PC grow help

[jabajaba]

Hey guys new to the forum and I have learned so much about growing in PC cases, so far I have most of the stuff I just have a few questions

also my pc case is about 20" height and 16" in length it is going to be covered in mylar (the reflective stuff)


I plan on buying 2 x 26w 2700k CFL (flower) and 2 x 26w 6500k CFL (veg) will that do?

I am going to be using 2-3 fans and was curious about this, where do you guys plug your fans into? it can't be plugged into the power strip because the lights are going to be on there and the cycle is 12/12 so when the lights go off so will the fans, should I just connect them to the wall?

and anyone know where I could get a cheap timer for the light?

I know im new and haven't contributed to the site at all but it would be really appreciated if I could get some help here

Thanks a Bunch!!

How much bud do you expect to get from 20"X 16". It doesn't seem worth it for the trouble. Why can't you use the PC's power supply to run the fans?

use a cell phone charger for the fans, timers are about $7 from most hardware stores, i recommend digital ones as they dont seem to crap out as often

id say one plant in there only, no more, too small of an area if its 16". On the bright side, your plant will have more than enough room to grow. As for lights i would bump it to four of each. Plug your fans in outside of the case via dc power adapters, you can find tons of cheap ones on amazon if you need to buy them still, just make sure you get the right voltage and shit, 12v 1A adapters are prime. Good luck to you

One other thing, if you are not growing autoflowers in there just make sure you LST the shit out of them and don't veg for too long. If you are growing autoflowers (recommended) you won't need to LST.

Cheap timers at walmart, I have one myself and it works great. Don't remember the price, pretty sure it was under 10

thanks for the help guys do you think it would be ok if I use 2 2700 26watt cfls and 1 6500k 26watt cfl for veg and 2 6500k + 1 2700k for flower? would that work? also about LST do I put the mesh shelf in (where do I buy these?) and let the plant grow through it? or is there more to it?

and about seeds, where is a good place to purchase them? I am thinking of going with attitude seeds and buy 2-3 white widow fem is that ok for a begginers grow? thanks alot really appreciate it

suggestions for the seeds would be awesome
