i was reading hightimes 06.2006 and saw them selling seed/clone boxes made like a computer case. (light bulb....DING) I HAD A IDEA. So i took a old case i had, put a old 24" 30w gro-lux tube i had in it, used the case fans that were in there (turned one around for intake) and boom, i had my box. i havent covered all the light leaks in the back yet, but im still working..
starts seedlings great and keeps it cool @ 78-82'F
anyone have advice on it?
I believe I may do the same ... my only advice is to take the power supply and put it outside the box, if you're using a power supply that is.
issint it kinda small for a plant?i mean i'm thinking of growing...this might be a good idea...
seriously, that's a sweet idea for one plant. maybe two if you have a big enough case.
I suggest taking out the brackets for the power supply/drives, gives you more room to grow. Maybe one or the other. Seems like a good idea though, great way to put old compys to use.
well i appreciate all the comments, i have no p. supply/drives in it, its just the case housing that you'll see. and it is small (esp. with a lamp 5" too long), but like i said its just my seedling/clone tray, then they get moved into the room.....
and im still workin on it, so ill have more pics, plus i might make it a CFL box instead of a tube box
yeah a cfl would be better....and this way you can see they are not "just a rip off"..hehe jj...goodluck....
Pretty nice idea i might even consider trying that one.
would it be possible to do a complete grow in a computer case? I mean ... if you only had one plant and it was a mineature of somekind? I don't know anyhting about growing yet, but i'm starting to look into it.
i have seen a thread(not here) of a computer case grow start to finish, he used a 100watt( or 70watt) hps bulb with a single pc fan, he used the scrog method and everything looked awsome at the end he had just over a OZ of herb so it can be done just dont expect a huge result
yeah, ive scrapped the stelth box and just started grow'n in the dirt
