Aight , check it out. This is my setup. Im doin a stealth pc done the right way. The only catch is that im doin 12/12 wit a 70 watt hps from seed in soil. soil is black gold for seeds. paper towel grem method.This is my first grow, so we’ll see how it goes. My goal is only to harvest. Im not concerned about getting large amounts (computer tower.) methods most likely LST. Rite now I got temps at 88 degrees w/ light on 70 off. Not worried about temps though, Co2 should handle it. Ill get pix up soon..

Setup:
Full size pc tower case completely gutted.
70 watt hps= 6500 lumens 2100k
1 90mm exhaust at the top
2 80mm intakes on one side
1 80mm fan blowing directly on the light

heres more f*cked up pix of the kids. i decided not to go HPS for the 1 or 2 more weeks of veg or reach 4 inches...now 3 26watt CFLs 2050 lumens each and 6500k they'll do for the stretch along with the 12/12 ill probably flower around 4 full nods....any suggestions would be great.
both had like 12 and 5 full days with HPS now on to CFLs hopefuly everything will be fine.

very nice!!! i like to see small grows with hps... most people think cfls are so much cheaper and easier... hopefully your grow goes well so people will see that hps can be used in very small grow spaces... +rep for you

heres sum update pix for this lil project. i mean if i were to concentrate on this grow probably would have a nice yield. but its only a project grow. i mean seriously they r barely 1.5" maybe kuz the amount of light. maybe too much light is not good in a really small area. suggestions please. y r they so small. 1.5" tall 1.5" wide. PC is barely 1 square foot 22"Tx30"Lx10.5w, temps good soils good ph 6.5, 3 intakes 1 exhaust, 70watt HPS, plants sit maybe 13" away from my light. ANY SUGGESSTIONS WOULD B GREAT... i kno the fotos look weird with the color n all i jus kant figure out the mag glass yet. very tricky.
