TrashCan Grow Part2

Part one was in the DIY forum. See https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/184018-trashcan-grow.html I could no findout how to move it but CFL seemed the better spot.


My biggest change is the light tube. I took a glass tube added two CPFs and placed in center of grow. My plants look good on the tops and outsides but the middle had no buds. . Just 5 days with the tube in the middle the inside on the plants now have buds.


The glass tube needed a fan on top for cooling. I droped a 9v dc tranformer in the bottom and wired the lights in. The plants can just touch it with no problem.

The biggest problem is when I leave for a week and a top bud gets burnt by a light. I flood the can about an inch deep of water and they look good when I get home. I wired on light and it helps. I am going to try putting them in pickle jars.

Ha!

Thats cool. Right up next to the old Zenith console TV grow.

Dam weed grows everywhere, I wonder why some people have so much trouble.

where'd you find the glass tube?

and what kinda base does that giant CFL bulb go in?

Glass tube was $2 at a discount store, it is a pasta cooker.

the lights are just the standard sockets / The tube has 2 small lights in it.

wow thats pretty cool!

dude,

Love the garbage can. I almost went this route myself. I essentially made a garbage can out of flashing and duct tape, gave me some extra height. Maybe we should create a sub-forum, sheet metal growers(ha ha).

The girls are almost there.

Thanks for all the help the information here is great.
this bud it hard and just fits in my hand, holly shit I want to oick it now! Should I wait a little longer ?


first indoor grow that worked. I picked a bud and dried it just for two days and it still did the job very good.

what do you think ?
