Pc grow box please rate... Dwc with 100w mh micro controller automation
- I am anxious to hear some feed back from you guys on my diy contraption I have built...
we have I think a 2008 emachines desktop pc gutted but exterior kept to spec. I have a brinks digi timer for 100w brinks MH light, 12v psu for fans and 5v psu for arduino which controls fan speed thru a couple n channel mosfets with pwm. and soon to add a few temp sensors and have the fans/heating element to automatically control temps to keep avg temp of 70-80F but as of now im winging it without even a water heater temps are low as room stays around 55-70 degrees depending on this southern winter weather but it is warmer in pc due to mh light except at night but not too much thanks to my idea to insert this glass it basically eliminated all heat issues its like two seperate rooms the glass is almost safe for plant to touch. I have just swapped from egg carton to homemade net basket with cut up cardboard egg carton medium now dwc till i decide if ebb/flow can fit/ is worth the trouble. but without futher ado i give you my reworked pc grow boxok I know it cant be considered stealth do to light output but i havent sealed it up yet or attached the ac filters to outlets but (hopefully)"she" is now about 1 to 1 and a half weeks and on 18/6 just now transferred to dwc and she had her first shot of nutes misted on leaves and medium and is no longer in milk jug humidity chamber I had to break down and use mg soil plant food cuz i had some and saw some browning tips and spots hopefully it will hold her off till I can order legit stuff but what you guys thinks of my hard work maybe she will pay off also im using bag seed till i can order some 90 day wonder or something sativa
