my pc grow box setup with pics i made two

motame · Oct 30, 2007

High tokerz, since the pc planter is too much moola I made my own version. I used two dual outlet pumps and 4 6" airstones, and I made an 8 netpot hydroponic box. I put mylar on the walls instead of the foil tape the pc planter has. I used a 50watt High Pressure Sodium ballast with bulb. Two fans, one for intake and the other one for exhaust. The pc's are lockable so I don't have to worry about anyone opening them. Plus since I used mylar it doesn't leak light everywhere. I ran all of the plugs to a surge protector, so it's all safe. Once done, I put 8 baby Low Ryder # 2 in the black one and they're doing good.

I made two and I'm only going to use one, .

Hey, sorry for the late reply but I've been working too much. I bought the tower off of ebay without anything in it for $65shipped. It wasn't that hard to make, just rip all the guts out, mylar it, foil tape all of the sides, use long screws to hold the lights in from both sides (just drill right through the top metal bracket on the pc and into the plastic of the light), and I just ran all the electrical cords through the back portion of the pc with a surge protector on the back of it. It's not hard at all, just the time you have to put in.

I already grew a few grams of Low Rider #2 with it and it was pretty good. I used a blowdryer to taste the first bit because I couldn't wait till the rest cured, :hubba: . Once the rest cured it was pretty good. The females had an amazing smell that I would say smells like guava or guayaba(a tropical fruit).

I'm growing Low Ryder #2 in it so when they're fully budded they're right at the beginning of the light. There's more than enough space.

Looking forward to some more pics man! :aok:

wow, thats awesome man.its getting me all fired up to start my own. i know it wont be this good tho. hydroponics is still an eery place to wonder for me just yet, hell, even soil grows sound complicated to me atm.

great job motame.

how much bud will these plants ever yield in such a small space?

Celebrity Bob · Dec 2, 2007

MJ20 · Dec 5, 2007

Very nice!

sportcardiva · Dec 9, 2007

nice grow case

jcolvv89 · Dec 13, 2007

Wait I'm a little puzzled still on this, you can grow in a computer tower? Like I can actaully make it into a grow room to grow weed in it? Isn't it to small to grow it in? Like everyone else builds stuff that are atleast 2ft high. Wouldn't the height affect it or you have to take it out of there and put it somewere else to grow?

Sorry I'm still a noob to this

But I love the idea! if you can actaully do it I'm going to do that!
