    A large homemade cardboard box would work also.
    i would start flowering them right away, then you can ditch your males and have more room.
    growing from bagseed, your most likely gonna have some that are less than desirable,(hermaphrodites, lanky sativas) so you can get rid of them also.

    your just prolonging the agony of killing half your crop
    select your best indica type females, and maximize your space.

    fixed flower box!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    well i fixed me big flower box and i side mounted the cfls horizontally
    like you guys said
    they still get hot though buy the fan cools them way quicker

    so im flowering now and my box seeems to work way better

    im covering the box with a black contractors clean up bag(the best!!!)
    i hold my 150 watt cfl rigt onto the bag and i cant see light on the other side!!
    im still having problems getting computer fans so theres condensation on the leaves everytime i take off the bag in the morning
    i hope that doesnt fuck up me shit too bad till i get the fans at leas

    it looks like i am going to order them on line

    oh and i transfered the ladies from 20 oz styrofoam cups to 32 ounce styrofaom cups YAY!!!!

    still in transplant shock or whatever but doing well

    im using my flower nutes now but im slowly building up the flower nutes while slowly decreasing the veg nutes
    maybe that will keep some stress down?

    well when i get me digital cam back ill post pics of how everythings growing
    muah

    Hahah Mr skunkfarmer? your older than i am! so i guess i should be saying yes Maam?

    humidity is bad for flowering plants. it causes mold aka bud rot. your fine for now because you have no buds, but you need ventilation.

    get those pc fans. the exaust fan blowing air out will obviously make a big hole in your box. so take a card board box, about the size of a book. cut a hole the same size as a pc fan and have the fan blowing air from your grow box into the card board box (duct tape is your friend) now make a hole in the bottom of the box towards the floor so the fan has a place to blow the hot air out at. this will direct light down so it wont be like a big hole in your box. this is called a light baffle.

    im not sure how your going to incorporate this with your light proof bags. their a great idea but its not logical to put your whole box inside (cuts off all ventilation hence all the condensation). i'd take some good glue and line the inside of the box with that thick plastic. sorta cut them up and cover every wall. maybe use some thumb tacks?

    i hope this helps a bit.

    ok

    so i mounted the lights horizontally
    now the room doesnt get as hot
    im using velcro so as the plants get bigger i can just move the light up real easy

    the last pic is of my other smaller box

    males almost always show first, you should google what percentage of full dose people give their plants using your Same nutes. or go to a forum and ask some questions. i'd bet money you can up them alot more

    1 tsp = 150 drops about, at 90 drops they begin to burn at 7 inches tall

    i just moved the drops up to 60 drops of the base nute (flora nova bloom) and 20 drops of the flora nova gro
    im slowly weening my babies off the grow
    50 drops of carbo load
    45 drops of floralicious bloom
    50 drops of calmax
    40 drops of diamond nectar

    my shit works tight
    plus every three days when i water, they grow bigger so i slightly up the nutes maybe 10 drops
    to use 2 and a half tsps on a plant in a 2 gallon bucket thats 3 feet tall with four colas will burn the hell outta the plant
    my shit is super concentrated so it lasts for ever
    on the bottle they recomend two tsps for regular growth and thats a bunch of bullcrap
    three tsps on any plant (except some big nute loving indica)would probably be considered euthanasia
    plus bagseed is predominantly sativa
    ergo its more sensitive to nutrient levels imho

    ok wierd ass shit

    now for the past three and a half weeks ive been adding ph down to my nute solution
    which is now at about
    (bearing in mind that 150 of my drops are about one tsp)
    90 drops floranova bloom
    10 drops floranova grow
    55 drops floralicious bloom
    50 drops carboload
    55 drops calmax
    55 drops diamond nectar
    3 drops superthrive

    per gallon of ro water

    now since i didnt have a ph meter,
    i thought that the nutes brought the ph up
    and since my ro water was had a ph of 7
    i thought it was about like at 8 or higher when i added the nutes
    so i added some aquarium ph down safe for plants and animals
    to bring it down to a ph of 6 or so

    bearing in mind that i dont know the ph at all and im simply estimating

    so now i have a digital ph meter,
    and i calibrate it
    i test my ro water and its at 7
    now i add the same nutes ive been using the whole time
    now i my ph meter reads 4.5

    so for the past three weeks the ph my nute solution has been around 4 or 5
    and on top of that ive been adding ph down (thinking that im bringing it from a ph of 8 to a ph of 6)

    so its safe to say that ive been adding nute solution to my plants that has a ph of 3 to 4

    but look at my plants

    they dont look like the ph is way too low do they

    they look perfectly fine

    wtf is up with that

    im using coco

    i was wondering if you wanted the ph to be at 6 in the root zone
    and the coco is a 7(nuetral) do you need to add nute solution with a ph lower than 6 to compensate for the ph of the coco being at seven instead of six?
    i hope you guys understand that lol

    oh and so this watering i didnt add the ph down but i didnt have any ph up either
    so i poured the water
    and the excess that poured out the bottom from the drain holes(wtf is that called again, leakage? no it sounds way cooler than that)
    that water i collected and tested from each individual plant and they wer all at about 6.2 to 6.4
    so i dont know if thats good or bad or even if i should check that being that ive never really used a ph meter lol

    so yeah any input will be nice

    hello

    attempt to utilize the back of the closet across from that one much more room...
    plus the small closet you can set up shelfs for the fungi
