White Widow, Bubble Gum, Purple Haze Grow Tubs LST CFL

WEEK 1

Looking nice

Girls now under 18/6 lighting. One more week in the sprout tub then on to the big tubs.

 

[MadMardo]

Busy day today!

pretty much completed my two large grow tubs.

Each tub is a 51 gallon lined with mylar. I constructed an 8 bulb CFL hood hung by chain. Each tub will be able to house 3 plants. I have cut holes in the back on the left and right for 2 mountable fans. From top of soil to light is 25 inches. Im going to LST so that should give me enough room to get a decent grow.

I cant wait to move the girls in.

Your tubs look awesome. You've got good construction skills. However, when I was setting things up myself, I wanted to build stuff too in order to save some money. Then I started counting everything up and decided that getting a grow tent would be cheaper in the long run. I think my 1.2Mx1.2Mx2M cost me about $120. I can fit 9 girls in there with room to spare. Just a thought. I'll be posting pictures when I move my girls into their new home in the next couple days if you want to check it out. You can buy pretty cheap tents on Ebay.

nice grow cabs, cool idea for my T5 lamp, might try it out for veg if i can fix one up

 

[MadMardo]

hah thanx.. this was a vision that has manifested over the last few months since I started my first grow. cant wait to get the girls in there!

Hemp, Yes your correct a tent would be awesome however im in a small apartment with slanted ceilings because im in a loft type. I dont have one single space where I could house a tent to its full capacity. I have to stick the 2 tubs in 2 different corners in the apt.

The only question is when ur in ur dark cycle how will u keep light out?

 

[Nine Leafer]

Nice grow light! Very innovative! I'll check back in to see how it's turning out!

 

[MadMardo]

The only question is when ur in ur dark cycle how will u keep light out?

notice the equivalent to the bottom that covers the tub over. this pretty much cuts out all light from going in and getting out

[MadMardo]

looks like im going to have to transplant my sprouts tomorrow.. Ill get some new pics of the girls in their new homes

Purple haze is by far my strongest strains in this batch

 

[MadMardo]

18 Days

 

[HempRocket]

They're looking beautiful.

 

[MadMardo]

White Widow 2 and Bubblegum 2 seem to be running behind the rest.. hope they pick up.

 

[HempRocket]

Not that bad I wouldn't worry about. Sometimes the runts pick up so quick in flower that they might be your largest plants.
