Hello guys, I've been lurking RIU for quite a while now and have learned so much from the community. I finally decided to start my first grow and will be posting with updates atleast once a week. Feel free to comment or give suggestions since I am fairly new to this. All responses will be appreciated.

My Setup: I used a Sterilite plastic drawer that I found. Removed the drawer, covered with bubble wrap and duct taped everything completely. Not 100% light proof but good enough for stealth.

Intake/Exhaust: 4 120mm fans

Light: 4 CFL bulbs, two 23watt & two 25watt

Medium: Miracle Gro Moisture Control

Strain: Auto-flowering Fast Bud

EDIT: HAS AND WILL CONTINUE UNDER 24/0 LIGHT CYCLE

I was wondering how did you connect your fans?

Currently using a 5volt Blackberry cellphone charger. Just strip the tips of the wire and connect to one an another. There are a few threads on here to show how to do it. Hope that helps.

Looks like a good start man! I'm roughly 10 days behind you as far as plant life goes :P Definitely subbed for the long haul. +rep

Hey Fellas, Quick Update!
-Day 12 from seed.
-Today I transplanted her into a bigger homemade pot because the roots were already hitting the bottom of the container.
-I also installed an LST screen.
-A few yellow specks have appeared on one of the leafs, I'm not too worried about it at the moment but can anyone tell what it is? Thanks!

Thanks! But to be honest it was not my idea. I saw it on other people's setup as well. It's very ideal and works great. Thanks again, I'll be checking your plant as well. Happy Growing! :bigjoint:

UPDATE TIME.
-Exactly 2weeks from seed.
-I started LST'ing her again, I had stopped when transplanted, didn't want to stress her.
-Also switched the 2 23watt bulbs for 25watt bulbs. So its 4 25w bulbs which are a brand name called Ott-Lite, they seem legit.

Thank you, I searched different stores looking for something I can use. Ended up being a dish rack, cost 5 bucks. I took the grill/screen out from the rack, bent and hot glued it to the pot/container. Also used cut pieces of the container and hot glued them to the rack and container to add support. Anyway thanks again for taking a look, I will be watching your grow as well. :bigjoint:
