Mr Micro Presents : The Nanomachine

Ok so I got the pieces out ( I bought a dremmel). Well most of the pieces, the hard drive cage all the hardware. Now I am off to building the inside, etc. The question is, what kind of seeds are best for this type of application? And what size pot?

Hey everyone! Man, I'm so sorry to everyone for the delay in the replies here! I'm like over my head in questions to answer now :biglaugh:

But first off, Haze, you've only got 11 more to go so as soon as you get there than we're still on for the sale if you still want the box. Just PM me when you can brother man :smoke:


It seems I've been crazy short on time lately, so I'll only get to a few of the replies to people tonight, but rest assured that all requested pics will be taken and all requested info will be shared before this little beauty finds a new home. And oh yeah, did I mention the harvest is finally dried and cured? :D I've got the full harvest report coming up in just a minute!
But first, some Q&A time...


Orangecrush (and everyone else who is curious about the wiring) - Sure thing man! Gimme a couple days and I'll take some pictures of the wiring and give you a full explanation of how I did it. It was actually a lot more simple than it seems :smoke: . Also, the divider that I used to seperate the two sections is made of 1/2 inch thick particle board. I chose particle board because it's very sturdy, does not generally warp due to changes in temperature or humidity levels over long peroids of time, and it's easy to cut and drill with a hand saw and dremmel tool :)


KingOllie - Yep! That carbon filter design you linked to was one of about 8 different carbon filter setups I tried a previous PC case grow. Unfortunately, like almost all the others, that one ended up just not working well enough to cover up the smell in mid to late flowering and that design was trashed. That old design also restricted the PC fans like crazy so I had some pretty severe temperature spikes with it.
However, this new design based off of Suga Bear's micro carbon filter worked flawlessly through the entire grow and did not let a single micron of odor escape the PC case. And it also hardly restricted the fan system at all! If you are going to build a micro sized carbon filter than I think Suga Bear's design is the only one I've tried that I would recommend. It's cheap to build and is the most highly effective micro carbon scrubber I've ever seen.




More replies will come tomorrow, but for now it's on to the harvest info! :D




After about a month of drying and curing, getting the mositure level exactly where I wanted it, the verdict is.... 10.02 grams of light and fluffy but highly tasty organic buds!















All in all I'm pretty pleased with how this grow turned out! The buds were very light and fluffy, so the weight suffered a lot, but I can attribute that to the rather poor Bubblegum phenotype I got this time around. If the genetics would have been better than I'm confident that I could have pulled at least 16 to 18 grams out of this little growbox.

But still, 10 grams isn't bad at all considering I was growing with a single 42 watt CFL in 0.4 square feet of space! I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing the math for this one, but I believe that 10 grams in 0.4 square feet of space is right about 0.8 ounces per square foot. Not bad at all! :D
And like I said, with better genetics I am absolutely positive that you could get a yield of a good 16 to 18 grams out of this PC case... which is well over 1 ounce per square foot! :D


So thank you again to everyone who posted in this thread or just followed along with as I attempted the smallest 100% stealth grow that I know of. I think since this grow was started more and more people have been trying their hands at growing smaller and smaller in more stealthy conditions, which is really cool because thats exactly what I hoped to inspire with this!

I want everyone out there to know that no matter how little space you have there is always a way to safely and effectively grow your own personal supply of cannabis. To free yourself from all the risks and crazy prices of buying from a dealer and to be able to raise, nuture, and harvest your very own plant is... well, it's a wonderful feeling my friends :smoke: And to be able to do all that in complete stealth with no fear of getting caught, that is truly a priceless and incredible experiance.

And I think everyone should be able to have that experiance, so thats why I chose to share this grow with the community here at ICMag. I want people to stop buying from dealers and start growing their own, and most of all I want them to do it in the safest way possible. Stealth is the most important thing in the world when it comes to growing cannabis, and I hope this design will provide everyone who wants to grow their own in a small space a completely safe and stealthy way to do it.


This might be my last grow for a while, since if this Nanomachine gets sold than it's likely that I will not have a growbox do to my growing in for a very long time. But don't worry, I'll still be around and I'll be back with another grow eventually, but for now I hate to say it but I really need money for bills more than I need a grow box. But enough of that talk, the point is that I'll still be around to post and watch everyone else's micro grows.

So thank you again everyone! It's been good and it's been fun... and it certainly has been good fun :smoke:

Until next time, stay safe and grow smart my friends. :yes:

Wow! You got it just right MicroRU! :D Great guess!

Unfortunately I don't have pics and info on the wiring just yet, but I did want to post a message here for Haze saying to please email me at
[email protected]
so we can work out the details of this transaction.

I don't know if it's allowed for me to post emails here or not, but I do want everyone to know that for security reasons this is not my real email address and I just created it a few minutes ago to use specificly for this transaction and nothing else. I hope I don't break any forum rules by doing this, but I absolutely have to get this growbox sold within the next 6 days to get some bills paid so I'm kinda short on time to wait for Haze to reach 50 posts.

So anyhoo, thanks again everyone and I'll get back to you soon with wiring pics and info!

Thanks for the reply about the carbon filter. I though the picture I found was an updated version, but now I know that sugarbear's design is the latest one. I could have just looked at the posting dates. Duh...oh well, I know that now.

Cheers, Whs.

Mr Micro sure got down wit the nanomachine.big ups to the big man.ive read it over and over and finally decided to start my own micro grow.dont have an old computer but some plywood layin around.im thinkin of a cab similar to this nanomachine.i already got some of the materials so wont be long before it all begins. only problem would be some good quality seeds.i got some regular bagseeds. i dont know what strain but its my first grow so im still learning.but still i would like some good seeds.anyone got any suggestions as to where to find some seeds? any seedbanks with good rep?? thanks in advance. i look forward to learning a lil sum from each of you smart growers.happy growing!!

Thanks for the suggestion Tactik.seedbay looks interesting but i dont like the auction feature.im lookin for a company or seedbank that just sells quality seeds at reasonable prices and that ships to US without any problems. Anyone else have a suggestion?

Seeking input & expertise

MrMicro: :1help:

man dude you came up with some sick stuff. i always used to wonder to myself the smallest possible still functioning growbox could be. i'm impressed. :bow: i've been havin an idea somethin like this for long time now but had a few modifications i wanted in mine and i would appreciate some feedback with your expertise.

nanomachine is an excellent design. and i love how it works. but for my needs 10g in 110 days isnt enough. was thinking dual chamber/perpetual harvests (soil mother) and hydro during flowering (rapid growth + more roots). stealth is vital... sacrificing size slightly is OK - but everything still needs to be stock-looking & functioning as yours is though. a bigger case or possibly two smaller ones could be work.

i know itd be tough to pull off but i'm gonna brainstorm some and see what i can come up with. i can think of a few ideas to stuff a tad bigger rez into something, i kno most of the time 1/2ga is as big as you can get and their wild ph swings. also with more case have more room for ventilation/fans so could sufficiently handle more cfls for more light.

thoughts? if you were going to extend your design to build a nanomachine deluxe to yield slightly more in a shorter time yet maintain a good level of stealth, how would you do it? :D :rasta:
