I'm doing it! PC GROW.....(and 1 supply question)

Well, results are in. I"m doing it

I'm gonna do a PC grow.

I jsut got done ordering:

1 CASE and power supply.....
2 80mm case fans....intake and outtake...
1 60mm case fan..(gonna incorparate it into a small recirclulating carbon scrubber)
1 1.5 cu Ft Fox Farm Ocean Forest Potting Soil mix
1 10 pack of LOWRYDER #2 seeds from the dear old Dr. Chronic.

i've allready got mylar, and cfl's. I'm gonna hopefully hook this baby up.

I'll be keeping it posted with GOOD PICS when I do this...

One supply question though. What is the BEST and MOST EFFICIENT way to add the CFL's to the case? I might be playing with LED's when I get more money down the line, but for now, this is it. How can I attach the lights to the case so that they are as flush together as possible? (...attaching to a metal case has me baffled..).... I"ll be doing a SCROG. So, if there is a way of making MOVABLE lights..that would be awesome. Ive got the bulbs...but what do I need to buy that is small that i can screw the into? I can then add my own wiring with extension cords to power them. Thats not a big issue for me. But, i dont know what I need to get. Where can I get just a plain small socket?

Anyhow, if things i missed or anythign you want to say.

POST IT UP

 

Hello guys,
Well, as you all know, my last attempt didn't work out so well. The problem was that I was using the local water and it had a PH of way over 8.0 and it caused severe stunting, yellowing leaves, and twisting leaves.

So, I got new seeds and decided to start over fresh.

This is how it's going this time.

Light being used: 131 watts of CFL
Medium: Fox Farm Ocean Forest
Filter Material: Carbon Fiber Matt
Cab: Stealth PC Grow Case
Nutrients and Chemicals used: Superthrive, Mollasses and a 6.5 PH buffer solution.
Plants: Lowryder #2 and Auto-Bhang

Both autoflowering strains. Auto-bhang was a freebie from Dr. Chron.​

Reflective Material: Mylar
Plants growing: 9

4 Lowryder #2's in the main planter​

3 Auto-bhang in a ice cube tray​

1 Lowryder #2 in bigger looking shotglass​

1 Lowryder #2 in small shotglass​

Most have just sprouted today. I have 3 plants left from the last grow. One of my seeds didnt germinate and the ones that I saved I put in the old spot where the seed didn't germ, and the other old one I put in the other ice cube tray. I dont know if they will live or not. They are stunted but have yet to show sex. So, i'll keep hope. The one in the small shotglass, is a old seedling where the root died off. The leaves kept growing so I didnt give up. I put root hormone on it and after about 2 weeks...(yes..that small plant is 2 weeks old) and now it is finally creating roots again.

I'll update more as plants keep growing, but this is the setup for plants right now.

I have also implemented the homeade DIY CO2 Generator. Anything to help my yield i'm trying out.




I also made new case mods:

I added a carbon fiber matt to the back of the 80CFM 80mm fan to stop light from going through and help filter smell.

I added carbon filter to the intake to stop light (main reason) and clean incoming air..(oh well..lol)

I added a 2nd layer to my cool tube to help cool my pc. The air goes in a U shape cooling the fans and the 1st layer of plexiglass. With the added carbon filter, it didnt blow enough and I found extra cooling necessary. Works like a charm.

I added a carbon filter. I put at the end of the cool tube, a big hole that I filled with carbon fiber matt. All air to cool the lights is pulled through this carbon filter and taken right out of the back of the case. It pulls the air from the grow chamber, cooling that as well and keeping fresh air available

PICS:

 

well, all the shotglasses and icecube trays are for a Shotglass Grow Contest i'm participating in on another forum..

i'm gonna try to grow 4 small lowrdyer.....and..i've got so many because of the hermie/male aspect.....i want females..and i'll cull/kill as see fit...till I get a good ratio.
