Hello everyone. Im making this thread for those who want to make a pc grow box. When I was making mine I had a little trouble finding info on it so I thought I would make this post for anyone else in need.
Basically just take all the hardware out your pc.
Wire up some computer fans to an ac adapter buy connecting the red and black wires to the red and black wires on the ac adapt. Also get an AC adapter that is the same voltage as your fan. Both of mine are 12v ( if there are no colors just try touching both wires together )
Next attach the fans to the side of the computer where they can blow air through the computer. one blowing in one blowing out.
Then you need to go to your local home depot or lowes and get some reflective maylon or basically anything that has a high light reflection and its not too expensive. 11 dollars for a giant roll.
cut and wrap your walls with the reflective mylar cut out spots for your fans and leave one place where you can link a power cord cable out of the computer to the outlet to power your Grow PC
Glue on a power strip of your choice to the side of the PC over the mylar
(my pics are only duct taped on gotta go get some glue tomorrow)
Next you will need outlet adaptars that plug straight into the power strip and then also screw in a lightbulb too them. I got mine at Ace Hardware for 2.49 a peice and i was not able to find them at my local Walgreens or Target.
also you can add a homemade carbon scrubber if you are worried about the smell but i didnt yet and i am not planning on it until it starts to stank.
Thats about it plug everything in and your ready to grow.
Pics of mine are below cant wait to fill it with automatic blueberry
Im sure there are other ways people have done/do this but this is how i did it if you have any suggestions for me or anyone else looking at this thread please post em.
Thanks for readin n happy smokin
