Let me just say that this is a first for me, I do not know anything about growing so any advice would be great. My pc is 20 inches high, 8 inches wide and 17 inches deep.

I have 3 cfl bulbs 5500k, 100 watts, at 1400 lumens each running 24/7 until they reach a few inches and then I plan to switch over to my 2700k soft white bulbs. For fertilizer I'm using a half of a tsp of MG nursery select water soluble 20-20-20 per gallon of distilled water with a ph of around 6.0. There are (2) 3 inch pc fans, one blowing in and the other blowing out, also have (1) 5 inch fan blowing in. There is (1) submersible pump bringing water to the plants and (1) air pump connected to an air stone at the bottom of the tub.

Note, I really don't have a clue as to what i'm doing. I'm just fed up with paying out the rear for green, I plan to grow for myself only. Also, the three plants will not remain in that single pot. This is my trial run with bag seed.

imho since youre growing in a tiny pc youre wasting space by going hydro.. but who knows maybe itll produce some dank.

yeah, I ordered a 24 inch tall tower off ebay and they sent me one that was 20 inches instead. Since I already purchased the equipment I decided to go forward with it anyway.

Ive seen some dank buds come from a 160z party cup man so im sure its possible to get some good smoke from ur rig. looks good.. you should start a grow journal. losts of micro/pc growers here.

Thank you, I also purchased led panels for additional lighting but since I was sent the wrong case they wouldn't fit. I may just buy a Rubbermaid storage tub and redo everything.

damn man ur just having all kinds of bad luck.. You should really just take a few days and think it through really well and come up with a definate plan so you dont keep changing/wasting money.. Do you have an old dresser etc you can hollow out? If not you could prolly get one cheap at a goodwill etc.. The rubbermail idea is good.. There are alot od DIY threads on how to make em..Can you return the LEDS? From what I understand, there really not that good anyway.

Peace

What is the rate of growth I can expect, the seedlings have the first set of leaves but vertical growth seems really slow.
