Can a Coco Nut Find Love in a Walmart Tote (SIP)

I've been getting interested in the whole live organic thing for awhile but wasn't really seeing it as practical in my space. Then someone mentioned Earth Boxes. Checked out their site and thought "Hmmmm". The main issue was the sizes didn't fit for my space. Soooo, I started checking out Walmart totes and found these Sterlite Industrials that would allow me to do 3 single holers in each of my spaces. Perfect! Tote They also have a larger one if you want a 2 holer. After that just cut up some pvc pipe we have hangin around, a trash bag and a fitting from Tractor Supply which allows me to attach 3/8" tubing to drain the overflow water into a coffee can.
Ordered some stuff from BuildASoil to get me started.
Got 3 Auto Thai Ryder seeds I'm waiting on to get their heads out of the ground.

Day 98 2nd Thai girl chopped. Weird, last week and a half sugar leaves turned to purple. Buds stayed skinny. Only thing I can think of is the gnat issue

Day 77 Sour Diesel. Never grew any height. Buds are as fat as they are tall. Don't know if from the gnat thing or being in the small sips.

I guess I can't complain about the #2 girls skinny buds. 147 grams of dry sugar pops. My best so far for a single plant. Definitely sold on SIPS @MarshydroTina Grown under ts1000 which I just replaced with another SP150. Even with the transformer located outside the space it was too much heat now that summer is here.

Day 113, #3 Thai girl gets the chop today---finally. This is the one that was smooshed into the left side. Certainly filled out once she had some social distancing

@Sour D Apologies if you've shared this, but how tall are your closet spaces you're growing in? Trying to size containers for a potential SIPs approach in my tents (replicating your DIY build), and wondering what kind of clearance issues I might run into. Your plants look tall!

No prob. 1 is 18" x 36" x 36" to the bottom of light. 1 is 24 x 36 x 48 to bottom of light. Last one is 36" x 18" x 65" to bottom of light.
I've been trying to stagger the grows so I can have 2 girls starting, 2 in veg/bloom, 2 in bloom. Of course it doesn't always work out that way
