High Everyone this will be a simple low budget grow! This isn't my first time. I am starting with 6-7 seeds from my private collection. Started them yesterday they will be ready in another day. I hope to get 4 or 5 females! I'm either going to use my 10 gallon rubbermaid tub or 18 gallon one for my container. Seedlings are going to be in plastic cups for first two weeks. I think 6 plants in the 18 gallon container will be good i will use a black trash bag to line the tub and use cardboard to make 6 separate chambers then fill with dirt when ready to transplant.
Seedlings will be under 2 tube fluro's one red one blue both 20w each
after one week i will add the 65w CFL with 7,000 lumens. I plan on flower quick so in 3 1/2 weeks i will flower. I will add more CFL's during flowering. For now thats all i have. Also will be ordering some Age Old organic bloom nutes. I am using cheap soil Expert Gardener potting soil 2cu ft bag. Pics will be up as soon as seedlings sprout and everything is setup.

-What are your opinions on using a big tub and making separate chambers for each plant so in case of males i just take them out and more dirt for the girls! Also do to this must know what your doing to not overwater since theres no drainage! I have done this before with two plants 1-g-13 1- blueberry in my 10gallon tub lil over 4gallons for each plant worked great. This time will consist of more plants with a lil less space.

-Also what about flowering that early?

if 1 of your plants has any develops a problem it may be an issue to start mixing contaminated soil. i would pick up some small grow bags or seperate pots. i also dont know how well cardboards gonna go in that enviornment...sounds like an invitation for mold. you can throw them into 12/12 whenever you want it just may be a few days before you notice any changes. they won't actually begin to flower until they reach sexual maturity. some people go 12/12 from seed.

well i have 5 planted and 2 more that i will start.
thanks for the reply! I am going to try and get 6 seperate pots atleast 2-3 gallons maybe grow bags. When i did that before with the cardboard it was to seperate two plants in 8 gallons of dirt. With this many plants i want to keep them seperated. Especially with the soil i'm using and flowering early thanks!

Well 4 out of 6 sprouted today!
I'll try and put pics up later tonight!
Windows Vista sucks lol can't take pics with my webcam so i'll have to download a program for that.

Smell won't be a factor untill flowering!
Most likely i will make a simple activated carbon filter!
A friend of mine has one he made i could use also!
For now smell isn't a problem!
