Quick no picture update. I will be cutting her down today 
Promise I will have pictures ASAP! Before and After of course
Im glad I could help and any other questions you have I will try my best o answer them. Well the one case that I started in is lightproofed like crap... Its pretty much not light proofed at all. But the second one I am working on a little still is just lightproofed by how I built it. But carbon filters over the fans work wonders and pretty much hide all light.
Promise I will have pictures ASAP! Before and After of course Awesome! I will let you know soon when my next grow starts. I will have a link in here. Debating still which to grow. I want to start the Blue Widow, but I only have one of those and I have more Church and Himalayan gold.... Hmmmmmm

Yeah check out the FAQ im sure there is some there, or just google search... I know I have found so many differnt ways to make one. Just all depends on your grow. As long as you got that 90 degree bend I believe you will be fine.
Haha I get even more ideasThanks man, so obvious! I need to cut down on the

Did a little trimming of the bigger nugs today. Left all the popcorn buds on. got 15.5g wet of white rhino right now drying Not that much, but much more rhino then last time and in a smaller place too!
I will get some better pictures up soon, just wanted some eye candy for everyone

Haha if I could make this bigger I could do some damage. Maybe someday, but for now I will keep to my micro growing. My goal is to get an ounce from a plant in a computer case.
It smells.... Kind of skunky I guess. Whatever the smell is it can be pretty strong, but a carbon takes care of it. It definitely has a distinct stinky smell
For some reason though I think that it isnt actually white rhino that Nirvana gave me the wrong seeds because of how purple it gets. But oh well, whatever it is its good. I can compare it to what I usually smoke. I would say 3 or 4 hits of normal green is equal to 1 hit of this "white rhino"
Its really tasty too, ill get a smoke report once dried and cured again. My goal is to ge a quad dry, I think I may come close if the popcorn buds weigh anything haha.

First off that was a while ago... Thats been harvested. And also, I only taped one small small nug because I had no other way to hang it and i only taped the stem. So explain to me what I did wrong?
Also, I started a new grow, Himalayan Gold and The Church. Stop by the new grow journal and check it out:

Wow! Well I just read this entire thread over two days. Seeing you go through all those trials and tribulations was inspiring. Did you ever figure out why the first few rhinos didn't make it? Was it just the nitrogen deficiency?
I've started a PC grow as well using bag seed. After reading your thread I feel a lot more comfortable doing it! I'm extremely impressed with your results using three 23 watt CFLs as that's what I'm using too!
Off to check out your next grow now!

Quite impressive you read the whole thing, I cant imagine how long that would take, but I have done it, I have read so many journals... You just get locked in to them. Yeah I wish I had gotten it down, and not had to do so many trials.
Actually I think the problem was in the soil. Some sort of nutes were stunting them becuase I had everything else right. ANNND I can see the nutes in the soil taking place again because of my new grow failing and stunting. Doing the same exact thing.
So my overall learning experience would say that something in the perlite or peatmoss has a nute in it. I will no longer be using either of these and if I do, I will go buy a new bag and differnt brand.
Yeah, growing in a PC is fun, it just sucks that I have faced so many walls, and almost stopped me from getting an results, but I will get past that all and have a perfect grow one of these days. I do not give up, haha.
Thanks for reading it all though, I hope I have helped you enough to get everything going perfect.

hey joe could you take some pictures of ur new setup with the carbon filter and everything ? also does it make very much noise?

I dont have a carbon filter on the newest pc case, but I will take some pictures of the setup again, i know did somewhere in this thread, but I dont know when.
It is really quite, you really cant hear it at all. You would have to focus on finding a noise if you wanted to, but other then that its great. I will be getting a carbon on it shortly if I dont get my bigger space setup. But either way the case wont go unused.

Phew, just finished reading the whole thing, it sure was a lot of learning! Took some 5 days reading here and there, just like a book. Great that you didn't give up on them, it sure paid out!
I'm currently on a test run of a grow box, 2 x 2 x 4 with adjustable 4 59w CFLs, but I plan on putting some 4 more 23w's once I started flowering the weirdest pack of plants one has ever tried to tame. They grew in a kind of vase outdoors from seeds of plants that grew there before, but there just happened to be a freaking TREE growing there too, so some plants were completely stunted in the shade while others reached 2 feet (with some 2 to 6 inches of stem going between nodes!) when I topped them for some half dozen clones.
I'm vegging them for some time to learn the ropes of nutes and lights, your thread have and will sure help! I had to tie the 2 tall plants down, ended up bending the stems in the process, but it seems the plants handled it. Three other average sized plants are looking shitty, very long stems from the base to a small cola, but the have some potential. Clones took forever to pick up, no such thing as rooting hormone to be found in supermarkets or even gardening shops around Brazil, perhaps in capital cities. One clone seems to be dying for good, two have exploded in growth this week, and two are, well, alive. Just gave them some vegging nutes yesterday, so I'll wait at least some 10 more days until I start flowering, I guess I'll have a (very) little something to celebrate late January.
Planning on getting some NL for a fresh new grow, but I might just go with bagseed and use the cash to pimp the box a bit... Temps will not get under 85-90 with lights on, and it's NIGHT -- well, summer night, but I've seen things go past 110F with lights on in the afternoon, that's why they now get a rest from 1 to 7 pm. Well, that's what I get for setting up a grow in a box under a ceramic tile roof! Maybe it's time to think of another room to hide that in.
Guess I turned wide on the bable, but it's just the excitement of seeing a great grow and thinking how I can get things to work around here. I might start a journal with the fresh grow, hope the CFLs do me good!
