Well bro, you have inspired me. I have grown in a closet as well as a grow tent, but I have yet to design/grow in a stealth box. Since I've been following your grow so closely, I thought, "Hmmmm .... I want to try that!!" So the plan is to use two rubbermaid totes. I've already wired up my PC fans (1st time for this so I was really stoked) and they are quiet as hell. I can see needing more of them down the line but for now this is sufficient. I'm about to work on my lighting and placement of another fan for additional airflow. I will only use this setup for vegging though. This time around I will veg. for about six weeks because I am expecting family to come into town and stay for about a week, maximum two. If I start my indoor beans now and the family comes at the end of June as planned, I will be vegging a total of 6 - 7 weeks once they are gone. I have never vegged that long but am eager to as I know the plants will be very mature by then and should bud quite nicely once I transfer them to my grow tent under my 400 watt HPS system. I won't have to concern myself with smell while they're in the veg. state, and I'll keep the rubber tote setup in my bedroom closet where NO ONE should be!!! That way I can attend to the plants in private to make sure they are not growing into the lights, etc. The one thing that bums me out about my impending grow is that I will have to LST to keep the plants low and I REALLY wanted to try scrogging. But hey, plenty more grows/methods/experiments to try in the future so ... I'll put that on the back burner for now. Okay, as for your girls, you won't get the full potential of your autoflowering buds under 12/12; however, I've grown autos along with non-autos before and still got a nice little bit. I didn't flower under CFLs though so ... we'll see. I will say this though, every autoflowering strain I've grown/smoked had me blazed, so hopefully what you lose in yield you will make up for in potency. BTW, really crappy shake will be a welcome to your head/body after a week long drought!! Glad you are going to throw a few more beans in some soil to get your next grow started as these girls finish up. You have about 4-6 more weeks to flower you think? If so, your other beans will be nice and ready to throw into flower by harvest time. As soon as you harvest and throw your "window sill" beans into flower, put some more beans on the window sill! LOL! At that rate/from that point, you can start a pattern of harvesting about every two months eh? You should have no more droughts after that man! I was thinking about doing this as well but because I am more addicted to growing than smoking, I was concerned with having so much bud lying around. It takes me awhile to finish a jar of bud hence I still have some from last year! But ... I can't stop growing! I LOVE all of my plants, veggies, cooking herbs, peppers and fruit trees, but nothing gives me the same joy as growing sweet, sexy Maryjane! I really wish I could keep a mother plant too for cloning, but sometimes, depending on circumstances, I have to take a break between grows so ... I'm like you on that subject -- just no where to keep such a plant. Maybe one day we will be free to grow like we want to and be in complete canabliss! LOL! WOW ... I forgot you were only growing under 2 lights man! Damn those plants are doing well for so few CFLs! The girls will love the 3rd CFL addition, and NO you can't have folks pissin' and crappin' in the dark so ... yeah, you were a gracious host for making that sacrifice and putting the 3rd light in the bathroom for now! LOL LOL LOL!!! Holla later man, gonna go and take some pics. of the sprout that came up this a.m. after dropping in soil just this past FRIDAY! Gotta love Mandala strains!
