hey everyone
im a second time grower but first time indoor. iv been reading about growing for about 3 months now maybe even 4 and im pretty sure i know everything i need to know to produce some decent buds but i was looking for a second opinion from someone who knows what really there doing. i recently stumbled apon a pc box with no guts in it and turned it into a grow box. i have 2 sprouts growing right now and i was looking for some tips or suggestions. i posted some pictures of my setup, take a look and tell me what u think... ~Organic ~hey again just wanted to post an update and see if anyone can possibly help. i increased the ventilation and im now using one 26 watt cfl and one 15 watt cfl and my grow box is at a steady 82 degrees, i just want to know if im using enough light and if my temp is too high.... any suggestion please and thank u Last edited by Organic MJ 420; 09-04-2009 at 11:55 AM..

i know all about low stress training, i read alot about it. i have 2 14 watt bulb in now and i have 2 26 watt bulbs, i didnt use them cuz it was up to 90 degrees F with the 2 higher watt bulbs. should i use to the 2 26 watt bulbs or 1 14 and 1 26? or what?
glad i found someone who is growing with a pc box as well.... |

yeah i noticed my box was heating up higher than 90 with 26w. i have a tiny grow space.
but if you use the 26w and 14w check the temp if its higher than 78 u should try adding an additional exhaust fan. if that doesnt work 3-4 14w bulbs can work as well. oh and you should try mixing your light spectrums. it benefits the plant during veg. if you want to see my box: WORLDS smallest pc grow |

i just put in one of the 26 watt bulbs and left one 14 watt to see how it does temp wise and i increased the exhaust fan for better ventalation. u said urs was higher than 90 degrees at one point... what happened and were ur plants ok or what? if its around 86-88 degreees will that be ok or is that bad?

i tested these temps before i even planted her. but i really think 80-89 is a bit to high. marijuana can survive temps of up to 100 but this puts a whole lot of stress..
is your pc box in an open area? if it is try pointing a rotating fan towards it. see if that helps |

thats probably what my problem is. its not in a open area, its in a computer desk cabinet. i have to keep it in there locked up so no one can mess with it. there is a hole in the side of the cabnet to run wires through that i covered up so no light can escase but i will unplug the hole and see if the temp drops at all
