PC case cannabis grow!! * 2
    #26970004 - 10/05/20 12:39 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

hey everyone! i just recently put together this little project for fun & figured i'd share it here. i was inspired by having an old PC case & seeing another PC grow turn out relatively well. i just got one seed to sprout & hopefully the second one is on the way





the top chimney thing is gonna be the carbon filter, i just haven't bought the carbon for it yet


the strain is quick one autoflower. supposed to stay nice & short. looking forward to seeing how things go. the case has some light leakage rn but i'm not too worried abt it since these strains are autos

my gal is looking healthy! she’s bent over because i started LST a bit early. not sure if it’s recommended to start that early but i wanted to keep the height down.

the other seed didn’t pop up, but i have another one germinating in its place.

I wait for another set or two of leaves before I start LST, but as long as you were careful with her which it’s obvious you were, then I see no issue. I have had friends start LST that early on. It looks great :rasta: I like your whole grow setup!

Cool setup, what is the light source?

I would consider building a scrog screen to control height.

I was gonna say, youre gonna run into space problems I could imagine. But yeah, i have no experienxe with that but as the previous poster said, there are methods for that. I see you're using autos, that will help with thar

thank you! it was a lot of fun to build. glad to know i didn't do anything too horrible by starting this early. i may try waiting a bit longer to train on the next plant just to see how it differs. i really wanted to keep it as low as possible though given how little height i'm working with.

light source is a custom COB LED light! basically i just ordered a 3500k COB LED & wired it up, securing it to a heatsink. found a lot of info on custom LED grow lighting online & it seemed best for this setup

i definitely think i'll be adding a scrog in at some point. my plan right now is to LST the fuck out of the plants, though i'm sure a scrog is also going to prove very beneficial

yeah, it's a tight space to grow in but i think it can be done. the autos i'm using are (allegedly) particularly short plants. ideally i'd like to have a tent, but current circumstances won't really allow for it. i'm just doing it for fun anyways so i'm not too worried. this grow pulled like 33g from 3 plants in his set up. he used a larger case, but if i guestimated correctly, we should have about the same effective growing space since i put all my shit like the lights & pots outside the case itself. i'm running 2 plants instead of 3, but i hope that means i'll be able to let them get a little bigger. it's all an experiment

thanks!! i’m excited to see the plant take off. too funny you linked the cannabonsai thing, i actually germinated some bag seed yesterday to try my hand at it. it would be kinda fun to pull clones off the cannabonsai & grow them out in the PC lol

here she is, about 16 days in now. did a little more LST & turned the fans on. i created this weird little vent, as there was a ton of light leakage before i did. the air ends up blowing directly into the soil, but as long as i keep my plant watered i don’t think it’ll be an issue.


here’s the bag seed for the cannabonsai. not growing for yield on this one obviously. it would be cool if it was female so i could take some clones off it, but i’m kinda just growing it for the sake of growing a plant rn. had it under some CFLs with my salvia but it was probably a foot away from the lights. i think i might create its own lil grow light & keep it on my desk or something

the lemon auto seed sprouted!! it’s about 3 weeks behind the quick one. i’ll probably let it grow a node or two before i LST this one




also here is the other plant! 4 days in. i ended up building a grow light out of CFLs. it’s still young but i think it’s liking the new lights. i may add some red & blue LEDs to the hood too once i get the LED lighting strip in

(the plants in bags are my salvia plants)

Why not just buy a small tent and a real grow light? Dont get me wrong i respect what your trying to do it just seems to me a better option would be a 2x2 tent and a 90 dollar marshydro ts600 could probally set that up for under 300 bucks

CFLs are just compact fluorescent bulbs, they are the spiral bulbs in the pic before your comment. they generally aren’t recommended for growing weed but i’m not really that serious abt it rn & you can still get results with them. rn i’m just using it for vegging bag seed lol. LST is low stress training, basically just bending the plants to grow shorter & exposing more of it to light so you get better growth all around

the LED in the PC case is actually pretty good for growing in general, if i had a few COBs i could easily make some kick ass tent lights for low prices comparatively. you can DIY grow lights pretty cheaply so i’d probably just do that for a tent. the CFLs are just because it was cheap & fun to make & i wanted something plants wouldn’t stretch under before going into the PC case, plus i’m gonna be using it for things that aren’t just cannabis. as for why i didn’t just get a tent; i share an apartment with 2 other people so i’m basically restricted to just my room for projects like these. even a 2x2 tent would eat up a lot of room & i don’t really have anywhere to put it without totally overhauling my room just to grow weed. i already had the PC case & i love dumb DIY projects & needed something to do in quarantine. the PC case is super small, so i can just keep it in a closet without having to dedicate my entire closet to it. i’m just doing this for fun, don’t worry i know it’s better to grow in a tent hahahaha i just wanted to get my feet wet with a little DIY. don’t get me wrong, in a few years i’d love to get a large tent & grow some stretchy landrace sativas & shit but it’s just not in the cards rn so i’m growing on a small scale just for fun

As I dont know much about how you do LST I'd be interested in following your process when you get to the point.

i did some LSTing today so you're in luck!! the quick one is about 5 weeks in now. she's getting a lot bushier. i tied a few leaves down, & decided to straighten out the stalk a bit to then bend her over a bit better. looks like a lot of bud sites are getting exposed. i defoliated three leaves (one of them on accident.) i didn't wanna go too crazy as the auto has less time to recover, but i think the plant will be fine & it opened it up to so much more light. you can see the wires i'm using to hold the lant down & spread it open if you look close. the lemon auto on the left was looking a bit weird, hoping it does alright.



here is the other plant i have under the CFLs. it doesn't seem to be complaining. it's only about 16 days old but it's getting so big! i'm gonna let it grow a few more nodes & then top it. it got a little hot in there for a few days (around 91 degrees), but i think it's looking pretty healthy despite that.

Looking good. Make sure you have air flow below the canopy when training that low, soil line fungus/stemrot really likes the microgrow environment. A small pc case fan blowing under the canopy will keep things happy. :thumbup: :jah:

thanks for the heads up! that's definitely something to keep in mind. there is a fan venting downwards that should flow under the canopy, but i'll keep an eye out incase i need more airflow

about two weeks since my last update... here are the gals! the lemon auto is looking a lot bigger. i accidentally brushed the plant a little too hard & decapitated my quick one ): it's ok, i think she'll recover but it's a bummer seeing as it's an auto that i think is going into flowering. it's hard to tell

these pics were all taken about two days ago. (included are some "macro" and fisheye shots from my old iphone 4 lol)



here's a pic from today, the lemon auto looks way bigger already. i need to do some LST on both plants but i think they look healthy.



also, my bag seed plant died /: idk what happened to it, it looked really healthy for awhile & then just got crispy. it wasn't underwatered I don't think. i did remove a few of the fan leaves which may have just stressed it out too much w the heat of the light

Hmm that bag seed looks like the soil line rot with the yellowing and dryness that I see. https://www.pthorticulture.com/en/training-center/rhizoctonia-root-rot-symptoms-and-how-to-control/

Anyways the others look good. I think I would let the lemon stretch before going more into training, definitely starting flowering now. :thumbup:
