Fractal Design Define XL - PC grow cabinet

Starting week 5 of flowering (this is an 8-9 week strain):







I guess I should've let them veg for 1-2 more weeks to efficiently utilize the height space available, but oh well, still not bad for a first grow, I guess

Middle of week 6:

Nice! What strain(s?) are you running?
Like the zip ties round the edges idea, I'll remember that one.
Best of luck, I'll be watchin!

 

[doob]

doing really well with them girls in there!

 

[StrangeVisitor]

The ladies look nice and healthy.
Do you feed them nutes? What's the pot size/soil volume? - they do not seem to be quite big. Might that be because of an intense light?
Good grow! Will be watching to see the harvest.

The strain of both plants is Kushage.

Yes, I feed them BioBizz Grow + Bloom + Alg-A-Mic. The pot size is somewhat small due to space constraints, roughly 15x15x15. The reason plants are somewhat small is because this is my first grow, I was really worried anticipating the 3 week growth spurt in early flowering. That combined with my fear of getting the plants burned by getting too close to the lamp, I guess I flipped from veg to flower 1-2 weeks too early.

I am in the middle of flush, but being the impatient me I sliced off a bit and gave it a smoke. This thing hits you like a train coming on at 200km/h.

 

[Secrecy]

Sick build!

Im surprised that fan is working

The fan working is not surprising. I read ahead of time that if you want to use a PC fan, you MUST use a fan that generates high air pressure, so I specifically looked up one that does, a Noctua NF-A14 industrialPPC-2000. The filter is a PK 2600 Mini.

I recently started my 2nd grow in this case and should be switching to flowering it soon.

 

[Mr. Sparkle]

I will be interested to see your progress on your second grow, keep it up.

Here's a couple of new pics for anyone curious. This is my 2nd grow in this PC case. MK Ultra, entering week 2 of flowing:

They're coming along nicely.

Any particular reason you chose the NF-A14 2000 over the 3000? Considering this fan on my cab.

Noise levels. The industrial fans are LOUD as they are not originally intended for home use. In fact, I run mine at 9v instead of 12v to keep the noise below "suspicious" levels.

 

[Navigator]

Valid reason and a concern of mine too. What are you using to drop your voltage? Resistor cable, controller...

The 12v power supply I puchased to drive the fans has a 12/9/6/3v switch.
