70w Hps Jack Herer PC Grow DWC

Hello everyone, I've been planning an attic op but the temps are unreasonable so I've built a summer time stealth grow case.

I'll be growing in an old gutted Antec Lanboy. I used mylar and foil tape to cover the inside. Ventaliation consists of a 120 and 80mm fan running off a 7.4 cell charger. The rear exhaust is an 12v Antec 3 speed fan set on high. I made a diy air scrubber using a 2" net pot inside of a 3" surronded by carbon and tied off with pantyhose. The light is a Keystone 70w high pressure sodium external ballast, igniter and Pulserite bulb (6400 lumens). I mounted the ballasts outside of the case for temps, the bulb is sitting inside a custom cooltube (glass hurricane shade for candles) with two 80mm fans cooling it. Temps are steady 75f humidity is around 35%. My res is a rubbermaid 6qt tubberware container that's been spray painted white and covered with foil tape to light proof it. My pump is 23w and bought at a local pet store. The two airstones are Sunleaves Oxygen.

I will using 24/0 until i get growth then switch to 12/12. I will be LSTing, fimming and scrogging.

5/27
I placed Miss Herer in between two plates and a moist paper towel. I set her ontop of my receiver. Today I checked it to find a nice tap root poking its way into the world. I placed a growdon cube into PH'd (5.5) R/O water and added a drop of Root66 (~60ppm). After soaking it I planted Miss Herer. Temps are at 75 all is looking great.

Today she's poking through and looking good. I added 1/10th of a tea spoon Great White to my res get some beneficial bacteria rolling in there.

Thanks for stopping by I'll update later :wave:.

Had a security breach and am relocating. Next grow has to be in soil as I can't find a quiet pump/air stone combo. I'll be growing an unknown lowlife seed, i bought a lowlife mix. Thanks all for the support. I'll update in two weeks.

Have you thought about going passive hydro, rather than soil? I was recently in the same situation as you, couldn't find a quiet enough air pump for my stealth grow. As such I switched to hempy buckets and haven't looked back - I doubt I'll ever go back to dwc tbh. Don't have to worry about noise, air lines clogging, air stones breaking, pump breaking - it really simplifies matters considerably.

Here's the official hempy thread: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=98419 if you want to look into it some more

Good luck!

Never tried it myself but like you say seen good results.. and thought if you wanted to do Hydro maybe Coco would be a good alturnative.

I wish you the best of luck.. your box looks ace!

Thats a shame man, shit happens. Pump/airstone combos are rarley quite ops, even tiny things hum etc etc. Hanging airstones & pumps with fishing line & Bungie rubber is prolly a bit of an issue in a microcab! Id go Coco personally, i wish you luck man! ;)

So today i walked into the room that's got my grow case and i can smell Miss Herer releasing aromas. My Carbon filter was failing. Turns out the fault was mine as the carbon wasn't packed in and it basically slumped to the bottom of the pot leaving an exposed air gap. I repacked it fixing the odor.

lots of side growth and more LSTing. I'm starting to see the first pistols coming in and she keeps on growing.

Gratz on the grow!

I can fit one plant nicely with some wiggle room. I have about three inches until it grows into the cooltube. The cooltube is cool to the touch so the plant won't burn by touching it.
