actually you can open up the cab from the top of the bottom box as well to reach the plants, the top of the bottom box was cut out and taped to the other one... so the lip still works perfectly

Hmm, thats a pretty awesome idea. Nice work! Some pictures soon?

Duece.

i'm tuning into this!
i'm in the midst of something similar except lowryders inside one rubbermaid so far it's going good
keep up the good work and good luck
oh, and keep us posted with pics :]

you gotta put a primer down first so it stops absorbing paint and also helps it from chipping

peace

oh and for anyone else trying this my biggest tip is

DO NOT EVER PAINT THE INSIDE OF A RUBBERMAID CONTAINER

to save time i first painted the containers white (yes i used plastic paint)... then after a few days all the pain started to sink into the plastic... so i had to give it a second coat... the smell alone delayed the grow (i was going to start 2 weeks ago) but i wouldn't put the plants in there

also before you tape anything to it you have to chip off the pain first cause the tape peels right off of it... its been the biggest headache making this ever

im hoping to get a few good grows without having to alter or redo anything for the box so im trying to do it right

if ur making a lowryder white widow hybrid its the male lr u need,collect the pollen and save it heres a little tip to help u out

1 pollinate a litte bud on the widow
2 grow the seeds and eliminate the males and pollinate the f1 cross with lr pollen
3 same process as above
4 grow some white ryder

u got to crossback pollination to ensure an autoflowering strain.

but u could get auto white russian(auto ak47xwhite widow) thc content of 22%

Hey everyone

its been a while since i've updated, had unexpected guests for the week and threw some parties so i really didn't get to finish the cab as much as I wanted. The grow is starting this sunday and im pretty happy just finishing up the last things today.

I got organic soil today for herbs, peat moss, perilite and something else which i can't spell but I'm using... I'll put down my soil mixture when I finally get it all put together and take pictures of it all. I've also picked up some nutes, they are budget ghetto but my buddy uses them so it should work out, 10-20-10 or 15-30-15 i can't really remember haha. I don't need veg nutes because im not vegging.

i'll try and update the journal every 2 days from this point and I think ill update with this info -

Day:
Lights:
Strain: Plant 1 - ; Plant 2 - ; Plant 3 -
Temperature:
Humidity:
Watered:
Nutraints:
Inside Smell:
Outside Smell:
Other:

Thats more then enough info for what i'm about to do.

I just so everyone stops wondering i'm not crossing anything lol. I really don't know where that came from. I have very little interest in making crosses and the plan is to put in white widow for all 3 plants when i start growing. And when I find males im replacing them with LR2's just so they finish at around the same time.

If anyone has any requests to add to posted info or anything lemme know. Also expect a bunch of pictures for this grow after this point.

yaaaay!!!

I've been thinking about doing some LR2's recently. and I use cfl's too.

Sounds like an awesome plan, just ordered some LR2 seeds today.

Duece.

Hey everyone

Thanks for sticking with me, after a long week of preping the box and getting everything together, tonight i germinate my seeds

I think im going to throw 4 of the white widows into some paper towel between 2 plates and throw them on top of my computer, first 3 to pop im going to throw into the cab... when i do it ill grab some pictures

i was worried about the temperature so i built a quick AC duct for the box... its a 2 liter pop bottle that has holes on each end... theres a fan at one side which blows through the container

in the middle im going to put frozen water bottles... so the air blows over the bottle and into the cab... i tested it and it works for about 4-6 hours with cooling

im not planing on worrying about always putting in frozen bottles... with the lights only on for 12 hours it will be easy to chuck one in there now and then, ill grab pictures of that with the germination

later

Cool lookin forward to it

cant wait....your always creating somthing and inventing ways to do things...i love the originality

Haha nice AC unit, very creative. I wonder how dry ice would do... hmm

Duece.

I'm definitely going to have to use that frozen bottle trick to keep temps down. I wonder how long it would take to freeze a 5 gallon bucket of water?

Hey everyone here are some pics of the seeds

3 on the left are white widow, 2 on the right are LR2's... first 3 to pop are the winners haha

going to spend the rest of the night light proofing and such

Just to note, i know one of the ones on the right is busted, i was wondering if it was going tog row but i doubt it

yeah that one looks busted. it probably wont germ.

I tried a busted seed recently just to see if it even would. I also threw in one of those seeds that still greenish and not quite brown. Both of them didn't germinate.
