I want to just do a stealth computer case dirt grow but today I went out to get some supplies.

I bought 6 porcelain bulb sockets that I am going to circut and connect so that I can plug in.

4 pack of 14 watt Daylight CFL's

2 pack of 23 watt Bright White CFL's

2 pack of 23 watt Daylight CFL's

This is my rough design that I made in paint :smile:



Will this be enough light for the plants?
I already have a old computer case, I don't have exact measurements right now but it is a decent size for 3 small bushy plants.


I was going to LST the plants from a 2 or 3 week after they sprout and I might try SCRoG if they look promising. I am only looking for maybe an ~oz dried per harvest and I'd be happy.

I am going to put mylar all over the inside of the case itself with just the hole for the fans and it will be in the top part of my closet which is pitch black when the door is closed.

What kind of smell issues might I run in to with a grow this small, possibly only 2 plants (I will be using bag seeds from some decent mids)

I am going to read up on what kind of soil to use and what, if any, soil nutes I should use.

I will take pics once I get back home and can start setting this baby up!

I see there are views but no replies? This is going to be my 1st grow and I haven't found much info about a computer case grow (A few incomplete jourals).

Any suggestions for my set up (bulbs, ventilation, more room) would be greatly appreciated because I want to get a good grow or 2 under my belt before going all out and buying some HID's and going with the DWC system I set up a while ago, but I don't have the room to use that right now.

post pictures of your pc case and figure out your dimensions... if your growing in soil i think youll take up more space than hydroponics for root size... 6 cfls should be more than enough for two plants if there high lumens are u going to flower with them as well?

sadly yes, but I am ordering 2 or 3 of those 150 watt econolights in the next few days. But I won't have the cool and room I would need to use those yet...
