my rubbermaid grow world

I'm using totes as well

first off, you definately need to flip your ventilation setup around... hot air rises so it would make sense that the fan on the top is the exhaust. and cold air is more dense so it stays lower, hence the intake fan on the bottom. and make sure you line the entire thing in reflective material if your sticking wid CFLs. as for the screen, from what i understand you keep the plants underneath the screen until they start flowering and you only let the colas grow through the screen,that way the entire footprint of your box is covered with buds if you've done it right...never tried tho so dont take my word as final, good luck mayne!

well right now im sitting at the right temp and humidity 76 degrees and 45% i think im going to stick with the fan set up i have right now just because its not hurting me at all tempature wise and its blowing on my plants keeping them sturdy.

in about a week i would transplant those into 1 gallon pots.
i tried sticking with small cups as a first attempt. disaster.
make sure u get alot of air circulation and good lights
try to get some co2 set up soon (yeast, sugar, water)

Dont go co2 on small plants....

for co2 i heard that bubbly water works if not let me know if anyone has another way for co2 let me know. ill move to bigger pots in a few days, and these arnt clones so its all good but i didnt know u shouldnt use co2 on clones.

CO2 is intended for Fully Flowering Plants.

word so i wouldnt need co2 for veg. then

No its not needed in your scenario.

taken from the GROW FAQ's

"CO2 can be a pain to manufacture safely, cheaply, and/or conveniently, and is expensive to set up if you use a CO2 tank system. CO2 is most usable for flowering, as this is when the plant is most dense and has the hardest time circulating air around its leaves. If your strictly growing vegetatively indoors, (transferring your plants outdoors to flower), then CO2 will not be a major concern unless you have a sealed greenhouse, closet or bedroom, and wish to increase yield and decrease flowering time."

cool thanks bro.

Im not a Bro, im a lady...

well thanks miss

your very welcome sir.

CO2 only increases the rate of photosynthesis if the lighting is intense enough. breaking three thousand lumens and adding co2 would make your plants cock diesel... adding co2 to plants that are being flowered under lets say, CFLs would make a negligible difference.
