Pc growing

[bgpimpn07]

im starting to build my first grow box. PC stealth growing is my best option. How tall should the pc case be? What kind of lights should I get? and is there anything else I should know prior to starting?

for the case, taller is usually better - to the point that it doesn't look too unusual
the older server pc's are best - they're the bigger ones - they can be found at places that sell old computer equipment
cfl's are usually the best choice for pc growers

im starting to build my first grow box. PC stealth growing is my best option. How tall should the pc case be? What kind of lights should I get? and is there anything else I should know prior to starting?

Im starting one as well, I found a nice tall pc case, 62 cm heigh, 20cm width, and 45cm length, Tried all over the internet and couldnt find one bigger then that!

Use loads of small cfl bulbs, you want a lumen to watt ratio of around 60. Remember you want both "daylight" and i think its "warm white" bulbs, daylight is for vegging (6400k) and warm white for flowering, dont buy a big 125w eco lite, i did this and wish i didnt, smaller cfls are bettter, im going to keep them on a adjustable cord so i can higher and lower them easily.

im also in the process of making my pc case light proof somehow,

also, how will you grow your plants, in soil? or a dwc? bubbleponics, Im going to go with bubbleponics, ive heard that if done right, this can lead to amazing results,

So buy a big big Case, 62cm height was the biggest i can find,

and decide how your gonna grow,

im gonna take a little longer building my box because i want it perfect!
100% light proof, even a bit of sound proofing for the fans.
make a small dwc setup, hopefully i can veg upto 3 plants in that size.

when comes to flowering, i will be using cfls most the time, when i have a free house i might pop them under a 250w hps for a couple of hours in the flowering cycle, or every couple of days, but most the time under cfls to save energy.

im just experiementing now, but hope to write a pc grow build from start to finish including pics for anyone thinking about it.

got loadsa seeds but dont wanna rush anything as of yet!
