attitude im soo stoked on my pc boxes

LOL

hows your grow setup coming along

the setup is movin along still acquiring all the components (gotta go to michaels to get a candle chimney T_T) i figure i got the weekend to shop and a week to build/test before that international shipment arrives

true good luck man keep us posted

im not gonna lie v12xjs you got me doubting whether the 70w hps will do the job, im only looking to grow 2 lr2's in my pc but im aiming for 1oz each should step up to a 150w? or would that just transform my pc into an inferno, maybe 70 this time around

Much depends on the level of stealth you need to maintain LOLsauce.
If you can leave the side off the pc then cooling isn't an issue. If smell and light would get you rumbled then you have some work to do. Those LR2's stink like crazy.
The hps lamps have a separate ballast and if you are handy with electrics you can detach them and put them outside the case which would really help with temps.
I guess the perfect scenario would be 2 70 watters with the ballasts removed. All the light with a better spread than a 150 and less heat than a single 70.
If removing the ballast is a problem then maybe just get a couple of household bulb holders and fit some small cfl's.
Whatever you do, you should look into LST or ScrOG as these are good ways to maximise yields in small spaces.
Just give me a yell if you want any help when you get the kit.

yeah what ima end up doin is goin to home cheapo and buyin one of the lil 70 watters they got there for $50 and just tear it down to basics and stick the bulb ina cooltube i got from michaels like 9 inches long by 4 in diameter. id really like to keep this as cheap as possible so maybe ill get one light this round and another like 70watt mh to double up and alance the spectrum for the next grow. in terms of stink ima do a diy carbon scruber and if all goes well stick it on the end of the cooltube so itd be carbonfilter->pc fan->cooltube->electrical cavity w/balast->exit pc fan. the case must be shut and can smell a lil but i cant be stinkin up houses. if i build it, heat is good with the filter and i have spare cash maybe ill go 2 bulbs now.... but idk i still need to get the air pump/stones and res

i have a 70 watt hps in a little pc and it is working great. it is 1 plant but is scrogged to fill the whole thing. . 1 small pc fan for outtake at the top and the temps and humidity stay at 72 degrees and 30%.

Hats off to you if you get a decent harvest from the 70w past times. It isn't something I ever managed to do. I'm sure BTK3ill and LOLsauce would be most interested in more info / pics of your setup and harvest, as would I.
Don't forget however that both these guys are growing an autoflowering strain.

i dono if anyone is curious but i FINALLY have all the components purchased/assembled, the hps hurts my eyes BAD and the pc fan i got is 3k rpm and even with a carbon filter, has more than enough force to vent the bulb especially with a cooltube. next up is mounting the electronics on the back of the pc, building the walls and lastly hanging the light/cooltube

note: assembling all this shit is MAD TIREING, at this point i know why pcgrowcase is in buisness but hopefully all the effort pays off ^_^
