First Time PC Case Grow Random Bagseed

dopewear · Mar 12, 2009

Hey people welcome to my first grow. As you can tell its a PC case which i know is not the greatest, but you got to start some where right? anyways heres some info on my set up.

Enclosure: Antec PC Case
Dimensions: 19x8x22 (LxWxH)
Ventilation: Two 12v Antec fans(3 speeds)
Medium: C.I.L. All purpose Potting Soil
Strain: bagseed (failed) so im on to a strain called "asshole" from wild rose seeds company
Growing Pots: Jiffy pots made of degradable peat(easy for transplanting)
Lights: 4 x 23w 6500k CFL

Pic 1: heres my setup, i tried to make it as clean as possible to optimize space. you may be wondering what the bars in the back are for? they are a part of closet shelving that with a set of hooks(secured to the back of my power bar) it allows my to adjust my lights with ease.

Pic 2: is a picture of my setup with the lights on and boy does the combination of the light and reflictive material hurt your eyes!

nice setup, where did you put the wiring for the fans and lights?
and what are you doing in order to raise the lights up and down?

dopewear · Mar 12, 2009

i left the wires for the fan running long and took them onlong the top of the case to one side and just taped them up with electrical tape. as for adjusting the lights my friend this where i think my inner genious kicked in and it was tricky to do but i bought 2 pieces of 12" shelving rack from home depot and 2 shelves that lock into the rack and well i cut the majority of the shelf off and just kept the end that locked into the rack and super glued them to the back of my power bar it was a bit of a pain but it works great for those minor light adjustments.

sweet.
great ideas
you have any other pics of how it looks on outside frontal and back view?

dopewear · Mar 12, 2009

Pic 1: So here in pic on if my setup from the outside its your usual pc case with only one cord going in and it plugs into a surge protecter. dont need any fires.

Pic 2: Heres the front of my PC case it has a opening and closing face plate which allows me to check my temperature with ease and hides the light from the intake fan.

Pic 3: Again the front of my setup but alittle closer look at how perfectly my digi thermo sat right in the floppy disk drive slot

That's a very nice build on the case. With spring break starting now for me, I get to work on my own case. What are the internal dimensions of that case? Are you planning just to veg, then move outside for flowering, or are you planning to do the entire grow in there? If so, are you lst'ing?

dopewear · Mar 12, 2009

thanks for the coment! i want to do the whole thing inside the case and yes ill probly lst or a scrog i do fancy the scrog idea.

Looking good so far, great job on the case. Word of advice, plan and implement your LST or SCROG sooner rather than later as it is a lot more hassle trying to wrestle with fully developed foliage and thick stems. Good luck.

dopewear · Mar 13, 2009

already got it all planned out but thank you for your comment and advice fellow grower

UberSmoker · Mar 14, 2009

No worries man, look forward to seeing more pics when you get going.

Looking good dude

im subscribed

Also join the group in my sig if you have time, lots of pc info in there ;-)

dopewear · Mar 14, 2009

hey sketzoh thanks for the scribe dude, your sig link dont work i get a 404 error and redirected.
so far no sprout from the germing seeds im about to give up on the bag seed and go buy some descent seed from the vancity seedbank
any strain suggestions? i was think to do like an "asshole" strain because it only growing 2-3 feer so it would be use to staying small like for a pc case.

UberSmoker · Mar 15, 2009

The link is in my sig also man, try that one.

Great choice for your case. A front door is a must for stealth and lightproofing in my view. I'm sure you'll do very well.
Good luck.

dopewear · Mar 15, 2009

thanks v12 ill start germing tomorrow and hopefully we will be under way in the next few days!

should i staralize my medium?

v12xjs · Mar 15, 2009

The soil should be fine but I've never used peat moss so I couldn't say for sure. Hope for your sake you don't. Last time I put some soil in a microwave I had to evacuate the house! Stunk the place up for days

dopewear · Mar 15, 2009

lol thats halarious okay well ill just leave it alone and see what happen

v12xjs · Mar 15, 2009

Sounds like the best plan

skybike · Mar 16, 2009
