Interesting planter, can you tell us how it works and why you decided to go that route.

Re: Going Ape....A.K.A Grow # 3
Well....we only have a very small place in our bedroom closet.
If I were to go to something like 5 gal buckets I could only fit 3 at the max but they would always need to be shifted as the light would not cover them as close as I am using it due to height issues.
This way I can fit 6 and can grow them to about 4' to 4 1/2 tall and not have to worry about moving them around for light.
I made it this way also, so that:
1 it gets air to the roots and
2 provides a great way to drain off excess water.
3 easily flushed at harvest.
4 large enough to grow the 6 with out crowding the roots.
5 because its on the smaller side I do not need to use a lot of food for them.
6 simple wash out and re-set with fresh soil for next grow.
As a foot note..there are sea shells on the bottom, between the plastic frame and dirt to keep large amounts of soil from falling to the bottom and filling in the air void.
Here is a pic of the roots from my last grow using the same box etc..note the water at the bottom..drained off from a small hole on the bottom filled with a wax plug.

Day 11 of bloom and now seeing the first top flowers starting to pop.
Trimmed a few of the bigger leaves on day 3 of flower and again today.
When I started flower the plants were about 5" they are about 13" now.
All 6 plants from seed and this time..all female!
Sorry the first 2 pic's are a tad out of focus.
You can't really see in this light but I have noticed some of the leaves starting to turn a little purple.
Grown in 1/2 of a standard sized apt bedroom closet.

Here is a few pic's of the ladies. Flower day 20. The buds are starting to look nice...some trichomes starting to show.
I started giving them 1 tbs of blackstrap molasses per gal of water. On day 18 Each plant 2 cups of food every third day.
