Action's 180w 12-12 From Seed RubberMaid

Sup.

Single 34 gallon rubber maid, dimensions are 2.5ft H, 1.2 L, 1.4 W. About 3.3 square feet? I dont really know.

6 in 125cfm axial fan exhaust top left side of the box (its vertically up) exhaust holes all along the bottom and a large cut from the bottom right of the box to drag cool air from below across the box to the fan.

Lighting: 125W CFL, one 2700k, one 6500k. Due to the limitations in the size of my box, i can only really use one at a time. Week 1 of veg/sprouting will get the 6500k, even though its going to be 13/11. Ive been thinking lately about slapping another surge protector in the box and hooking up the rest of the cfls i have (a 42, and 2 more 26s) but i dont want to push the temperatures out of control.

Nutrients/Medium: 100% coco. Rinsed 6-7 times until runnoff was clear, then "precharged" with distilled water and cal-mag (15 ml per gal). I'm also using botanicare grow and bloom, along with bud booster, later... been keeping it light on the nutes, i have a history with my heavy hand.

Started with 8-9 germed and planted on 10.13.11







week 2


week 3




tell me i at least have 2 females?

cant tell. better pics?EDIT: and it may be a bit early to show.

well if anyone else has any input, especially people who have grown 12 12 i'd appreciate it.

Also, i lost 6-7 seedlings, wtf? They sprouted grew 2-3 sets, then just started dying. Im pretty sure i didnt over water and i definitely didnt over nute. The humidity can sometimes be a bit low because the box is large and the fans are powerful, but i always use a dome until i think they are ready. Im all about "dat advice"

Week 4.
28 Days from seed
Got another 42 watt 2700 in there bringing this to : 125+ 42 + 26+ 26= 219 watts
Lots of new growth, roots have hit the bottoms of their new containerrrs wahhhhh

Picture time:

when the roots hit the bottom of their containers is it time to fruit?

looks great man. i'm sure you'll be happy with the results. one big piece of advice i could give is to use the absolute biggest pots you can fit in your space.
