Hello all. I am a noob to the forum and a novice to growing.
I am attempting a PC Stealth grow after being inspired by v12xjs and his success. If you've never seen his grows, be sure to check it out. I will be including as many pics as I can, I know it was helpful for me to see what it is really being done in a journal.
I am using a server case, on wheels for easy moving. I am unsure of the brand of the case and I've had it a good while. It measures 24" high inside, has 14 1/2" of usable width in the top half and 13 3/4" on the bottom half with the inset slots for cards. It is 7 3/8" deep. There is a separator piece in the middle, I'll be removing that before installing the light and such.
L to R: Front Bottom, Front Top, Rear Top, Rear Bottom
These are an open view from the side, with the shelf piece to be removed.
The case will be sealed as well as possible with aluminum duct tape, glue gun, and some spray foam insulation if needbe. After that, I will use mylar as a reflective surface.
I am still a bit sketchy on getting seeds and may just be using a few I've collected. I'll be growing 12/12 from seed, 3 pot perpetual, with a new seed started every 3-4 weeks. For this, I have chosen the 125w 2700 Envirolite and including a 12w 6500k cfl for a bit of blue light. Props to v12xjs on that one, it seems to fend of the yellowish leaves early on. It sure beats bat guano in small areas.
This will be a soil grow, but I'm still working on the mix as I'm unsure if I'll get any primo seeds
The light will be installed above a custom cut sheet of 2mm plexiglass, for a heatshield. I'll be installing a fan on each end of the cooltube on top. There are 4 spots for an 80mm fan, and the opening for the cd-rom/PSU that were there when I bought the case.
I have 3 Typhoon 80mm fans already, along with a multi-volt adapter. I'll see what else I need as soon as I get the light in hand.
I'll post some pics of the rest of things I collect, and maybe some of you apprehensive noobs (like myself about a week ago, lol) can follow suit with something simple.
I also want to add in one tip to remove these feisty rivets in the PC cases. I haven't gone tip hunting, but this one did the the trick. I just used a flat head screwdriver and a hammer. Most PC cases are made cheaply and the rivets are ghetto thin. I didn't have the patience to get a drill, so if you don't either, you can try this on those pesky rivets.
All advice and questions are welcome, I can't even begin to tell you how valuable these journals have been for me. Especially using proxies to feel comfortable posting lol!

i was thinking, that shelf in the middle might be useful if you want to SCROG it, so maybe do a bit of research on it and don't cut it out just yet?
