    I started out with a small subwoofer box which did not go well at all :p
    So I decided to move up.. Then I realized I could use my old PC case.
    I googled it and found you guys ;)

    So here's what I have so far..

    Case:$5
    CFL's: $6
    Reflector: $1
    Surge Protector: $3
    Timer: $3

    Total: $18


    I know it's not the best setup, I plan on getting at least 1 more CFL for it. I already have the bulb, I just need to get a new normal bulb for my room, and another adapter.

    I already have sprouts on the plants and I just started them today. I feel like these will be perfect in no time ;)

    Please leave your crits below, I will need it ;D positive or not.
    Thanks ;)
     
  2. Looks like a good start what genetics are the seeds and are they female seeds?

    You will only want one growing in that small of a area so toss the weaker of the two.

    What do you plan on running for nutes?

    I plan on getting rid of the weaker one, maybe throwing it outside in the woods down the road ;P

    I don't know what genetic they are yet, that's what I'm waiting for honestly. They're just some bagseeds I picked out.

    As far as nutes go, I have no idea yet. I guess I'll figure that out as soon as it starts vegging.

    I plan on adding a ScrOG as soon as it starts vegging as well. Is this a good or bad idea in a PC case? I know it adds yield but is it worth it?
     
  4. hey, wanted to ask you now rather than later.. but how long do you plan to go.. days total? seeing as we're more or less in the same lane.. lol

    edit: subd
     
  5. I'm not sure yet. I'm probably going to veg until the plant itself is about 4 inches, then I'm gonna start to flower.
    That should give me at least a decent sized bud in the end, and since I'm going to use a ScrOG, I should have many ;)
     
  6. ah ok.. sounds like you have more of a plan set out than i do haha, what size pot are you going to transplant to?
     
  7. Lol, some little container I found in the pantry. I guess one of those sour cream containers? I poked some holes in it. It's not huge but it should get the job done, seeing as I'm not going to have such a big plant.
     
  8. Day 2:
    Here are my little sprouts ;) They're so cutee lol. The one on the right doesn't look too good, but oh well ;P

    This is the strongest one so far, if it keeps it up I will dump the weak one.

  10. Thanks man :)
    I'm actually pretty surprised that it's grown that much in just 2 days. I'm thinking about putting another seedling in the weaker pot just to see how that one does.
     
  11. I've got 2 bagseeds growing just now but not using any lights -
    Once they are around 12 inches I'm moving them to my secret grow location in a forest :p
     
  12. They won't get 12 inches without lights :p
    Why not put them on your windowsill for now? until you get some lights?
     
  13. Nono what I mean is no artificial lights -
    They've got 12 hours of direct sunlight every day though.
     
  14. Ohh, okay haha. Good plan ;)
    I'm doing 18/6 for the first few weeks.
     
  15. Cool yeah I read something about that last night.

    18-12 gives you the optimum root size which means bigger yield? I could be wrong I have no experience with growing just been researching it alot these past few days.

    Anyway I won't spam up your thread dude, I'll maybe make one of my own.

    Peace
     
  16. I don't mind. I'd rather talk to someone about it than just have an open thread with no replies. And yeah, I believe that 18/12 while vegging increase yield. I'm just as new as you are with this..
    This is my first grow D:
     
  17. Damn, 2.4 oz in just a case? Haha, I already have the materials for a ScrOG. I also went and bought another 26W CFL today. It's working out pretty nicely ;)

    Also, the weak flower is doing a little better now. Hopefully when I check it tomorrow and take pictures for day 3 it will be all perky and happy.
     
  18. Hey popcorn you should get some more pictures up :D

    I've decided to make a journal too it's in my signature
     
  19. I'll get another pic up tomorrow, theres not really any progress right now since yesterday. I added another CFL and went to daylights instead of whites, though.
