    So its my first grow and im doing it in a pc case, im running 2x 42 watt cfls, 4x 80 mm fans (2 intake, 2 exaust) and the walls are all foil taped for maximum reflection.

    I germinated the seed the day i got it on august 29th and i planted her on september 1st. Today is september 4th and she has her first set of leaves amd her second set is starting to come in.

    Ill be updating every 3 days or so to let you guys know how shes doing and any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I was also wondering how she looks to you guys? Does she look okay and healthy for 4 days old? I thing she looks wonderfull but this is my first grow :)

    Thanks

  2. i cant see the pic man. maybe try reposting it
     
  3. Sorry, took me a bit to figure out how to upload them from my iPad, should work now. I posted 4 pics, the seed after I germinated it, her home and 2 pics of her from today.
     
  4. I don't see any pictures either man.
     
  5. Can't see the picture. I just started a thread myself here.

    I'm not sure about using four fans, I'm thinking it's going to be rather loud. At least for me, stealth is bit of a priority. I'm doing fine with one 120mm at 6V for exhaust. Keeps my temperature at 25 degrees Celsius.
     
  6. I'm growing big bang too, good luck man!
     
  7. good luck !

    I would use something more along the lines of mylar or spraypaint instead of foil
     
  8. i think i finally got it

  9. Im sorry it took me so long to get these pics up, my computer was down and i was attempting to do it from my ipad but i was not successful. but as i said before the first 2 pics are from september 1st when i planted her and the other 2 are from yesterday (september 4) please let me know what you think

    thanks
     
  10. Barooph thank you :) i was wondering on a scale of 1-10 how dank your big bang plant is when it is budding?

    Kush70, i know, i wanted to buy mylar but i was sort of budgeting for this build and i had the foil tape in my garage, i am definitly going to be looking into making upgrades on my case for my next grow. do you think those car windshield reflectors would work just as well as mylar would?

    Thanks again :)
     
  11. the fans actually arent too bad, i built light traps for all 4 fans because there was a lot of light escaping, and they helped eliminate the sound some more

    if anyone is interested in building one of the light traps i was talking about i can post a video link or you can just search it up on youtube and you can find it

    Thanks :)
     
  12. Hey guys I had a question. If I veg her for 2 weeks then put her into flower will she be okay, I'm not expecting a big of yield, it's just that I'm going away the second weekend of October.

    Thanks for your help
     
  13. How hard was it to make the pcgrow? I'm looking to start my first grow but im waiting to have everything set up before germination. should i do pc or box ?
     
  14. good luck man nice setup
     
  15. subbed!' glad you got the picture working.

    what are your temps and humidity? thats probably the biggest concern in a micro grow.

    looking good for the sprout! (hold old is it)

    you also might want to raise her up higher towards the lights 2-3 inches.
     
  16. heres some updated pics of her, she is 8 days old today and she is looking great, im soo excited to see her grow more.

    My temp is about 80-85 during the day then drop to about 70-72 at night. The humidity is around 45- 50.

  17. It wasnt hard at all to build, i enjoyed building it. The only thing was that it was time consuming foil taping the walls, cutting hopes for the fans and building the light traps.

    If you want to do a small micro grow with just 1 plant and you are planning on doing a SCROG or LST i would say just use a pc but if you have the room and you want a nice size plant or two then go with the box. i am using the pc because i need it to be some what stealth and it needed to fit behind my bed. Definitly go with the box if you have room for it.
