    My first grow, decided on a PC setup.

    Well you made me feel a little better! lol I did pre-water the soil, just enough where water started to come out the bottom drainage holes. Did you cover yours with plastic until they came up?

    My first grow, decided on a PC setup.

    Hey guys, Should I be freaking out like I am right now? Lol The seeds have been in the dirt for a little over 48 hours now and no signs of them above the surface. Is this normal? When is the point where you should consider them a failure? I am probably jumping the gun, but I thought for sure...

    Converting a dresser in to a stealth grow box

    Hey man what type of lights are you going with? I would recommend going with at least 120mm fans, a good amount of them, and make sure they are all getting a full 12V power to each of them to run at full power. Better overkill than "underkill," right?

    Converting a dresser in to a stealth grow box

    I actually think that dresser would work really well. I am no expert, on my first grow in fact, but the old holders for the drawers along the side would work awesome for adjustable shelving up and down to get your plants near your light. Get some reflection going on the inside with some fans and...

    Reflective materials

    I used a car windshield reflector and cut it up and glued it in my case as I needed. $1.99 at Walmart! :)

    My first grow, decided on a PC setup.

    Not sure on my Nutes yet, going to need some advice on those as well. Alright guys, so I just got them in the soil and under the lights in their red solo cups! Successfully germinated 2 Critical Kush seeds, and they had a nice little root on them before I threw them in the soil. I found some...

    My first grow, decided on a PC setup.

    Hey guys another update. I soaked two of my Critical Kush seeds last night and just moved them into the damp paper towel with both of them already showing a sprout, so I think I am good. Having said that...I NEED SOIL! Going to definitely have to go get it in the morning and plant these bad...

    My first grow, decided on a PC setup.

    Hey guys just a little update... My seeds came already! Holy crap, BIG UPS to Attitude Seeds for coming through so fast! I placed my order on the 1st of this month, and they were in my mailbox waiting for me this morning! Came in a nice discreet cheap wallet lol. I practiced germinating seeds...

    My first grow, decided on a PC setup.

    Hey thanks for the shot of confidence, I hope it goes well. As far as for the medium to grow, yes, soil it will be. My reasoning behind that is because if I think I don't know what I am doing with soil, well, I REALLY don't know what I am doing with Hydro lol. As far as the strain goes, it...

    My first grow, decided on a PC setup.

    My seeds are still on the way...the time from now until they get here is going to kill me, not to mention the lack of good herb to smoke on around where I live right now lol. Ugh. I have a question about Veg time and lights and need some thoughts. Wondering if I should go 24 hour lights on...

    My first grow, decided on a PC setup.

    Thanks, I am getting excited with anticipation! So maybe you can answer this for me...when exactly is considered Veg period? Like when do I start counting the days it is in Veg? The day the seed goes in the dirt? The day it sprouts and shows leaves? I can't seem to find a clear answer.

    My first grow, decided on a PC setup.

    Hey guys! I posted about my first grow in another section of the forums, but I am brand new here and didn't know there was a section devoted completely to micro-grows, so I am going to post here with the hopes of some help along the way. Now I know the PC growbox debate can get heated, and lots...

    PlantsAreNeat: My First Grow (micro)

    Damn, now I am a little worried, but that weed does look amazing lol. Well the seeds are already on their way so that is what I will be going with I guess!

    My first harvest, part two!!

    Just curious, what were the dimension of that case you used?

    PlantsAreNeat: My First Grow (micro)

    The closet is sounding more and more promising. I got the same strain of Kush that you grew in some of your pics I have seen, and I am wondering about the smell. Super stinky? Stinky? Not bad?

    PlantsAreNeat: My First Grow (micro)

    This is probably a stupid question lol but that is only one plant per pot right? Forgive my ignorance. What do you do for ventilation? With my setup it would literally be a small closet with a door on it. Just put some small oscillating fans in there and I would be good or what?

    PlantsAreNeat: My First Grow (micro)

    Not trying to offend my man, and I appreciate the input so thank you. Like I said, this is my first grow so I wanted to give the PC case a shot, but I am strongly considering going with the closet instead. I have a couple weeks to decide until my seeds get here I guess. So let me ask you this...

    PlantsAreNeat: My First Grow (micro)

    I have 3 fans in the case total, 1 intake and 2 exit fans, all running at a full 12V. The intake is of course at the bottom and the 2 exit fans are right in line with the level of the CFLs. I guess I will have to monitor it really close right off the bat to see how hot it gets. I would love to...

    PlantsAreNeat: My First Grow (micro)

    Anyone have a link on a 35W bulb that is still really short? The reason I didn't buy a larger Watt bulb is because the power strip is mounted on the side of my PC case so the longer bulbs won't fit. However, if I decide to just use the PC case for just Veg, I could remount the power strip on the...

    PlantsAreNeat: My First Grow (micro)

    The more I think about it the more I like the idea of using the PC case to Veg and invest in a midsize growtent for the closet to flower in. I really think the PC case is big enough to Veg them in almost until it's time to flower, but we'll see I guess. Again, this is my first grow and want to...
