REZN'S First Grow Rubbermaid Style!

TLR said:

I might actually do the rubbermaid setup with ScroG, but I have some questions.

-How bad is the smell in the rubbermaid setup? Had to add any carbon filters?
-Does the top tub (with the lights) get super hot at all? I would be keeping it in my closet and I wouldn't want it to light shit on fire

Thanks, your grow looks tight, update!

-The smell is not bad yet that is at all but there is a pvc pipe for air to flow out and you may want to put a carbon scrubber on the end to kill any smell.

-It shouldnt get too hot, i had temps from 79-86 and they are doing very well. I am running 6-cfl's with no issues. Best thing to do is get a 35 gallon rubbermaid box to insure proper heat and grow issues. I have a 26 gallon for now.

-I keep a smoke alarm in my closet and dont really worry becouse the bulbs do not get that hot IMO...

Thanks for the responses!

What do you plan on doing when they get taller than the tubs themselves? LST?

Well at this point since flowering i took the lower tub and removed it, put a milk carton underneath the plants to sit on and hooked up 2 chains to the top of the upper half of the rubbermaid box wherre the lights are and just raise them as they grow, so far they love it. The CFL's are working lovely. All of the plants were topped before i put them into flowering. Here are some updated pics after about 3 1/2 weels of flowering... Enjoy... I will keep this journal updated best i can.

Have you been keeping them on 24hr light before you started to flower them? And are you using 4 day and 2 soft now? How long did you wait before you started to flower?
