PC Case Lowryder GROW

Great pics. The fan looks like a real neat job and the temps speak for themselves. I'm jealous as fuck
Hard to find any faults but if I'm being picky I'd prolly put some rubber around the U-bolt as it's pretty close to the contact metal on the tube, just to be on the safe side.
I've read a few things that suggest cfl's put out the best light at the end of the tube, so a 45 degree reflector at the end of the bulb should help to point that down. I just use a triangular tube of carboard stuck in the top corner of the case with some mylar on the side facing down into the case.

yo V,

good idea for the triangle reflector. i made one and covered it in panda film. i also made a vent hood for the top that i will be using some sort of black silicone to hold it on. did another 12 hour test run, temps never got above 79!!!1 freakin great. ill worry bout smell issues later on. im not gunna be growing til january again i just wanted to get this thing done. i'll post pics in a week when i get back from hunting in colorado.

peace bro

I just stumbled on your thread. +rep for an excellent 1st pc case grow. I just started my own pc grow box. I hope I can get some similar results. I bought the same case as you, but I added a 70 Watt HPS along with the cfl's it came with. I added a fan in the corner to knock the heat down and it pushes the hot air towards the exhaust fans, so mine stays right at 80 degrees, which should be ok. Mad props to you though!

man i have just sat here and read this whole thing and its legit dude props for sure ... im in the same situation your in and i am gonna try one of these grows during the semester ... would i come out cheaper if i just built my own cpu grow box??? i want the same design you have now ... a few more questions if you don't mind ... what brand of nutrients did you use? what does flushin do and what is mollasses?

thanks man this shit was great ill hollar when i start my grow

yo sidewinder-case looks good man good luck with the grow hit me upw ith a link when you get it going.



yo wo, i used flora nova nutes. flushing removes all the excess chemicals from nutes fromt he plant, makes it a better tasting smoother smoke. mollasses is like sugar you can get it at any grocery store

peace

suscribed +rep

anybody else have any comments/suggestions for the new box setup?

peace

just read the whole thing... great grow.. you should try LR#2 next tym.. much better yield and potency... anyway, im subscribing.. keep us posted man.. peace

haha you like? thats great yea just grabbed some dvd cases from round the house

just read your whole thread as promised and i am really impressed with what the case allowed you to do...i needed a wider pc case.. mine was skinny as fuck.... i say you could have lst'ed a lil more, but you know that as you mentioned... i bet it must be hard not really being in control or even certain of how much veg time... i'm vegging my next go round a lil more... like i did this last 12/12 and i think i will proly veg the next go round for about a month... month and a half or so... i know it will increase my yeild... just curious as to how much... one question, i though you got 1 male and 3 fems... was the runt a male? if you said it was, i dont recall it... i just wasnt sure if you gave up on it since it was a runt, or it was a male.. sorry bout the rambling.. i am about to have to go get stoned... peace and let me know when you get another thread going...

yeah man, i understand... but with it being a pc grow, do you think you could just throw it in your closet and let it do its thing? just wondering... i understand if you cant... at least your learning shit in the mean time...

i could, when the first grow was going on my dad came to my apt and visited for a day while the lights were off and it was a foot from him, granted they were a week old and had no smell, but still he had no idea he thinks its just an old comp case a friend gave me lol. i could try to get away with it but my parents have no idea i smoke and id like to keep it that way lol.

peace brotha

i totally understand.. i doubt i would have grown at home (parents house) either... not that they didnt know i smoked, because they did... but its pretty disrespectful to the parents... if i had a kid growing some bud in my house and i didnt know about it, i would be pretty pissed... not because they were growing, just because they didnt tell me... i dunno, i guess i will deal with that when the tyme gets here... did plants put out alot of smell when they were flowering? my one micro palnt didnt really put off too much of a smell..cept like the fresh green garden sorta smell... not like a weed smell... at least not to me, but i do blow down in muh house alot, so maybe that is why i didnt notice it... whatever is clever homie...
