Mini Fridge Grow!

Hey guys let me first start off by saying how thankful I am for everyone on here for their advice and tips. I borrowed a couple of ideas I saw on here from others with mini fridge grows, and want to share mine in hopes I can help at least one person out there.

Also this is going to be my first grow with some dank bag seed. So if I mess up not to bad.

For the fridge I used 3x 90cfm 18dba computer case fans, 1 intake (bottom) and 2 outtake (top) these are amazing by the way, I highly recommend them. And 2x 42w and 3x 27w 6500k cfl's. Running for 18hr it gets to be around 85degrees, and when the lights are off it comes in around 77degrees.

For soil I'm using Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Fertilizers I have Tiger Bloom, Grow Big, and Big Bloom.

Right now I currently have 5 seeds germinating in hopes that 2-3 sprout taproots and out of those 1 ends up being female.

I know the basic principle of growing but before I start I have just a few questions.
1. Does anyone recommend a long pot that would fit in the fridge that I can use. It can be from a store or a DIY one. I have been looking everywhere and cannot find one. This is the last thing I need.
2. Any advice on anything. (Maybe some more growing advice, or even tips on the ferts I'm going to be using. ie. when is the best time for each one).

Well there you go guys hope these pics can help, also let me know if you have any questions I can help out with. Sorry about the pics being sideways, but I'm already done typing this and way to lazy to go change it. Also I have no carbon filter I will cross that bridge when it comes time to flowering and I know the light shoots out the back but the fridge is going to be hidden and I can place a thin sheet over it so it's not really that bad.

Again thanks for your time in reading this. I know it was long.

Not bad. It looks good, but here are a few observations:

85 is too hot. You should bring that down a bit. One way that might help is to get rid of that active intake and make it passive. You are actually creating a restriction by having an active intake like that. You have double the CFM on your exhaust than you have coming in, so this is restricting the output. Just take that intake fan off its hole and immediately you'll see the difference. Then you can decide if you need to actually create a third exhaust fan.

As far as pots go, I've always had good luck finding some kind of storage tub or Tupperware container that fits the dimensions I was hoping for. If you have a Container Store near you, I recommend browsing the aisles. :tiphat:
