Hi all - I've got a small grow box - 1 x 2 x 2ft I built a few years back fitted with 2 - 23w cfl. It's got a PC fan venting through an integral carbon filter with lightproof passive intakes.
I grew out 4 of my usual grapefruit hashplant clones in a 6qt rubbermaid type storage box (w/ added drainage holes). Flowered for 10 weeks in miracle grow potting soil + some perlite, some garden compost and a tablespoon of Bat guano. I fed them 2-3 times with fish/kelp emulsion, and one dose of 1/2 strength miracle grow bloom booster. Plain water with molassas for the last 2 weeks or so. I LST the hell out of them, some bent nearly to the rim of the pot. Some buds are within 1 inch of the bulbs - they of course grew the largest and densest - as dense as my HPS grow.
This is about as simple basic vanilla as it gets - without anything fancy, here's what you can get...

They'll work for flowering but I wouldn't recommend them for veg. Just pick those bitches up at Walmart! They are like 3 for $5. That's where I got mine.

.943g/w - Very impressive. Goes to show everyone what is achievable with inexpensive technology/nutrients.
