Dizzy's gone micro.

[Dizzy1]

I couldn't stop myself... So I did the only thing I could.

I present my Micro Grow.
Simple PC case that is stripped out and suited up.

• Reflective aluminum tape.
• 120mm 95 CFM exhaust fan. Has 4 blue LED's, does that count as a CFL/LED grow?
• 2 42 watt 6500 CFL's. Soon to be 4 or 5.
• 2 23 watt 6500 CFL's. Soon to be none.
• Chopped up extension cords.
• Make shift reflector with chicken type wire and reflective tape.
• 4" Aluminum flex duct hooked up the fan and ran outside.

Seems to average 77 to 85 degrees. I'm sure I can get it better if it comes to it.

Plants came from grow partner which came from his friend... Guy planted I think 12 in his yard and then gave up on them, gave them to my buddy. Almost half are very near death, a couple were dead, and I took the 2 healthiest. I'm going to guess they are 2 to 3 weeks old and have been subjected to crap weather, crap dirt (shit had clovers in the cups) and as of 3 or so days ago 12/12 lighting under the 400 HPS. So, I repotted them after I got rid of as much crap cake soil they were in. I did leave enough dirt to keep the root structure stable though.
I will put them in 12/12 as well since I need to keep em very short. I'll be doing a "reverse scrogg" on them. I don't think there is an official name, but I've seen it called that before. Basically you put the screen under the planter and tie the branches down to it, leaving the tops to grow up alone.

Enjoy!

Cool looking box, Dizzy! One suggestion - your connections for the light wires aren't going to do well in a humid environment. Moisture gets inside the wire nuts and the copper wire corrodes. You should either put those connections outside the box or at least move them up higher - closer to the lights and the heat and dryer air.

I can't wait to see how your grow goes!

PC :thumbsup:

[Dizzy1]

Thanks PC!
I had wondered about those wires as I was setting it up, no need to argue with the advise. I was also thinking about filling them with Silicon... Eh, after I add the other socket set-up I'll just re route them in the back, I have to work on that bulk head anyway, light keeps wanting to peek out.

Thanks again!

looks great bro, i'll be following you all the way:thumbsup:have you any idea of the strain ?

[Dizzy1]

I don't have a clue on the strain, they were all bag seed and I never sampled the smoke, but it supposedly was pretty potent.
Even if it's halfway decent I'll be happy.

Thanks for checking it out! :jointsmile:

I like UR pc grow.

I grew in a pc once. and I got about 5 grams from the scroged plant.

[Dizzy1]

Doh!
But... that would still be 5 grams more than I had before. lol

In the words of Monty Python, always look on the bright side of life.
