a tube? like how big? how big is the bin? remember you want to move the air, those plants will needs lots of fresh air they haven't already processed, a closed container isn't good, just make sure to open it often for now.

Why don't you carve some holes and place the vans next to those to move air in and out? Can you get a pc fan setup somehow? Can you not keep the storage bin open?

Is that tin foil I see in the background? Now...now canna...CAN that shit!

Are you still giving them nutes?

How close is ur light man, Cause they still looked stretched. if its cfls' U can get within inches of ur plant. When you do transplant def bury most of that stem hanging out. Make it low to teh ground. U can honestly start to flower withing 2 weeks of veging. So if ur plants are 2 weeks old you can flower. It will be a small yield tho. the longer you veg the more yeild you might get . But since you most likely will flower for a month and a half or two. It will still get pretty nice sized :P Anyway good luck just scribed . Hope all works out well

I took mine to 30 days. Cause 1 month of growth plus 2 months of budding usually is a good combo. Some people do actually do it withing 15 days tho So its all up to you buddy

You never seen those guys throw pc fans in their boxes?




Yea, foil will create hot spots and it will burn the plants. A big no no...
This is all tin foil is good for..




You know bro, CAN IT! Like cut that shit out...

If you want reflective in your "storage bin" paint the inside flat white. Those are extremely stunted. 80-87 degree is a bit on the high side. For this problem, for now, invest in some small flourescent tube lights ,Cool White, they produce very little heat. Try a foliar spray with just some Vitamin B1 and of course water, I have experienced Suprising results.

Well I've added a new "feature" to my bin lol if you wanna call it that. I cut holes in the sides of the bin for more efficient ventilation. I put an intake fan and an output fan so there would be constant fresh air flowing in and heated "used" air being cycled out...it seems to have dropped the temperature significantly, as well. it stays at like 75-80 now. all in all...pretty sweet deal. pics to follow soon...:mrgreen:

Your plants are looking good man. Keep up the good work.

It's always funny to watch stoners get all Macgyver on their grows..

haha yea man...i used a steak knife to cut those holes in the bin...wow...i just realized what i did when i re-read what i typed....i used...a steak knife...wtf? lol

lol, steak knife has a serrated blade, probably did a good job cutting plastic. Plants are looking a lot better since first seeing them. Not sure how long your air freshener idea will hold out.. especially when they go into flower. Keep it up
