Hey guys, I love this thread. After I get finished with my current 600W I'm going down to a pc grow, it's not that I don't have the space or equipment, just gonna do it for the fun of it. This thread is an inspiration
rkrone I have been watering daily and feeding them this miracle grow bloom booster stuff once a week. As I said I'm new to this entire thing and I'm kinda learning as I go here. What do you guys suggest when it comes to plant food? Also I just noticed that both my Metal Halide lamps are burned out. I don't know it someone touched them with bare hands or what but I'm not too happy since those things ain't cheap. I'm just going to run the 2 100 watt cfl and 2 40 watt cfl's I might run to the hardware store and buy two more 100 watt and just role from there and get the HPS lamps in another week or so, so come flowering stage I can just throw them in. Also how did you guys build your carbon filters? I finally found some carbon filter mats so I cut one to fit over the fan. Do I need to layer them or build a filter box? Right now the one sheet isn't cutting it and my room had that certain aroma going.
first off, dont water daily...only when the plants pot dries out does it need to be watered, secondly, there are a ton of different nutes you can use, i personally use the foxfarm line. thirdly, be careful how much wattage you jam into that case...with pc cases more isnt neccessarily better as you can run into heat/space issues. as for the scrubber, sugabear posted a link to his compact scrubber at my request a few pages back in this thread...it really is the way to go for pc scrubbers.
I have a question how are you turning on those bulbs? All the cfl bulbs in my house are in the wall with these sockets... how did you put that in the computer. I plan to do a scrog mini grow using cfls can someone please tell me what i need to put bulbs in my case oh and how can i wire 90mm case fans to a 12 volt adaptor i really dont wanna pay the bill for a constantly running 400 watt psu.
This is what my grow shopping list looks like so far im still undecided on some things though, help me out please.

I'm deciding on 2 40 watt cfls or a 125 watt envirolite and how would i hook these up? Also how can i turn on those fans with out using a computer power supply unit?
in gutting a pc a construction yard term comes to mind....demolition...do what you have to to remove the guts...pliers, dremels, drills, knives, if you think you can use it, use it.
Yes im gonna do a pc bubbler grow but now im confused on how i could light the bulbs and how i can connect the pc fans to a 12-60 volt adaptor i dont wanna pay for a constantly running 400 watt computer supply.
