PC grow case tips

[Drugcheese]

It was just an old PC that I bought back in like 2000. I only recently converted it to a grow case about a year ago. It was my first one, so it's a little chopped up. But it does work great. There is a little light leakage, but a lot of it is due to vents. If you were to put it in a closet next to an AC vent would one be fine? What if you were to put it without an A/C vent? Or does it have to have A/C vent to survive?
It's also got a little trap door on the front of the case so you can look at the plants without opening the side panel. I just finished the Mylar, but I am worried that I had to use duct tape to seal it. And I was running low so it looks a little sloppy. But only on the edges and it's still got 95% reflectivity. I wired a friend into it already and it just plugs into the little socket on the extension chord.
I've got a light bulb socket that plugs into the other side of the extension chord and you can either use a Y splitter or a large CFL bulb to light your plants. I've got a large bulb that I'll include and should be enough for you to veg and flower a couple of plants. Although, it's in the 6500k range which some people say are only good for vegging. Here are some pictures of what it looks like now, I may go out and buy some reflective duct tape to try and touch up the mylar though:

It measures (roughly) 12"x6"x14". It looks just like a PC case from the outside too, you can't tell it's a grow box unless you look at the back of it.

Include a soil tray, timer, and a few seeds as well . $50

My question is, if I can handle the mylar....how much could one produce off such a grow? from start to finish?

peace

what questions do you now have ?!?! I am at my cab too, but with a scrubber.. maybe u post the questions seperate I can't follow you ...

 

[Drugcheese]

if I can handle the mylar....how much could one produce off such a grow? from start to finish? (I know this is hard to say but let's say roughly how much)

How many plants will one casing support? 3-4 babies would be enough to cure my medical conditions...personal use...
in any case, the dimensions measures (roughly) 12"x6"x14"

Will they veg to flower within those demensions?



Anything else I need to know about?

this is my first time growing indoors, I've had very much success outdoors. I've been reading night and day about how to start an indoor grow and I still don't know If I understand.

Any help is appreciated yo

peace

thnx

Your first round will likely produce very little, maybe nothing if your temps are too high, you grossly overfert or kill the plants some other way. It's all up to your skill as a gardener, a space won't have a fixed qty that you can expect it to output. Grow something, learn from the experience, then do better next time. Don't expect to be self-sufficient from a first grow in a pc case.
Edit: I see you're an outdoor grower. Should be fine then, just make sure to go overboard with ventilation and preventing light leaks.

produce off such a grow? 5g each plant top bud dry max in see of green (looks like ATX Case) heat is important
How many plants will one casing support? I would first sog one than two of the same kind, for more you have to gain more expirence
Will they veg to flower within those demensions? I think u mean the size of the plants, use sog and bending them down

I've read a lot about micro grow in this section, you only have to find the right posts, most are 5 stars rated, others tagged with pc grow

Like bonsai says close the light leaks, Im a bit stuck there but i'll use strips in "L" form to stop the light.
Watch for the temp and you only need a passiv intake for air.

And just get to start the grow, learning by doing is the best on this dimensions of growing, maybe if its medical you should build a bit bigger one
