Hey am I right in guessing that you drilled holes in the new planters then put them back on the rubbermaid lids? I think I will be doing this exact set up with my grow.

Thanks man - most definitely. You're right, I did put them back on the rubbermaid lids, but I'll be changing those lids to boot trays that I got from Menards for $2 a piece. They space the new planters (3 gallon wastebaskets) perfectly at 3/tray. I know, I'm picky.

How much did the wast baskets cost? And what lights are you going to switch to in the cloner? I am using 2 2' foot totato bulbs from walmart for my clones. seems to be plenty. (shhsshh don't tell anyone one but I cloned my kush plant couple days ago and the clones are doing great no wilting and none sucked air. They are nice and green and love there humidity dome.

The baskets were $2 each. These are the exact lights I will be using:
Found some Great + Cheap little lights
Thanks to Madamecrash.
Do you think I'll still need a humidity dome with that humidifier I have in the chest? Congrats on the clones man....

Here's some updated pics taken this morning (Day 48 from seeds).

Started feeding with Advanced Nutrients Bloom yesterday. Still waiting for Big Bloom & Sweet Leaf to arrive in the mail. Swapped the old rubbermaid trays with new boot trays I got for $1.50 each from Menards.

Today I also labeled and rearranged the pots, putting the smaller plants closer to the light and moving the large ones towards the outside.

This is also the 4th day after switching to 12/12, and in addition to the 3 White Widows from fem seeds, 3 out of the 6 Mandala white satin are already showing sex as female, with still no signs of the other 3 being male. They all seem to be happier and growing faster since transplanting them last week as well.

So there are 3 males in the bunch, just as I originally hoped. I now have 3 female Mandala White Satin and 3 female White Widow. My new HPS bulb also came in so that has been swapped with the MH. Continuing to feed 5 mL Sweet Leaf, Big Bud, and Bloom w/ 1 gallon H2O every other feeding, and misting with CO2 water. I also took 3 clippings of the strongest plants in each strain to clone for my second grow.
