I should have said try Nick's.
Yes that's them. I think they are 1 or 1.1 litre and I put loads of holes in the bottom. No point using perlite for drainage and not letting it drain. I use a hot poker to make the holes but a drill would do it.

Hey saphyros

I'm a bit confused by your post. Sounds like you have an intake and a circulation fan but no exhaust?
The humidity is a little low, is that only with a single bulb and a humidifier running?
Sounds like you have most of what you need. Can you post a pic of the cab and the dimensions?

I only took a few tops from Pandora last week and left the rest for a bit of extra time on the sunbed.
I figured the solstice would be a good day to start her new life in the country so I harvested the rest when the lights came on a couple of hours ago and then fed her a nitrogen cocktail.

Here's a couple of shots of the chop. Also a pic of Tera. She's a proper handful and seems to indicate that sphagnum moss is a boon to your soil mix.

Lovely pics there mate :-) I still cant believe what you grow inside a damn PC case!!! Those buds look tasty.

Looks like the sphag moss is working well :-) As you know I'm also trialing it thanks to your tip, and I'm convinced it REALLY is making a major difference to my little clone. Maybe you should start a sphag moss thread here? Would be good to run a few trials and see results?

I'm liking this stealth box concept a lot, I keep looking around for a potential little box to grow my cuttings in :-)

Was watching an interview on Tv on Solstice, they were interviewing a Druid guy with a big knobbly stick and I thought about your Hawkwind experience. 8-)

Hey CV
The case is crackers for sure. Makes me chuckle every time I open it :)
Really appreciated that pic.
I can't run side by side moss comparisons in my case as things are all at different stages, so I won't start a thread but I'm most impressed with the stuff. I'll post some pics up.

Greets fs. Long time m8. Thanks for the props. I'll pop by & bump Querkle in a mo.

OK Here's an update on my trials of sphagnum moss so far.
I've got 3 plants in various blends of soil/moss. First was Tera who was planted in it from birth and has shown much accelerated growth over all the other seeds from the same pack. She's healthy as can be and has grown 1/2 inch overnight on a couple of occassions.
2nd plant was a hempy experiment that didn't work out. Not sure why as it's hard to muck up a 100% perlite mix and I could see the roots at the bottom of the pot so it was feeding fine but just didn't like it. She got repotted a week ago into a 40/30/30 soil/perlite/moss mix and has just started recovering from the operation with some serious growth.
Last one was a cockup of mine. I took a cutting from the reveg plant but couldn't find my rooting hormone and the local DIY store had none either, so I ended up just putting it into a 100% moss pot with some plain water and covered it with a poly bag. Obviously I crossed my fingers too :) Yesterday it got a 200ppm veg feed and it has rooted!
I took the bag off last night and put it under the lights but it had wilted within an hour and I feared the worst, but I replaced the bag and this morning the little soldier is back in a proud upright position and looking hot to trot :)
All in all I'm sold on the use of sphagnum moss and it's just a matter of playing around until I work out the best way to utilise it. Cerebralvibrator is also playing with it and is getting equally amazing results, so it isn't just my imagination.
Here's some pics. Tera went in on May 9 so she's around 6 weeks old. The hempy-gone-wrong went in on 21 May but she didn't like the hempy and had a week of shock after the transplant, so she's 4 weeks old and the cutting is 8 days Today.

V12,

Its defo not your imagination! I dont think I've been growing herb for as long as you have BUt I have been growing for 13 years and pretty much by the same methods/soil mix etc for at least the last 8 of those years. I've tried drainage layers of pebbles/ perlite etc but this is the first time with a 1" bottom layer of the moss and I'm seeing something special happening here. I know the bubba O Kush strain very well and this is the first time I've seen one at 8 weeks 12/12 still pumping out flowers all over (kind of like the 'foxtails' are foxtailing out the sides too !!!). Shes doubled in size in the last 7-10 days and thats no exageration. Theres barely a brown hair on her!

I was in the garden centre today again and picked up another bag of it! When you pick it up its like picking up a natural sponge, bag says it holds up to 20 times its own weight in water and I would not dispute that :-)

A few more grows will tell but I currently have 4 x Northern Lights fems in usual soil mix but WITH the moss bottom layer.

Your plants look beautiful V12 :-) A veritable miniature forest in a pC case mate.

Anyone else wants to try it you can get bags of it from good garden centres for lining hanging baskets etc. Cost is a bout £7.00 for a big bag enough to line a lot of pots. Pic below.

Take it easy there V12, suns shining today and everythings good in the garden :-)
