Hey guys, first up I just want to say thanks for all the hella useful threads! A friend of mine started growing a couple plants but then needed rid, I said i'd take them but i'm back home from uni and one of my parents would definately not have approved. However seeing the cardboard box set ups here and having just bought an Antec 900 pc case (rendering me with a damn big box) the other parent gave me the greenlight.

My friend needed rid of the plants asap so I took them before I had finished the growbox. For about 5 days I was only able to give them a few hours of light a day since I didn't want them being seen. I finished the growbox a couple days ago and they are certainly looking better but they've got a few scars from those 5 days and some scorchage from having the lights on them without ventilation.

I've got the growbox rigged with 3x1535 lumen 6400k CFL's atm (I had 4, don't ask :stoned:) and 2 8cm pc fans for intake and outtake. When they've recovered from the stresses they've been subjected to i'm gonna change them over to 2700k for flowering. I don't intend on keeping all of the plants tho, i'm gonna keep 2-3 of the best looking females and plant the males in the woods behind the house :D. I've attached a few pics of the growbox (i'm pretty proud of it :D) and a couple of the plants, if anyone has any pointers or advice it would be very much appreciated! Cheers :smokin:

Here's a few more pics of the box, it blends into the general garage mess pretty well :P

Looking good to start! (I've always wanted to do a PC "box" grow!!!):thumbsup:

Any thoughts on smell? Eventually those beauties are going to start to stink..... I don't know if you'll have any room for a carbon scrubber in the case, but I use Ona Gel in confined spaces. Works REALLY well, and if you don't like the smell of fresh linen or polar ice, they have a pro formula that is supposed to smell like....well, nothing.... One liter of the gel and one liter of the "recharge" junk is enough to get through a short grow (2.5 months flower, 3 wk veg). Just a thought!

The smell i'm not too worried about, I smoke in the garage and around the house so the aroma wouldn't stand out as such methinks, but if it does get too bad i'll grab some of that gel, cheers bud
