well I'm not sure on the space that the Rubbermaid will allow me to have when i put them 2geather but prolly I'm hoping at least 2ft in height i hope and i was gonna do like the 3 daylights with 1 warm or 2 warm because i heard that the plants love the mixture not sure though i will read up on it more at length maybe 3feet not to sure i'll get dementions soon..

so do u think it will be alright or should i build 2 box's 1 for veg and 1 for flower?

everything sounds good
it sounds like u have around 6 sq ft
optimum lumens is at 5000 sq ft
i have read that over that can cause stuntness
growing in something that small ..u r def gonna have to top or train

It would be better to have a veg box and a flower box.as far as the lights go In veg mix more blue spectrum(2 daylights 1 red spec) and in flower mix with more red(2 day light and the rest red)..

I had this thought last night. If you bought all of these things in 1 go, especially on the net or on card, would this not scream out grower to anybody who noticed?

Don't buy them all in 1 go, unless you have cash :D

well i will be buying the lights off a grow site online and a lot of the other stuff i can just buy at the hydro store here in town or at Ace so nah i don't really think that it would scream grower..but thanks for the concern man..

i also saw a couple of 40Gal Rubbermaid tubs that looks like they can hold 6 to 10 plants in it i only want my plants to be about a foot and 1/2 tall at harvest i think its doable.

i am looking for any pointers/advice anything that will help me out i wanna do this right B-) :weed:
