Had these lights in series laying around( that will teach my Dad to leave his shit lay at my house!! 
) and the lights are hung from the trash can lid. The little chimney commin out the top is cause my dum A cut the hole for different sized fan, then changed my mind. So I butchered up a couple gallon sized pots for a reducer, to fit my 4" inline 100cfm fan. Already had holes around the top of the trash can drilled, from my last mad science project, so I decided to plug the light leaks by through bolting, and then hanging clones from them with clothes line wire. I cut the bottom off the trash can so that I could set it over the one clone i have in the ground, soonly it will outgrow the "Bucket" but at least I should get a little more vedge time this way, make it worth it. I have the bucket up on 2x4 blocks to allow air flow, and then I pushed straw around the bottom to keep more of the light in.
Should go check the thing now that it is dark out, and see if I have light leak problems or not.
At least I was having fun with it, anyway!

Just checked, and the light leaks aren't really all that bad, kicked the straw around the base just a little tighter. Think I will have to attack the thing with a little gorilla tape, and maybe make a skirt for the bottom out of a contractor bag.
I have a dark colored tub that coconut butter came in, and I put that over the top of the exhaust fan. The tub is bigger than the fan, so it lets air pass, but is pretty much stifling any light coming out the top. 60 F and 70% humidity in there just now, before I lit off the propane heater in the greenhouse. Bin slowly turning into winter hear after our summer of frying in the heat. I have seen frost on neighbors roofs once already this month.

I have photo's next to the space bucket, but I really am not to worried about it, it's no more light than moon beams and street lights. Mostly just trying not to advertise that I grow weed, or at least to much! Finally got a big air scrubber in there( Man, and 8" really is BIG!).
Thanks for looking! I may have messed up the "father" plant for those Feminized CD-1 seeds I am trying to make( Didn't start spraying with coloidal silver early enough), plan B is to try and give a clone or 3 to a friend to try, and maybe I can get a new clone back from him come March. Don't want to run my greenhouse all winter from the energy perspective!

My wheels have been turning a bit with the whole big space bucket idea, could be a great way to help start plants out doors, if you can't grow in your house.
Also I have been thinking I will make a big compost pile on top of my Cannabis bed this winter, use plenty of horse manure to get it going hot, then snug this crazy space bucket inside of it for starting my seeds!
Fun Ideas to keep the creative juices flowing, anyway, and I have full faith that I will probably do SOMETHING dum soon, to stop myself from feeling smart ( trying to enjoy the joy's of success for now, though, Lol!!)

Well, things are actually going alright. Got a little worried about yellow leaves this week, but have decided that it's cause my plants are basically getting pot bound. The raised bed there in I think is mostly all roots and earthworms, and a little soil at this point! So I fed them, real good like. A little fish emulsion on the ones that looked hungry fore more N, and then I did one with just plenty of molasses in the water, man, that actually did a lot, just a full bottle of molasses in 80 gallons of water, what Daas and kingfish say about molasses, is no shit!! This morning I got them with 10 pounds of worm castings, and a bottle of molasses that I bubbled for 2 day's, they seemed to really like that. Buds on the jack Herer are starting to feel pretty firm now, and getting a few pistols turning on all the strains.

Thanks Ojh.
The "Walrus" Ha ha ha ha!
It is actually just a piece of egg crate mattress foam, left over from making the muffler for my carbon scrubber fan. I had a big piece left, so I wrapped it around the fan, to make it a little quieter. I was a little concerned at first that I might over heat my fan, but it seems to be fine. Guess it's just all the airflow going through the thing, must be keeping it good and cool.

Lola, and the clone army. She, ( ahem, he, um?....) is a clone from my feminized Bubble Gun Pro by Victory seeds, I hermed her with some colloidal silver earlier this fall, and rubbed a little pollen on two buds from the mother plant. Maybe I should have tossed her after, but since I'm a nut job,( and have a very soft spot for plants, specially weed ones) gonna re-vedge and try to keep her around this winter. Really want some offspring from that plant!!! Moma is growing some colas that I think will fill a jar after trimming and curing, smell like strawberys and bubble gum, smell kinda sends me to the moon, so hence my love affair with my dear sweet Lo La!

No, I got it running into my tea Barrel, I have been mixing earth worm castings and molasses in there the whole grow now, and they really seem to love it!!
Thinking I may have to let them go for 3 more weeks, since I am going to have to leave for 2 weeks this month ( God, scary, I timed that poorly!) Think I will feed them castings cor one more week, then molasses only the last two weeks.
Feed back on Triches is def welcome from all! Kinda want to harvest a few buds in case the worst happens while I'm away. The CD-1 may actually be getting there?

Well, crap.
I've been keeping a sharp eye out for this problem, and saw one sugar leaf that was turning yellow and looked out of place compared to the normal late stage yellow fans. Sure enough, just a little bit of botrytis on the base of the leaf. Chopped the bud asap, tossed the top portion, and carefully looked through the bottom part, and hung it to dry.
Think I am going to start harvesting all the biggest colas after work today
.
I think I am at least close enough to have some decent bud if I give em a good long cure, the tester I tried yesterday was actually pretty good, nice hit of Euphoria, which is what I was after with the bubble gun pro strain
Hey, am I doing it right to pitch the top of a bud, and keep everything BELLOW the spot of bud rot??
Thanks for looking, and I will post more pics later.

Good news! Harvested one big cola after I got home from work, and no bud rot, checked carefully inside all my biggest colas, some yellow single finger leaves, but no more bud rot. Watching them like a hawk, and have all three DH's going, along with my propane heater. Been cold and rainy, just what every grower wants near harvest....

I did end up chopping my most ready colas on the CD-1. I think it was quite a bit ahead being a re-vedged plant, and getting a lot of amber triches, with not to many clear ones, so everything that was dense, got clipped.
