New Grow NEED HELP !!!

[Hydroyoda]

started 12 bagseeds...all but 4 have popped through. I'm wanting to grow a couple of females,ScrOG style, with topping and training. My set up is 2, 150 watt CFL's with desk fan blowing down on plants. Plan to add 2nd fan on Tuesday. Temp varies from 75 to 90 with lid cracked. Need some feedback on how to weed out males early and make the most out of my set up.

whats the Grow area size?

 

[4u2sm0ke]

what lid cracked?

 

[Hydroyoda]

its a rubbermaid tub

 

[lowrydergrower775]

i think your setup will get really hot with two 150 watt cfl in a tub

 

[Hydroyoda]

lol I know that is what I thought but I'm hoping to get a computer fan put in there I keep it at 75-90 with lid cracked if i put a cup of ice in there it gos to 77 so I think if I open it up get more air out and in it will do much better heat wise so you think i could get a few girls in there

Having one plant per pot, makes it real easy to weed out the males when they show. Keep an eye on the top growing tip, as this is where sex shows first.

I'm not sure the size of your tub, but you're going to want to tie them down from the beginning, and develop some sort of 'shape' for the plant, that will fit under your lights, and inside the tub. Plants also grow in flowering, so think ahead and leave extra room for that.

goodluck

is it possible to get rid of the rubbermaid tub and just have them in a box or closet

 

[Hydroyoda]

when should i tie them down

 

[Hydroyoda]

not really i live in a apatment kinda want it low key

 

[lowrydergrower775]

id tie them down quick maybe fifth or sixth node i think it is going to be kinda difficult to keep them that low especially when flowering hits but i suppose you could make it work

 

[King Bud]

there's low key.. and then there's "growing-inside-a-tub" ghetto.. :laugh:
have you seen what some people have done to their closets? you could have it air filtered and whatnot.

 

[Hydroyoda]

I cant really have in in the open like that just want to have 1 or 2 females in the tube to grow that is real low key keep them really short

 

[Hydroyoda]

should I top them and tie down and scrog all at same time

 

[Hydroyoda]

its just the apartment thing I would have a hole closet its just dont feel so safe

Hello Hydro...may i sugest two rubbermaid containers?..I read it in DIY but never seen one completed..Flip one on top of other 3 150 watt cfl..2 computer fans in/out air....mylar inside of rubbermaid contain...I may build one my self 4fun

 

[Hydroyoda]

it looks to up front i can put a lid on this put **** on it if people came from aprtment and its not a big deal just woundering how many you think i could grow in that tub

 

[King Bud]

I've grown in a rubber maid tub before, so it's not impossible. It's a pain in the arse to mount the lights, and computer fans, especially if you don't want to drill any holes, to keep the tub looking normal.

I'm not sure if it's better to top or not, I've never really played with that, but you're definitely going to have to tie the ladies down. Maybe start by tying the plant down, shaping it around the contour of your pot, as it grows. The key to LST is to be gentle, and go slow (develop the shape slowly, AS it grows).

I have never flowered in a tub, but it's possible, just have to have enough grow room. How big is your tub anyways?

I can forsee you having problems with smell.. Unless you have some type of air-cleaning device, or home-made carbon filter, your tub is going to stink up your place (and your clothes, if it's in the closet), when it's put into flowering. It may not be as obvious to you though, because you'll be living with the stinky thing, and your nostrils will 'ignore' the smell after a while.

What kind of people go through your closet, when they're over, anyways?

IMO you can prolly do up to 4-6 max in there at a time. this is all in one gallon potters one plant per pot. go with the LST once the plant is sturdy enough to train about 3 weeks in should do. There is a good thread on how to stack a couple of these type containers in the DIY part of the forum as 4u2smoke had said, i cant seem to find one of them now so im on the mission to find it.
