How To Build A Pc Grow Box
- Thread starter johny112
- Start date
Hey mate, another question for you, the top side of my case on the outside gets very very warm, is that ok? or am doing something wrong? Reflective coat feels fine. Also the green wire for the power bar atm is just wrapped with the soldered red/black wires, reading ur posts should i do something different with that green wire?

If its were the lights are it should be fine, the lights are just probably too close to the top. If you want to you can move them back but thats up to you. Mine also gets a little warm but not much. The green wire from your power strip you can just cut it off and just tape it off if you want. The box already has a ground wire from its power box so itll be fine.
eeek god man no! sativas grow slowly and hugley, what you want for a small space is preferably an indica 1st choice and dominant indica hybrid second choice. Sativa>Indica in size.
Wattage should not matter, have a close look at my psu, its only the back panel, there is a tutorial on this entry(page 1), on how to disassemble ur psu and rewire it to a powerbar, honestly before this project I had never done any wiring nor even touched a soldering iron, its that easy. FYI i was high as a kite, just remember red-red black-black and green taped up. I am still alive and all the lights fans work, but what it allows u to achieve is, 6 lights, 4 fans, 1 power plug from back of case. Saved me many headaches, like how do i get power cord and adapter cord out of the case and still maintain stealth with all this wiring.
side note: when doing my fans some cables where blk/white and black, in this instance solid black goes to red, blk/white goes to black.

That would be cool, making it look like a stand and it would give you alot more room.

The one on your pc is all you need.
maybe, maybe not, not cause of wattage but cause of fan location, top vs back

hell ya
)When i made my first pc grow box, i looked on youtube and all for a good video to show me how to clean it out wire it and all. I couldnt find a good one so i just made it and took me a while on how to figure it out. Since the one i made was kinda small, so i got a bigger pc and recorded it and uploaded it to see if i can help anyone out. So i hope it helps some out. if i missed anything let me know and ill see if i can help out. I recorded it myself so its a little rough. I skipped somethings so if you need me to elaborate let me know. Happy growing
This was exactly what I needed, thank you so much

is there anyway possible to get the "cage" off without using the drill bit. ive started buildin a box and this is where im stumped. i dont have the proper tool for this part and neither does anyone i know and i need to get my seedlings in a box ASAP! this will be my first grow
Hey mate, I had a drill but no manly experience lol. you can use a screwdriver and a hammer. just be careful on the pot rivets in the center. But really as simple as line up the pot rivet with the screwdriver head and tap the screw driver with a hammer, the screw driver should pop right through. Good luck with it.
