Hello, this is my first time ever build i will first describe it a little
WHAT I USED:
-Old Pc Case 43cm(17 inches)
-2x Akasa 120mm fans one for intake and another for outtake
-Nokia Adapter FTW :)
-Random strain seeds picked from weed (experimenting)

Cycle: 18/6 for veg. (few weeks) 12/12 for flowering.)------------------------------> Thx to greengrowthexpert
Lights: 23w 6500k for veg and 23w 2700k for flowering)-----------------------------> Thx to greengrowtheexpert

I would really appreciate your help i want the plant to be small so im going to use the LST method + what cycle should i use for the first few weeks? and later im going to do 12/12
The box is still not finished since some parts of the plastic were broken.. Tommorow i will go and buy some black tape, glue, close all the leaks.... etc.
and im going to add alu foil cause i think it's a great reflective source, clean the vents.
What can i do about the smell is a Carbon filter good?
VIDEO HERE OF WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR!
I MOUNTED THE VENTS WITH SOME CORDS SO THAT?S WHY THERE MIGHT BE VIBRATION NOISE :)

Another exhaust fan is a definite. Im 4 weeks into flower no smells great looking buds though so a carbon filter isn't really necessary depending on your strain.

6500k cfls for flowering and 2700k for flowering. Also, I bought my seeds from highgrade-seeds.com if your looking for a low odor strain, I bought white russian but they have alot of strains & decent prices.

anything else?

Veg for two weeks, make sure you lst the shit out of it too, using bagseeds could result in a sativa dominant strain growing tall and lanky. Never know. Just hope for the best basically, I use ebay, I bought adapters that plug right into the strip then I use magnets to hold the strip to the pc case. And I believe I use 23w im not sure not home at the moment can't check, but ill let you know.

18/6 or 24/0 it doesn't matter. I do 18/6. Yes they sell sockets to plug into power strips. look at ebay.. look at grow room design and set up and look at the best deals thread for good deals.
