So this will be my first Micro Grow attempt in a pc case. This is also my first "real" post so bear with me.
I got a mid-sized pc case with dimensions: 16.5" Deep, 7" Wide, and 16" Tall. This will be my vegging box. I gutted it completely, sorry I didn't get pictures of all of that real fun process! (my post count is low so my pictures are lousy anyway)
The idea is to grow 6 seedlings in here with hopes of getting 2 or 3 females to do a scrog in my bigger case.
The case I just scored for flowering is 16" Deep, 8" Wide, and 24" Tall. Still brainstorming ideas on how it is gonna be set-up. Not to mention the gutting process is taking forever, it's an old tower and has spot welds rather than rivets.
Here's a few pics of the vegging box running:
This is the front of the case with fake cd drive and 3.5" floppy drives glued in. The lights are on inside and you can't see any light escaping.
The power supply area and the pci slot area is plastic hobby screen with nylons wrapped around them to block out light. As you can see, with the lights on, you can see no light.
The grow area is big enough to hold 6 4" fiber pots. From this angle you can see the 2x26 watt floros, the 3" exhaust fan and the big intake hole in the front of the case. Unfortunately, these pictures are horrible and it does nothing to show off how bright this box actually is.
Here's a better shot of the intake. It is plastic hobby screen with a carbon pad in the front of it to block out all the light. At the front of the computer, there is a big intake area under the front of the faceplate and if you put your hand there, you can feel the air flowing in pretty good.
Here's a shot of the cubby area I use to exhaust the air. The screen in the bottom is covered with nylon and the power supply area is also covered. Surprisingly, no light leaks from either area.
More to come!
