PC Case Growers Club

here's another picture with the plants in the case, i could only take a pic with the light on this time, sorry about that.

@ TheStealthBox: i bought this hps as a kit complete with lamp, ballast and reflector at a growshop. the light is 2700k and specifically designed for flowering plants. security lights obviously aren't designed for this purpose and the bulb is shaped like a pear and therefore does not distribute the light and heat as efficiently as a rectangular shaped bulb.

i just measured the temperature with a simple mercury thermometer and the temp is: 23 degrees celcius / 73.4 degrees fahrenheit.
 
Where should I purchase pl-l lights and a ballast from?
I've decided to add 2-36 watt pl-l lights to my cab. Going to put one for the undergrowth near the base of my planters, and then the second pl-l will go under my cfl's. AHsupply, has a 2 ballast unit for 70 bucks along with light reflectors etc but bulbs gotta be purchased separately.

Thanks fellow pc'ers.

they all pretty much suck, they are talking about a few tiimes in this thread, coco is simple you just put it in a pot and feed it hydroponics nutes,

have you thought about a grow tent? they mak 2x2 ones and you can get a 250hps for it, bigger harvests mean you dont hae to grow 24/7

i think canna coco + canna a +b nutes is going to be your best bet and i always hear people recommending the canna pk 13/14 for the later stage of the plant. or check out lucasformula.com , and most any coco will do, for a pc grow, 1 little brick(2-3) dollars will expland to over a gallon of soil , i never grown in a pc case but i would say, 3-4, and keep a male for a while so you can get a few seeds for next time , or outdoor

most of the stuff is at hydro stores but you can just order online too

My current pc grow home made!

My current pc grow home made!

As i promised here are pics of my pc taken last night. Lights are 1x25W 2700K 1350lum 1x20W 6400K 1080lum its on 12/12 for 16 days now and its the second time i flower it. Its on full strenght nutes 4-8-8(the best suited one i could find) ,watering scadual is feed-rest-feed-rest-water-rest-feed .... I have problems with the humidity probably due to the tight space it is from 45-60%. Passive intake in fromt, 1 small pc fan blowing infront of lights, 1x80mm pc fan exhausting to the back chamber and 1x80mm bloing out of the back chamber.
