@W4V: No I don't think that's how you wrote it... I overuse punctuation when I type. Since you said something I might fix it up a bit, make it true to form and whatnot. @Doc: The 2700k's are 26w, not sure about the 6500k's (I still don't have any of them yet). I think they're 40w though...

:P Yeah I needed to update it, and yours was the first quote that came to mind lol

Well, I think I've come up with a solution to my light leakage problem... Trash bags taped to the inside of the bins, with the maylar taped to the bags. It was a bit hard to do because the maylar got a little bit torn up when I took it out, but it should still work just fine. I'm still only...

Haha... that's the journal that inspired me to do this thing in the first place! :P I modeled my plan after that one.

Great news! I managed to find 2 rubbermaid tubs, that shouldn't be missed TOO badly... they're different sizes but they should work just fine. I've already started building my box... Unfortunately I forgot to lightproof the tubs before I made the maylar liners, so I've got MAJOR light leakage...

Okay, so here's a pre-op breakdown of my supplies and what they cost: $0 - Boxes $0 - Light socket from old lamp $0 - (3) light sockets from old lamp $11.65 - (2) 2700k Soft White CFL's $11.65 - (2) 6500k Daylight CFL's $0 - Miracle Grow potting soil, 'borrowed' from the garden shed $0 - (4) 12"...

I've officially started my grow journal! Check it out. From now on, I think all my new posts pertaining to this grow op will be in there.

Hey, guys! Welcome to my grow. I'm a novice grower, so bear with me... I'd love any input you'd like to give. I'm doing this in limited space, on a VERY limited budget, for personal use. I've also got to keep it covert to the most extreme level imaginable. This is gonna be an interesting...

Haha that makes three of us. I'm about to start growing my first real batch, as well. I'll be using a 4-CFL setup inside a 2'x3'x4' box in my closet. I'm gonna have a hell of a time keeping the smell down lol And I as for budget? I'm shooting for under $30. So far, I haven't spent one cent...

yeah I think that's what I'm going to end up doing.

Well, I got my closet *mostly* cleaned out... so I officially have about 2' x 3' x 4' (24 cubic ft.) to work with. Thank god I decided to LST... I've only got enough floor space to grow 4 plants, maybe a couple more if they're small (I hope they're not). When I went to start building my box, I...

god... I hope my grow goes even remotely as well as yours has... can't wait to see how much you yield. I hope all the rest of yours turn out to be females :D g/l

I checked my local hardware, and all they carry in stock are 2700k and 4100k, no 65's. They DID turn out to be about $5 per bulb, though... I was surprised about that, I expected them to be about $8 per bulb (Inflation in this town is rediculous, that's why I hadn't checked yet). So, for now...

Well I managed to get some activated carbon yesterday, a big huge container of it, for absolutely no cost to myself.... Gotta love family :P So now it looks like all I need are those lightbulbs.... I found a great deal, all 4 of them for only $26 plus S&H. I'll be ordering them as soon as my...

Yeah that's an understatement. I suppose I'll probably HAVE to go over the $30 mark, in the end... But like I said before, I need to do this on the cheap. No splurging where I can avoid it.

yeah, I might consider that for one of my next grow ops... right now that's a little bit out of my price range. I'm gonna have a hard enough time as is, just finding the right bulbs+being able to afford them... lol

Indeed. The law is wrong about a lot of things. I'm not sure who, but it has been said 'No law that is wrong can ever be enforced, because the citizens as a whole will always constitute a bigger fighting force than anything the government could ever hope to muster'. So, I say, Grab your bong...

No, not hydro... just a regular grow. The tubing is just so I can water the plants evenly, without having to take the lid off every single time.

okay. So, here's my revised list of materials: -2 Rubbermaid tubs -pots and soil -2 27k 400w CFLs -2 65k 400w CFLs -4 light sockets -15sq ft. Maylar -6in. Fan -10ft. 1"diam. rubber tubing -2 activated carbon filters -duct tape -spray paint (black/white) -wire/string/ties Will that do the trick?

okay, great! Now that I actually know a little bit about lights, this thing is gonna be a whole lot easier.... although I've still got to buy some lightsockets. Or... well now that I think about it... I don't think anyone will miss that lamp... and I've got another one somewhere... That gives...
