Cool.
I've seen that before. But I would rather get this case here. It is definitely a Cadillac system. But $700 clams for a system and I could almost buy 2 bags of grow around here. But a PC micro grow is looking more intriguing. I have my eyes on a tower server case that is taller than either system. The one you had in the link is only about 20 inches tall. I saw one 24 inches tall. 4 inches doesn't seem like a lot but it makes a difference in the yield. I read that leeting the plant grow a little taller will also yield bigger buds. Makes sense as there are more leaves to pump energy into the flower...:cool2::banana:

I'd like to try a hydroponics system but never grew using hydroponics. Will have to read some more on it...

I'd like to do a micro grow and I started germinating some bagseed. We'll give it a grow and see what happens. Rather than sit and talk about it, I think I'll get started. I was thinking about using a 105W CFL for light. I saw one on eBay that had a diamond plate reflector. That way I can hang it on chains and raise it as they grow. The PC stealth systems I saw had fixed lamps at the top. Since these are CFLs and they can almost touch the plant, I want to raise my babies as close to the lamp as possible for maximum light from the lamp. This should increase the growth on my babies. :baby: :yay:

Can one use a peat pot for hydroponics? I tried Home Depot and they didn't have rockwool. So I picked up a cute little starter set. It's like a mini greenhouse. It has six little pots. I'll let you know how it works out. My micro-grow begins...
:farm:

Thanks for the tip. I will check Goodwill around here...

hey htmagic,

The little peat pellets can work for a hydro setup but it tends to get ugly real fast....

A mini DWC would be the way i would go.... something simple like a folgers plastic coffee can. all that is needed is a hole in the top and a neoprene plug to fit tight on the stem. small 2 hose fish air pump and a couple of air stones

you will at least need a ppm meter which can go from 25 to several hundred clams I use oakton meters and find them to last a long time (many years) and cost around 80...

If you want to start a group mini grow let me know


grow on

Thanks for the offer. It looks like I might. I just picked up a case here. Now I will need a light and a small hydroponic system to fit into the PC case. Anybody know where I can get a small hydroponic system to fit into the case? I'm looking for something that measures about 8-10 inches wide and probably less than 18 inches long. Does anyone know where the fancy PC grow systems get their containers?

I was thinking about using a compact fluorescent light and I saw one on eBay here. I figure I won't have the heat buildup like the other lamps. I still will use fans and I need a good odor eliminator. Any ideas would be appreciated and considered. :batman:

And thanks for the great advice!

Cool. Like HGB said you can use coffee cans. Building a Hydro system is just as easy as buying one. Or you can use some sort of rubbermade container as well.

 

[htmagic]

Thanks. The setup looks interesting. I would like a small shallow container (like a plastic shoebox and net pots. Then add an airpump and stone and we're good to go. I have an ultrasonic transducer and was thinking about trying that. I won the case and put a bid on the CFL light that ends today so I should get those items soon. I checked the seeds (bagseed) that I germinated 2 days ago. I used a paper towel method on top of my wireless hub. I see a few swollen seeds. Looks like one or two seeds are starting to pop. I figure I have a few days before I have to plant them...

 

[htmagic]

I checked the seeds today and I see some that are cracked and/or swollen. One or two has a small tail. Is there a foolproof method to germinate seeds? I'm using a wet napkin in a baggie. The room is cool (57F) but the wireless hub is warm. Should I used bottled water rather than tap water that sat out overnight?

one of those plants in that computer case grow box shop thing looked sick as hell!!

 

[htmagic]

What was the link on the sick plant? I saw one PC grow system had a 50 watt HPS bulb and the other had a CFL lamp.

 

[htmagic]

The sickly picture I grabbed of a polish police website. They were showing off there find. They probally dont know how to take care of them.LOL

OK. I have seen that one. They were probally dry as a bone... :cry:

 

[the_riz]

^yah... sick as a dog..

besides, how could anyone, and i mean ANYONE get caught growing inside a computer case !?

 

[htmagic]

That picture is from 4Ever Sun. They show their complete system. I think the HPS lamp makes the box too hot, thus the burned plants. I like the CFL lamp as it is cooler and actually more watts. The CFL lamps I've seen are around 5000K and not the 6500K like the grow lights. But in a small case like this, does it make a difference?

 

[ChuckNorris]

say htmagic,

If you want I can pm you some links to pc tower stealth grows... some finished GJ's as well as active one

I sub to all the pc grows I can as i think there


think E-man is about to fire up shoe box size grow as well

check out his GJ for pics of the 42 watt setup

grow on

whats going on? do you still have any links to pc stealth grows trying to do it myself, Thanks

 

[Mutt]

he isn't around anymore chuck...but here's a link just ask me questions in a PM will steer ya quick to a succussful mini grow
