Thank you very much!! I am so glad you enjoyed my grow journal and I am glad I could help out here. I had the morning free and I was inspired by this thread and my own ideas of getting a PC grow going. I am a Software Developer, Web Designer, and graphic artist by day, so I thought I would share some of my talents with my fellow PC Growers I'll never forget my first grow. It was such a cool experience. I was going through a lot of not so cool things in my life at the time, and growing really carried me through it all. I still have about 75% of the bud from that first grow that you read. Drying, curing, and storing properly has ensured that the buds are still nice and fresh to this day
Hey Onslaught. No you will want to post your grow journal in the section for Grow Journals. You can find it by going to the main "Marijuana Growing" tab. scroll down the list that loads and you will see a specific one for grow journals. I think you choose "indoor" or "outdoor." then when that page loads -- shows all the grow journals for the selected category (out or in) -- you will see a link that says New Thread in the upper left part of the page. Click that to start your journal. Once you get your grow journal started put a link in the PC grow group. I am going to head there and join now. Good luck!
got it, just what i needed to know. thanks man. I should have the journal up some time by the end of the week
Go ahead and post updates here too! I would create your own journal too for record keeping. But, a few of us have been posting our updates on this thread as well, helps with the bumps too
hey everyone, glad to see this thread is growing...as for the confusion elating to the nature of this thread, i created this thread for everyone that has a pc grow or is thinking about one...i created it in the journal section with the hopes that people who already have journals can post updates in here since they already have started them and have subscribers interested in the journal... and for the peeps out there who don't have one are more than welcome to use this as their journal...i feel this is more of a one stop shop for pc grow journals... meaning i would like to see this used as a journal / update thread so that instead of going from thread to thread to thread to see the updates from all of us we can just post em here...but like i said if you already have a journal thats cool too obviously. personally i would like to see people use this as their journal so that we can all disscuss pc grows in one place for convenience (sp) so this is more of a journal / idea / help center community =) cheers guys!!!
whats up guys i know im a lil late but its better late than never. im going to be updating some pics later on tonight p's
Day 67 (42 Days of Flowering) here i go again. shit tons of pix. i love taking pix of my girl its maintaining a 77-80F 40-50% humidity the 77 is at night time when lights are out and 80 is during light period. shes looking real good smelling even better. when i touch her she doesnt want to let go. haha. very sticky very smelly, i cant wait. i figure 2-3 more weeks before harvest. most trichs are still clear but i can see about 50% are turning cloudy. so its coming to and end. with out further ado here she is. top view Side View Tops Close Ups (xmas came early, haha, very frosty and sticky) I am still using half strength CNS17 bloom and ripe and she doesnt seem to be reacting negatively what so ever. im gonna stick with it though just incase, i dont want to fuck things up this far along, my next grow i will try starting at half strength and working my way up. Hope you all like Stay stone W. PS im not sure how often im going to be able to post in the next couple weeks. My cpu cooling fan on my laptop sounds like a fucking coffee grinder and just having it on right now is a huge risk of burning out my cpu so i need a replacement and need to do some surgery on it. so wish me luck i will be around.
always loving the pics dude! nice colas...i think yours migh turn out better than mine. =( but =) for you lol
where are ur pix bc buddy? would love to see your progression. thanks for the comments and yes for me. out of the 2 colas that are the fattest i figure once everything is said and done i will end up with about 1/2oz. not bad for my first grow. My friend from california is coming back this weekend so its time to make some money. haha.... beeds, you know, beed selling. hope to find some more beeds in this batch. stay stoned W.
Sup guys! Bored here, I want to see some pics, where da updates?!! BTW, I just bought one of them 90w UFO LED lights, it was cheap and want to try it out with combination of CFL's next grow. I wonder if I can figure out a way to get it inside a pc case LOL
I just bought it off ebay, it was about 140 bucks free ship. I bought it after doing a bit of reading on the LED posts. Tried to get the right nm ratings, etc. The specs are: * Wavelength of Red LEDs: 660nm * Wavelength of Blue LEDs: 460nm * Warm White LEDs * BridgeLux LED's Made up of 70 x 1 Watt RED LEDs, 10 x 1 Watt BLUE LEDs, and 10 x 1 Watt Warm White LEDs
Hey, can someone tell me how bad this smells? Im in a situation where id LOVE to try this, but i need it to be quiet, no light leaks, and no smell. Im in a house where there is no weed smoked, so it has to be absolutely no idea whats going on. The only way it should be found out is if someone picks up the box. How stealth are the plugs coming out of it though? Is it obvious that its not a computer? I guess it would be, but my main concern is how bad does it smell when its closed up. And if the smell permeates how can i mask it EASILY?
I have an ONA Odor blocker which kills the smell pretty well. It actually makes the area smell like febreeze or something like that. I bet if you also added a proper carbon filter it would eliminate all odor (besides working on it while the case is open). I'm not deep into flowering yet, so I dont know but some people are on their last 2 weeks like Spliff, you should get a good answer from them. As far as the light leaks, you'll need to to work on that, I just use duct tape on all the light leaking out. In terms of the back of the PC, it won't look like a PC so it depends who looks at it, if they are technically savvy or not. I would have it in a corner bottom of a desk and the back should be facing the wall so its concealed. Maybe have your real PC next to it to cover it up even more.
plex i hope your no trying to be all stealthy so that you can hideit from your parents...generally if there are other people who live there they have a right to know...if you some hoe get caught...they are all accessories..(sp) and yes i does smell...not too bad but it smells like mj in the room thats for sure. p.s. i have been reluctant to post because because my girls all suffered some pretty hardcore nute burn lol. i guess i have learned my lesson with small plants....really gotta baby those nutes...it may not show right away..but all it takes is one watering and abou 2-3 days to really see some burning. i will postsome pics for the fuck of it ina few days. the buds are really filling in...i just wnna chop it right now...but i think i gunna wait maaaayyyyybeee 1 and a half more weeks...my veggng girl is gtting too big and i dn't want too many problems with space when i flip it. im gunna guessi will get about a quarter t a half ounce later guys!
mine fucking smells like a skunk. I have 2 ona blockers and an air freshener going at all times and it smells... really good but not if ur trying to be stealthy. I had to tell my GF, she was impressed. hah! didnt expect that reaction. but yah it will smell. unless you can manage to get the case air tight and make a mini carbon scrubber. I plan on revamping my case the next time around to try and get rid of the smell. but like bc buddy said dont do it if your still living with your fucking parents, thats not ok. stay stoned W.

I am thinking of doing a PC grow, only with a 150 watt hps light. what would i have to do to keep the temps down?? I've read a lot of posts of ppl that say their temps are over 100 degrees!!!! I know i'm going to have to wire it to be a remote ballast, but what about ventilation?
