String some cfls across in a line and then train the plant to follow that line. This is the best way to utilize your measurements. A cupboard is pretty small as well. Reflective materials like visqueen plastic live up to their potential in confined spaces like that. Id maybe throw cpu fan in there to move air around, my babies always get circulating air.

Lets hear what your gonna do

Im remodeling my bedroom and i built a computer desk with a special space spec. for a plant. i got my hands on a server fan system the has 3 53cfm fans. i would like for it to grow quick and bud quick without losing quality. Carbon filters for the smell. i only intend to grow one plant. any tips will be completely grateful as im still finsihing up all the ideas i have. pretty much just picture a comp. desk from walmart that has a cuboard just for the tower. Id say the space im working with is twice as wide as an average cupboard space. pretty much just need some direction from you vets!

Get a T-5 for lighting, keeping it an inch away from tops, and use a fan for circulation. My girls got about 20 inches in height. Check out my album. I added a 175w hps just before the 12/12 stage.

thanks man, i was looking for a small cheap light and thats for sure the one im gettin. the cheaper the better

It'll help lining the whole grow space with mylar or a white poly surface so light wont be wasted. Also try to find a good way to keep your plant a small size. Were you gonna veg your plant(s) or just put it straight into flower? I know alot of people with space issues will just start em in flower, probably wouldn't wanna go bigger then 1 gallon pot/bag. Stay away from Miracle grow soil, you'd be better off just grabbing a bag or peat moss and some perlite and making a soil-less medium. What kind of Nutrients were you planning on using? Prob some of the best advice I'd give out is wated urbangrower thats my favorite show so much great growing info, smoke and check em out

K i think im going to use a t-5 and use the idea of training it to grow along a string. Def. gettin peat moss. You think aluminum foil would be good for a lineing? and what basic chemicals would you guys recommend?And what cycles should i use for quickest harvest?

Ehh I wouldn't go the foil route , you can also use like a flat white paint. The reflection kinda makes the light bounce around better. Get some Sea Weed Extract thats good to spray on vegging plants (and during flower but not in the later weeks) What nutrients do you plan on using?

theres soooo much on this site im still trying to figure out what nutrients anf techniques that would be ideal.

I use Humboldt nutrients (Grow, Bloom and Micro, also use Verde and Big Up to give an extra kick). I did a 24 hour light cycle for about 7 weeks then went to 12/12. The length of time on your 12/12 will be specific to your plants. You'll know when their ready. Your veg cycle will be shorter because of space. Don't use foil.

I decided to go with a Computer Case grow. I plan on useing basic things as this is my first. Is 2x27w CFL's sufficant until time to flower? And what kind of insulation should i look into.

 

[Dbud]

Insulation? Why would you need that? Just stick to the basic box, lights, reflector lining and maybe a little fan for circulation. You'll be in biz. You won't get much but it's a start.

I recommend LST, im the space you have and one plant you can utilize all your space
