*> CFL PC Grow <*

Here it is, my pc grow box. Its been in the works for about 3 weeks and its finally done and ready for the kids to play in. Here's a picture from about 2 weeks ago when it was first started.



It has 3 fans running off of 15v due to the fact that the 12v converter blew out on me when we were testing it about 5 hrs ago. 2 fans are blowing into the case giving the plants a gentle breeze and one fan blowing air out. I have 2 5500K CFL lights at the moment and im thinking about getting a 6500K CFL for the third light. Now that its finally going i have 2 plants growing, i'm thinking about maybe flowering both in there or just 1 big one, im really not sure yet. Any thoughts, comments or questions are greatly appreciated. Here are a few more pics of its new home... MORE TO COME SOON! I plan on switchng to 12/12 in about a month.

i've thought about taking the disk and hard drive shelves out but it's a pretty good size case and im using the shelves to hold my timer and power converter and to direct the air flow, im also planning on converting to hydro so the shelves could come in use with that also

Heres a new picture i took about 2 hours ago, this is day 3 in the box i believe

Heres a few new pictures i took today, they're growing great i've only had them in this box for about a week now. I'm on my way out right now to get them some more light!

what temps u running?

I'm not sure i don't have a thermometer in there yet, i would say about 75°F though

I went out to grab another light and ended up hitting a vape for 2 hrs... its plugged in and they're enjoying the new light

Hey are you going to do any LST? lst the side branches now and add a screen of some sort like sog method..? watch them grow..

I was thinking about doing a little LST action, i might do it to the side branches on the one plant. I was also thinking about getting SOG going on but I'm still working on finding/making it

Here's a new picture i took this morning when i got up, i did a little LST action on the plant on the left. They're going into 12/12 in a few days

Nice lil op u got man. Those babies and specific strain or what? Oh and I gotta give you mad props on the BL reflectors I love em!

thanks bro, they're about 2 weeks old, i'm not sure what strain they are... yet. I've had them for a while so i wont know until they are well into flower, they could be Dutch Dragon, NL, G37 or a few other strains, we'll see.

Day 3 in 12/12

what nutes do you plan on using and when do you plan on using them? also, what kind of soil did you use?

you need more room, is there anyway to raise the lights up more, you should have used a more low profile pot also, if they get to close to the lights there going to burn and even if they temps of the box are 75, 2 inches away from the lights can reach over 100 easly

they're in fox farms soil organic i believe, im used grow big for veg and im using tiger bloom for flowering

the lights are at the top and the plants are sitting on blocks right now, and they're supposed to be close to the light

Day 20 in 12/12

I'm now down to 1 female plant, they both started showing signs of sex around the 15th of July. I took the male out on the 16th (the power went out that day so my female got a good 24hrs of dark). I also added a 2700k CLF in place of a 5500k.
