Okay today i didn't find the pc box, but i got some question's to make. I saw a pot and i wanted to know if is good from seed to the final stage.



Plus i was looking for some things to put in the water for nut. I wanted to know if this one will work well.



It says:
5% Fe
2.5% Mn
2.5% Cu
0.6 Zn
0.5% B
0.5% Mo
5% Mgo
4% S

And i need to disolve it in 5L of water. This is a good choise for nuts?

What attributes its needed to buy a [/SIZE]good Future PC box for grow something?

Buy a case that has a lot of vertical room. ~20"+ would be a good size, people are working with less but why not give yourself some breathing room.

About the CFL, how many i need to buy and do i need to buy the one who gives the plants "cold light" and the "Harm Light"?

Use as many lights as you can fit in your case, but don't forget to watch your temperatures. You're plants will benefit from 6500K CFL's during the vegetative stage and 2700K CFL's during the flowering stage. Alot of people run a mixture of the two lights during both stages of growth.

About the fans, how should i install them? And how many of them?

Most PC grows are fine with one or two fans. I'll be running a large fan or two, probably 120mm, pulling air out of case. I'll leave the intake passive. I'll also have a fan blowing on the lights and the top of plants to help cool the case, and the strengthen the stalk of my plants.

Be sure to checkout the Rollitup PC Gang. It's not super busy but you should be able to find some help there.

Check out your local hardware store, or electrical supply store. I haven't found anything online you can use, but I'm sure there is something.

Ye, i did it yesterday, where i was that shit was out of stock. Anyway, check out the first post in this thread and tell me if that Pot and tha nuts are good for what i want. Thanks once again. +Rep

alrite mate. what you need to do first is find your case you are going to use. the pot you have a picture of i personally think is the best style but you need to maximize as much as possible, no point using that size of pot if you could fit a bigger one in, this is wher you have to get creative, tupper ware boxes may be better for the job for examlpe, even if you cut the bottom off of a square plastic sack e.g a compost bag. power strips do work well but whats the point when you can wire your own custom light system VERY VERY easily. im pretty new to growing but i use bio bizz nutes and they are working for me, i also know first hand that Canna nutes are also very effective. basically get your case first and go from there,you cant get started without it and remember, in this cae bigger is better.

good luck .check out my thread and another by a pc grower called agreevin.

ppl haven't been too helpful on this thread have they?

for a PC case buy one on craigslist or something like that. that way it'll have a fan already (sometimes 2 or 3) make sure you ask how tall it is, 17-20" or taller is a must.(50 cm)

you'll want one or two bulbs (preferably 1 68 watt CFL full spectrum or similar b/c it's cooler. one bulb will make installation easier)

there are bulb to socket thingies at hardware stores all over the place too.... read up some threads and you'll find some cool stuff...
