What's up RollitUp people? I've been lurking around different forums for years (IC Mag, Overgrow, etc.) I would love to have more space to pursue my hobby but my living situation requires me to keep things stealthy and temporary. This is my third run in Rubbermaid tubs the second run in this particular set up. Last time I yielded just under an ounce from the lone surviving female that was sprouted from a few random beans found in some high end stuff (forget strain). I would love to up the wattage a bit with a bigger LED array but temps are perfect with this set up. I germed 10 Nirvana Freebies of an unknown strain and 7 sprouted successfully. I'm about a month in now since popping the beans and I'll be sure to start taking pics every few days. I'm growing in Fox Farm Ocean Forest and supplementing with their Grow Big for veg. and Tiger Bloom for flowering. This is definitely a budget grow I'm rocking two tubs clam shell style with hinges, 1" pvc 90s for vents, 150W LED draws air up through tubs and out of the top. I also have a ghetto rigged PC fan wired to an old AC adapter for circulation. Inside has been painted with a few coats of latex paint and I have weather stripping around the edges where the tubs meet to form a seal. Everything was put together with a hot glue gun.

Here they are roughly a week or two in. The two in the middle a few days head start on the others.

I haven't been good about recording progress because I was debating whether or not I wanted to do a Grow Journal at all. I'm committed to it now and looking forward to getting some feedback from you all. Here I am at 4 weeks in. The two weakest looking plants had to be sacrificed to make room. They all were transplanted to 1 gal. grow bags about a week ago. I topped the 4 taller plants a few days after. They've stopped shooting up and are starting to fill out and get bushier.

I'll try to be better about keeping up with this journal and plan to post updates every few days. Thanks for checking me out. I'd love to hear any questions or comments you may have.
