What do you guys think of this? Im super new to this and I have read almost 20 or so threads on like 50 diffrent sites. I fully understand that everyone has their own way of growing and thats fine. Im trying to find a simple yet effective setup that wont cost me a shitload of money. yet I dont wanna skimp out on lighting either. Cant really afford the expensive hps or hp lights and ballasts and shit so i was thinking this.

I wanted to use 6 cfl's pushing out about 156 watts a piece (10,200 lumens) for only 2 plants in a grow box enclosure. I seen a really neat box that someone made out of two huge rubbermaid containers and I wanted to copy that set up. Here is the link to what it should look like when im done.

DIY- How To - Rubbermaid Tub Growbox - CANNABIS.COM Message Boards - Quality Marijuana and Hemp Information

if you copy this link it will take you to the posting on what this guy did and it fucking worked. AMAZING! Just to get others opinions what do you guys think if that? Or would that many lights be too much for just two plants?

It would work. One thing that comes to mind is light spectrum from veg to flowering. You will want to change when it's time to flower.

Man filthy, why do you gotta rain on his parade? He doesn't have much money. I just watched his vision of growing go down the drain.

Shame. No, double shame!

It will work just fine but why use the rubbermaid containers. Just buy the lights, pots, soils, and paint or mylar and set up a closet.

Unless you dont have room then use the tubs.

Good luck.

hey sorry...

are you going to use 43 watt cfl bulbs? they are the equivelant to 150 watt incadescents... if you surround a small INDICA plant with 5-6 of these bulbs you can harvest 3 ounces easy...

the key is to FLOWER when the plant is small... 4-6 nodes....

argue your limitations.. and they are YOURS
