Well guys its that time again. Time to get out the ole dusty PC. This PC is 27" tall 8" wide and I think 31" deep. Any ways this grow is going to include alot of LST and a decent amount of topping. So let me break it down for you guys and give you all the specs.
LIGHTS
I am going to be using CFL all the way through. Going to start off with 4 6500k daylight CFLS. They are all 26w. Then when I switch her to flower going to be switching them all over to the 2700k soft whites to finish up the job. The lights are going to be stationary and are not going to be moved at all this entire grow.
MEDIUM
Going to be using fox farm ocean forest mixed with a bit of Geo Humus. I would say probably 5% humus to soil.
NUTRIENTS
Going to be using GH Flora nova series.
VENTILATION
When I got the PC tower there were already 2 working fans in it. I turned them on and ran my lights for a full day and temps were getting into the high 90s. So what I did is went to radio shack and purchased one 4" computer fan and one 3" computer fan. I also had to get an AC to DC adapter. Which they had right there at radio shack I got a 1 amp adapter and that is efficient enough to run bot of my fans at full blast. Normal temps are around 82 with the lights on.
STRAIN
DNA genetics Sour Cream cannabis seeds are the best of both worlds with the classic Haze taste mixing with the high yield of Sour and G13. We don't know why anyone would pass DNA Genetics Sour Cream up, it's a Haze plant with a difference, having Sour nugs all over her and produces a heavy yield. The original Sour Diesel cutting was used, in combination with the G13 Haze cannabis seeds to bring Sour style buds with haze flavour. It is a Sour Creamy blend of Sativa with a dash of Indica. This DNA Sour Cream has an amazing mix of Haze n' Sour!
I have never grown this strain my self and the seed was given to me by a good friend of the families. Hope its a female!!! Cause I only have this one.
CONCLUSION
Most of you all probably already know me. But for those of you that dont just figured I would let you know this is going to be a fun grow to watch. So go get your chair and your bong and start takin some rips to the dome piece. STAY HIGH!!!

P.S. Seed just cracked about an hour ago. So I will post an update when I see some green. I am also going to throw 1 picture in there from my last PC grow.

Hey guys. I decided to germinate 2 seeds. The Sour Cream from DNA Genetics and I also germed a Fem BlackJack seed from Nirvana. I will be growing the Black Jack in the PC if the sour cream is not a female. If it does turn out to be a female I think my Stealth cabinet will be empty and I can put the Black Jack in there. Any ways I too the seeds and put them in rapid rooters and also put them in small starter pots. Will be putting the one I am going to keep into the big pot I have in the OP. STAY HIGH!!!001.jpg002.jpg003.jpg

Yo penjayo, awesome grow box. One thing, are you sure you want to use sour cream? It has 11+ weeks of flowering, and grows very tall. I'm growing it right now but its a seedling as well. What cha think?

Hey man thanks for stopping by and checking it out. As for am I sure I want to this? I don't know. I don't have any other seeds. Other than the black jack. But they are both medium height. If you click on my sig for the black jack you can see they get huge. I don't know what's going to happen. I think I will be able to manage no matter what tho. Once it hits the LST rack I am going to start training. After the back shoots start to get taller than the rack I am Goin to top all of then. So that is going to stunt the back shoots and I will just continue tying down the top. I am pretty sure I will manage. Thanks again for stopping by. STAY HIGH!!!

Looks good man. It's not really the size of the plant that's a problem but the amount of flowering time. I think you would be better off going with Jack. Sour cream rarely finishes before 11 weeks. I've seen it go for 14 weeks. Reconsider the flowering time... If you check out my avatar, I have multiple strains growing straight from seed, no veg. They get big. I topped half of them and the other half are going straight into finish.
 
Looks good man. Thinking about finding a setup like this. Interesting. Dumb question... but where can you get those plug in thingys for the light bulb so you can attach the bulbs to the strip???

Thanks for the concern. But really I am not worried about flowering time because I have another bigger grow that is going on at the moment and this one is just going to be for all fun. Check out the big black jack in my sig. STAY HIGH!!!

Thanks bro. I haven't been able to look around too much. The only CFL's I can find in the 6500k range are 12w... which is peanuts. Need to make a trip to walmart and pick up some stuff here quick... maybe start putting together a good PC box together and have a pet project while I decide on how to roll with it in a bigger way :)

Yeah man just keep looking around. I have found out the smaller the bulb is the hotter it will get. For example I had 26w 2700k soft whites. And my buddy went and got some 26w soft whites that the spiral bulb was a bit skinnier. His burned hot to the touch while I could grab mine as they are on and it's just like they are warm while his would burn you. So get the biggest bulbs if you have issue with heat. STAY HiGh!!
