hey whats going on? i am new to growing weed and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I ordered a PC Planter Hydroponics Grow Box and 5 feminized Automatic AK 47. Neither of them have come in yet but they should be arriving soon.

This is what the PC Planter Hydroponics Grow Box gives me and says about each thing. I know its not do have the things it say like how its going to produce a 1lb of weed, but i just want to know what i should do when growing my Automatic AK 47. What I am mainly concerned with is if I should i use their nutrients and lights? And also if you could provide me with tips on how to grow this breed in this hydroponics system would be great. Thanks

I bought one of those years ago . . . set me back close to $600 jeeze now i think what a waste. But I did get a few ounces out of it, looks like the upgraded to an ONA odor block too which is good because they used to come with a cheapo o3 gen.

i just got my seeds in and am attempting to put together the system before i start germinating my seeds. i think i am going to take out my light though and maybe putting two 85 w cfls or like 3 or 4 26w cfls. anybody have any suggestions please?

hey bud. im not sure how the lights are positioned in the box but i would put them so they evenly cover the whole plant. my girl had a lot of growth in the bottom. be advised they shoot up fast in the begining so u might need to reposition the lights make sure you check her every day. i failed to do so and my baby grew right up to my bulbs and was burned which i believe stunted her growth. i was using envirolights from lowes. good luck with the grow.

okay so this system is pretty poorly built, leaks light, and is pretty loud which is not stealth at all. I ended up installing 3 cfl's with i think 5000K for vegetation and 2700K for flowering, i got grow and bloom nutrients from my local hydroponics store, and i am planning on getting some more accurate PH stuff

Okay so right now i have 1 Auto Ak on the left and 1 unknown at the right starting its germination phase (1 day) with a rock thing on top so they doesn't get the light. my nutrient level is at like 310PPM

Seriously i should have listened to everyone about not buying this system and just making it my self but i really felt more secure just buying the thing. Now i just regret it because it seems like i have to replace everything and its costing me alot more. So just make it yourself lol because you would defiantly do a better job of putting it together than they do.

What did that system cost you.(before the personal upgrade).
i bought it on ebay for like 700 plus free shipping. totally not worth it. it comes with a 50W HPS light and ballast and its just not enough light. CFL's are defiantly a way to go. The hottest it will get is up to 85 degrees with 3 CFL's in my PC Planter.
