i have just planted one feminized white widow in a jiffy cup and was wonderin if you think the jiffy cup would fit in a pringles tube then i cud put the bulb throught the top and paint inside the tube white.

do you think this would be usable till the plant is a bit bigger at least.

thanks.

here is the tube i had the idea about.

dude great idea....you dont even have to paint it..its silver inside...just wipe it down good with wet paper towel.....i think it might stretch alittle a first cuz the light would be far away....put something to fill the tube half way then put the pellet in...take some pics i wanna see it work.....

the tube idea is sound, that's what i've been growing in for the last 2 months
i did a full size tube, 38 x 15 inches, and it's giving very good results
cardboard would work, but i'd be wary of a fire hazard, you could make a tube of your own from other materials
i used aluminum flashing, pre-painted white on one side, got it at home depot
here's a link to my grow log if interested

yea man, thats an awsome idea, i'm going to have to steal it for my clones :D

a 40W CFL at like 6400k would be PERFECT man, awsome. +rep :)

a few ideas for some small tubes that would be cheap
tennis ball can - about the same size as a pringles can - but made of metal
some empty vegetable cans or similar - cut out the bottoms and stack - join together with a bit of tape

sounds like a dumb idea to put the bulb in there. even though its a cfl, your plant will cook in there.

you do need vent - as long as you pull the air through fast enough, you'll be good
closed up tight it would cook - a larger chamber will do the same thing without venting
