I love perpetual micro grows and this is a very nice one. Well done weedcurious :)

Thanks man, another question for all of you guys, do you think it would be more effective to use a different type of paint to cover/lightproof the inside of the rubbermaid instead of spray paint? Or will that work well enough ? I am considering starting something similar although maybe a little bigger, and don't want to have that "blue christmas tree blub" effect.
Thank you all.

Bump

Probably a silly question but I am a newbie ^

anyone else trying this out?

Well, there is plenty of xmas tree going on with mine. I've since moved to a big bucket style container, 1 inverted on top of other. These are a bit thicker and are black plastic, except for the holes for vents/connections, it leaks very little.

I've been happy with flat white paint, it's easy, cheap and seems to do the job. Good enough for me.

If you're going a bit bigger, I'd guess the sky's the limit, I think you could frame a box any size you want with 1"x2" and use 1/4" plywood .

Good luck! Start a thread when you're ready.
 
Congrats man! This is really working out for you. Is this a test run/mock up of the Great Mini Pheno Hunt you mentioned a time back in the yogi cup thread?

That was me actually :) I'm working on getting my coco skills dialed in with a single plant grow before I up the plant numbers so drastically.

This is exactly what I was picturing though! So awesome to see it being done well... Makes me feel motivated to follow through with this idea!
 
And weedcurious, since it sounds like you're bottom feeding already you should check out the Toms Aqualifter pump. It's extremely cheap at around $15 and reliable... Plus it outputs a consistent 3.5 gallons so you can hook it to a cheapo timer and be set for auto watering.

Cool I 'll check it out. Have a week away vaca coming in a couple months and either needed to shutdown or figure some auto watering system. Thanks!
 
No problem dude, really stoked on what you've got going! Seeing your thread actually made me motivated to get my setup together. Nearly there now!

Any updates?
 
Hi, can you comment on height of plants? I have similar idea and I'm having height constraints. I'm considering using almost 1 litre milk cartons as hempy. No veg time, straight 12/12 regiment after rooted clones.
