30 Gallon Tote; Sannies Jackberry+Double Strawberry Diesel+random bagseed; CFL.

Hello everyone on RIU,
Thought i would share my adventure/experimentation with growing.

After a month of research and an unsuccessful attempt several years ago, i thought i would give it another go.
So with a small budget, small space and tight restrictions: I bring you my journal.








1 120mm fan that blow air up and out the back, with a passive inline duct that reach below my desk for cooler air (about 5 feet perpendicular to a window).
The light shown are 4 23W 6500K CFLs. I have 6 23W 2700K CFL for flowering.

Next, i need to germinate the seeds, and plant them.
The only thing stopping me at this point is whether to do a party cup 12/12 grow, or to cut holes the size of a 5 gallon bucket and place 2 5 gallon buckets below.

This in theory would allow for more root growth, a bigger plant, and more yeild.
If i were to go this route i would likely use the Topping/FIMming techniques as well as LST.

Or, i could do a 12/12 party cup grow, and experiment this way.
It all depends on my if i want to experiment with maximum yielding processes/techniques, or just growing techniques and experience.

What do you think?

you can start them in party cups and alwayz transplant to bigger pot. you shouldnt start off in such big pots cuz the plants will focus on producing roots alot more instead of foliage.
 
Ahh, thank you.
Here's another silly question, what if i were to use wide and shallow pots instead of narrow and high pots?
Other than that i should be germinating soon, pics to come.
