I mean ideally you want to grow in the ice chest since its a lot bigger then the case Im assuming your gonna use. You are going to need a lot more tools I think if you modify the ice chest, and yeah it probablly will be more work. If you got the tools to modify the ice chest I would do that.
You cannot use a liquid cooling system for your bulb. You have to physically attach the system to the bulb, not good because you block light.
For a small computer box grow, you want something fast and short. An autoflowering strain like lowryder or any ruderalis/indica cross should do the trick.
my PC case is hot on top. But thats becuase i mounted the 3 CFLs to a powerstrip and THATS mounted on the very back top corner. I had an intake fan and another fan blowing at the lights and that worked good but i took both of those fans out becuase the case was too cold inside. One exhaust fan is all i need.
i tried growing in my pc box too. it was way too small, even with everything gutted out of it. I tried a cupboard in my house and that was way too hot. going over 100 degrees with 8 cfls in there. I tried growing in a ice box too lol. that was way too hot too. I guess thtas because its design is to keep the temperature in the box. I think the best grow box that u need would be a moving box. a big one. put some fans around the box and some lights on its sides. and close that shit up. u are set to grow lol. u coulda probably put it in ur closet and i dont think anyone would fuk with it if u say it's bunch of junk in there.
is it possible to do a computer grow box?i have an old hp that i have gutted and have a few old computer fans,i just need to know what lights and stuff i need.im also thinking about using a digital thing that tells me the temp and humidity.any help
If you check my sig I have a Dell server that im growing in.
And i second lowrydr... But from personal experiance (and im not knocking it) lowrydr #2 is an alright smoke, but the Lowrydr ak48 or lowrydr Sour Diesal. They have a much better smoke and high.
