My 125watt CFL micro grow box

Hi, this is my first grow and would like to share my experience. Would like all comments and criticism and tips. Let me get you up to speed.
I started with premium top soil with 7 nutrients. 3 plastic 2 gallon pots and 2 fabric pots. I took 2 150 liter Rubbermaid tubbs. Installed 125 watt CFL 2700k and 2 computer fans to keep things nice and balanced. My temp does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius, and doesn't drop any lower than 20 when lights off. All walls are reflective tape. And also have 16 ft of 3850 daylight LED lights.
Now for the girls. I have 2 mataro blue auto in fabric pots. On day 38. Already starting to get hairs.
Also put 3 candy cane autos as well. Here are pics of the grow box. And the girls.

Only use anything below 3000k for flower and anything from 5-5500k for veg other than that keep up the good work.What wattage is the daylight leds you got and also keep in mind that they are 1 or <1 watt diode which will make them no good for penetration on a canopy,

Yea, thanks for the feedback. Here autos are very easy to grow, and for lighting I have a 125 watt 6700k bulb coming from amazon. And thinking of making a smaller veg box. I the LED are 3850 5000k daylight. It is bright and warm for them. Happy that I have them this far. I'm switching 2 to bloom next water cycle. And 2 weeks later 2 more I'm putting into bloom. Them one will be 2 weeks after that. Not looking for tons of trees just enough to keep me topped up every month. Thinking of getting bag of seeds and try my luck at growing male and female. See if I have learned anything from this grow.

That 6700k isn't going to help too much with bloom cycle but for sure will help out your veg area. try and ditch those led's and just use 4 2700k or 3000k they will be called warm white in stores for those. Also remember there equivalent watts they are talking about are incandescent lights so don't use that for when you buy them use the actual wattage.

Yea, that is what I have in mind for the veg box. Was hoping to clone these, but read that autos can't be cloned.but like I said learning something everyday. These plants blow me away.

Autos can be cloned but decently difficult. It is a timing thing and knowing the strain you are growing very well.They pretty much just shoot 2-4 colas when cloned.

Yes that is what I read as well. What about home job carbon filters? Any tips?

Get you set of pantyhoes and cut them in half. Stuff one in some solid ducting, tape the top part down fill it with activated carbon you can find it in the fish section(crush it up SOME) then fill it tightly use you other half of the pantyhoes and stretch it over the entire thing and tape it down too. Bam home made scent scrubber.

Definitely going to try that thanks again.

I'm a noob but learning n preparing. So this homemade scent scrubber, do you just lay it on the floor? Set up inline with exhaust fan? Wheres it's placement?

Put this style one outside of your tent with a inline fan blowing into it. You don't want to pull air threw it just in case a tear then you would be out a fan, only push air threw it.

Got it got it thx!
