.com: Sea Gull Lighting Center Stage Four-Bulb Vanity, Brushed Stainless Finish #4738-98: Furniture & Decor

and mounted them on the top Rubbermaid container with excellent results.

Also, do those green pots have holes in them? It looks like they don't in the photos, if they don't you'll want to drill holes in the side at the bottom to allow for proper drainage.

Thanks for replying, those green pots DO have holes and a water tray, but im removing them, i think.

But i think i'll mount the t5 above into the shed.

i need to read up on cloning :)

What are you doing about the temps at night? Or are the temps consistent
enough. Do plan on doing this come winter?

I would try to grow six beautiful females with your setup and raise the overall light quality by one or two more lights. A simple square fan with a simple square filter should provide fresh clean air for them. You can secure these with bungee cords. Pretty inexpensive.

The grounded plug from the t-5 PLL works perfectly on the timer i have :)

can set it to go on multiple times during the day, 15 minute intervals and all this neat stuff


Timer seems to be pretty heavy duty too, 15 amps max load
