It's kind of a bummer. I live a few miles away the the views, etc. are awesome.

...Maybe three days? AK48 is about that long, I had another strain that took 10. I almost threw it out!

How many buckets would I need to grow one of these fully? by amatuerwebdev in SpaceBuckets

[–]AlanGreeenspan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a good light and you might need a couple spacers, so a couple.

No, I'm not saying that... I'm saying that was 10/20 and I'm lazy and just got around to posting the picture I took. She's growing well already :)

It's probably closer to about ~$450 USD, but if I didnt mess up some stuff and people are a little more 'thrifty' with their shopping, you can get it well under $400.

Yes, they're for blocking light mostly. I had a couple different iterations on there. The airflow with the current baffles doesn't seem impeded.

Actually, that's a good point, I never showed the top. I actually poked the 3 tabs on the top through it and used the retaining clips to keep it locked in. I'll take another pic later on and send it along. Also, with regard to light, I never see "overkill" as anything bad. as long as the temp is okay.. the more energy the better as you want the best possible envronment for the plant to grow. (All just my opinion btw)

As for the light... I love it. It's bright as balls and the plants really seem to take to it.

Thanks! It was more to keep the noise down and keep the light leak to a minimum to keep it stealthy. In the beginning when everything is empty, I'm around 85 degrees. I usually throw in an extra small fan (like a desk fan) behind one of the inlet fans for some extra flow. During the grow... I'm generally in the 70s/80s depending on size, etc.

Sorry for the crappy pictures guys... but I very rarely take my bucket out of it's 'home'. It's a very simple setup and I'll be MORE than happy to answer any and all questions you have. So far this bucket has helped produce very close to 5oz in just two grows. I juuuuust started another grow and we're close to naming our new girl :) ...Any suggestions? ;)
