new member first grow

[Pcmicro13]

hi all this is Pcmicro13 i am new to the site and have just started my very first grow, thats right you heard me FIRST grow ever. ive managed to rig up a old server case into a small flowering chamber. i chose lowlyfe "easyryder" and shes already into 4 1/2 almost 5 weeks into flowering im using just regular miraclegrow soil with liquid growth bloom its a 8-12-8 npk i dunno if that will hurt the plant or not. doesnt look too bad so far odor is low unless you harass the plant. on a 18-6 light schedule. if anyone has any pointers or nute tips id be glad to hear them... oh and the plant is lst'd to the left cause there isnt alot of room in my server case. thx heres a few pics of her

Ive been hoping someone can help me out with some bloom nutes. which is the best to use for soil? i want to make my next grow as perfect as possible thank you

I like gro tek and botanicare for nutes but you should switch up your light cycle to 12/12 its a more natural light cycye and it saves on hydro $$$ plus helps keep temps down.

you can run 42 watts but it does get very hot so thus u have to run the pc fans 24/7. with my 4 26 bulbs i can run my hand about an inch below the bulbs and barley feel warmth. im using 120mm fans for intake and exhaust. and on the first attempt i counted the days and i miscalculated i have 36 days left still.. cant wait im looking at more than a full oz dried the main cola is looking to be an oz by itself right now,but thats wet and let me tell you solid nugs. ill be posting pics when im clipping to show the finished product with leaves on and then trimmed to just bud on the plant. take care and good luck if u need any help ask away.

very nice looking setup bro... pretty impressive for a small cfl grow..

your girl looks very nice... definitely healthy and getting what she needs...

other than keep the lights as close as you can i dont have much to offer... doing very well...

oh, i do have 1 question.. is that aluminum foil or mylar???

niether is the shinny side of a sun reflector from a car. should i be using mylar?

Right on man. looks very good.

 

[simpsonsampson420]

that side reflects heat... which means it will raise the temp of your grow room..

when its on a car its job is to reflect heat and sun away from that car... turning it around in a grow will do the same thing to your grow.. which is not a good thing...

i would suggest going with flat white paint and painting the walls... or getting a cheap 5 dollar emergency blanket and using it... mylar style wrapping paper will work... those are all cheap ways of taking care of the issue.. if you want to sink money into something i would suggest black and white panda film instead of mylar... i personally think mylar is a pain in the ass to use... it has to be completely flat, or damn near flat, to work, and is a pain to keep clean.. panda film resists mold/mildew growth, is more durable, and much easier to work with and clean...

For all the ppl that said the pc grow was stupid or impossible to do or the yield was gonna be too low. Well the time has finally come i had to chop down my baby a little early but i am still amazed at the results for my first time doing this. heres some pics of the trim, again for my first time ever i think i did amazingly and cant wait to get more experience from the brains on this fourm. now to dry and cure. happy smoking
