Also, I haven't really looked at it carefully, but what's the most you think we can fit in here, planter size? Do you think we can fit 4 that are of sufficient size to go through flowering, or is that too much plant/pot (no pun intended) in this box? What would the ideal size pot be? I don't think four of the larger pot I have would fit and I think the smaller one is too small.

alright man, looking good!! well, most on here will help, but not all, LoL. i dont mind at all. i try not to tell people how to do stuff, just give out my ideas or links i have to cool stuff to help.
as far as number of plants, i would say 4 would be max, 3 is cool, and 2 are perfect. i was thinking 2 of these square kitty litter buckets when i get some good seeds. i think there like 4 gallons but being square, they make the most of the space. they fit real nice in the box.
also, if you dont have temp issues, the turkey pan hood might be a good idea for ya. i had it on mine but the the heat would build up more than i liked, just a thought.

another thing, if you tie the plants down, it hard with just 2 plants, really eats up space. i went wild with new bean when i grew her and she ended up taking up the whole box, i got like a little more than 2 oz's from her. here my next thing to try, 10 bulbs!! the fixture is rated for 300 watts of incandescent bulbs (3 - 100 watters) so it should work fine, plus put more light over the 2 plants. a couple more bulbs and 2 more Y's, LoL.
these boxes are great for this, they stay cool, they dont take up to much space and there cheap enough. im trying to figure a way to mount 2 of them together with 2 fixture for a super ghetto u-haul box. like cut most of the sides out on each box and tape them together with 2 doors, i do it one day, LoL.

thanks man, yes, that pic is of new bean, her name, LoL. just bag seed from around here. it was my first grow in the box. it was some real stoney shit. the second grow i got molly, a sativa strain and 2-1, but only 33 grams from both, which is still ok. and now these 2 girls are clones of molly, so its my 3rd grow with the box.
i know, with these boxes, you could build a whole grow city, clone box, veg box, mother box, flowering box, and a drying box, LoL. i saw ab unch of set ups on here and did some looking around and found this box, figured it would work and it did. went looking for a box behind stores but couldnt find any with recycling you know, so i bought one, and there you go, LoL.

I just spent a couple hours looking over these grows.
My second grow sprouted the other day, and I was going to forgo topping this time to get into the flowering stage sooner. But looking at your giant colas with Molly and New Bean and Venus and Raven there (those are four names I never thought I'd use in rapid succession), I realized what madness that would be! ^_^
I think topping and some LSTing like I saw in here should be just right for my grow. I topped my first grow and it worked great... the bitches went and grew balls on me and it was only after it was way too late that I noticed, but I still had multiple--albeit heavily seeded >_< (still quite potent smoke, though) colas.
Well, I look forward to seeing what your clones yield.

whats up evil, yeah i really like topping the plants, when i stsarted, i did some reseach and jumped right in to in and it worked great with new bean. so i did it with molly and 2-1, molly took, 2-1 didnt. i topped that plant 3 or 4 times and it just didnt work, LoL, see pics, all i got was the main cola and 2 nice chunk buds. while revegging the clones, i cut the main flower off each and this is what i got with venus and raven. venus has 1 big top and a bunch of lower shoots. raven has 4 main colas and a few lower shoots.
as far as the lst, on new bean i did it expecting the lower shoots to get big like the main colas, i didnt know, LoL. i didnt do it to molly and i was just trying to gain space on the clones. really just messing around with them to see what happens. also with molly, im sure its a sativa strain and i only let her go just under 7 weeks of flowering, not quite enough. i will let the clones go till the end of nov. and that will be about 10 weeks of flowering.
heres the girls at day 81, tomorrow will be 5 weeks of flowering, 5 more to go.

well its day 82 and 5 weeks of flowering, the buds look great but im still getting brown leaves, i have no idea what it is. although ive gotten them on all my grows, it just seems a little worse on this one. i dont know, they are still growing fine. im gonna mix up a new jug of nute and im gonna add a full scoop jacks bloom and the bat guano this time and see what happens. all i can do is try it, LoL.

Yea I had some leaves getting brown spots on the wonderwoman and wasn't really sure why.. I wouldn't stress it to much, my buddie is flowering a couple plants that have now dropped most of the fan leaves and its still pushing out white hairs lol.. They seem like they will grow through almost anything..

chances are if his fan leaves are yellowing necrotic ad die then most likely thats due to lack of nutes

Sounds like a good possibility, I was feeding them quite a bit of tiger bloom and big bloom but it seemed like it would have taken in more.. Thanks for the suggestion +Rep! Maybe feeding will Help CD like hes doing then..

hell, now i dont know if im over feeding or under, LoL. i keep reading about the lack of nitrogen while flowering with way the nutes cut that out or down alot. man im lost, LMAO. im just gonna let them finish out and hope for the best with what i have. im making this harder than it is.
