Neat MicroPC growbox with FLUOROS - Micro Grows - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Snider · 08-04-2006, 09:09 AM

Sup dudes?

I am proud to present you all with my very first grow.

I thought a growbox would be necessary cause all I can get in my country is bad schwag. And it's noy my style to hit bad neighborhoods to get dope and get caught by the cops or even get whacked by the dealers. It's dangerous. Plus, the feeling of growing your own ladies has been with me since I first saw a 6ft mj tree

I read a lot of stuff from Overgrow till it died. Will miss it.

This case has been built with the help of a close friend, and this should be metioned. It would never happened without him.

I have limited space. I live on my own and I need it to be stealth.
I like pics, will post lots of them.

This case is 2ft tall (62cm), 17in long (43cm) and 7,5in wide (19cm). We tried to build it with less add ons as possible, to catch attention of no one, so you will see I have almost nothing hanging outside of it.

For now only 2 fluoros are on. They are both 25watts and 2700k color temp.

Could not find mylar yet. So my friend brought me one of those polyester blankets. It's almost the same as mylar, but it comes folded.

I also have this digital thermometer and I taped the sensor right close to the plants.

When all the lights are down in the room, this is how it seems:

This fan is fixed using the same screws that fix the lamps. It's placed where it can exaust the heat from the lamps.

This is messed up, but will be arranged so there will be less wires exposed.

This is the front side seen from the inside:

I have a HD cooler on the top bay of the case that can throw air in. There's another bigger fan a few inches below that can be turned on later to cool the plant.

There are 4 rails on each edge of the case, so I can have a SCROG going up and down whenever I want:

I am growing bagseed, so I can learn and then buy some other good stuff.
I have 3 seeds planted right now, but only one seems to be promising.

#1

#1 5 days ago

#2 started growing first, but then it stopped. Cant tell if it's dying cause it's not falling or changing colors yet.

#3 is just for the kicks. Dunno what it is.

Well I am a noobie when it comes to growing. I am willing to hear every good advice I can get and follow it.
Please write anything you think about my setup or grows.

Pics were take from a SonyEricsson K750 (fkn great phone).
I might have left something out cause I am high on mj and beer.

WAITING TO HEAR FROM YA DUDES!
Thank YOU!

Use 6" Terracotta pots! Perfect size for 2 of them!

Saabotage · 08-04-2006, 09:16 AM

Ohh, also you can move those lights down to about 1/2 inch above the plants!-

What are those greenish blue rocks/crystals? I was just wondering because they look like those dry crystal ferts.

Snider · 08-04-2006, 10:02 AM

Sparkling: which plant number?

Saabotage: check this out

I am missing an higrometer.

Sparkling · 08-04-2006, 10:15 AM

The #2 but it looks like some in the #3 too?

Snider · 08-04-2006, 10:30 AM

Cant really tell maaaan.

Think it's just 'hair'. I am not even sure #3 is MJ plant.

Case from outside with room lights on.
