Trashcan secret closet grow

[tanman1990]

This is my second attempt at growing and it is going quite well. Once I get a second seed to germ I will have to plants growing. Everything in my setup except the seeds are from Walmart and was easy to make. I took a trashcan and wrapped it in black ducttape to block the light, and added a bottom fan to add cool air, and a top air purifier with charcoal filter to filter and remove hot air. there are currently 4 26 watt cfls, with a low light spectrum rating. They are daylight bulbs. The soil is MG moisture control.

The first plant is an unknown strain, but seems to be thriving in this environment.
Heres some pics of day 3 and the setup.

Thanks, I hope it stays that way. I will be going out of town for 4 days, but I plan to put an aqua globe in each planter. I welcome all comments and advice

I'm thinking that because the trashcan lid is shaped like one, I will put reflective tape on the inside of the lid. Any suggestions on the plant going without water for 4 days or using aquaglobes?

ye it will be ok just probly turn off 2-1 lights so it dosnt get to hot and use all the water up. just give it a water before u go but not to much if you know what i mean..

Ok, I will just give it 1.5 bottles of water instead of 1 per plant

Day 7, its looking good, hope it survives my trip. Just planted an AK seed a lil early that germed today.

So the 4 days I was gone, the xtra water and the aqua globes kept my plants alive, actually they seemed to thrive! Here are the day 11 pics of my first plant, tell me how it looks.

And heres what I estimate is day 2 of the Afgan kush seed I dropped in pot #2 before I left.

Wow, they really had a growth spurt. Bet you were surprised. Your walking to your plants with all these fucked up images of your plant looking like shit and behold beatiful plants.

Hopefully the kush does as good as your unknown strain.

exactly! I figured the mystery plant would be laying down about to die, and a lil crispy stick to be sticking out of the ak pot. Not a nice lil baby, and an orgasmic looking mystery plant. Thanks for hoping the best, I have my fingers crossed for some bomb ass weed.

Ya, gave them each 1/2 a litter each as soon as I got home

Did you give any thought to sticking with the aqua globes and watering schedule since they did so well with it?

I'm considering that. also I might switch to watering .5L every 2 days instead of .5 every 3. It seemed to do better with more water available more often.

 

[k-town]

If you can keep getting results like that 4 days you will have a monster on your hand!
