ive been reading some journals and looking at a few threads in here and have p.m'd few people but would like some ideas on how to construct and make a pc grow case or file cabinent grow?


iam a patient in michigan however living with my father who DOESNT know iam a patient limits my growing to a small stealth area such as this..

i got around $200 to work with.

going with autoflower strains for sure. tired of paying $400 an oz from local dispensarys..

seen some methods on lst/scrog for high yields but ill get into that later.

best case/cabinent? in terms of space and funcationality, wether its 2-4 small plants or 1 big plant.

equipment and assembly?

all comments, suggestions, rebuddles, criticism, and threats welcome

You wont be growing enough inside a PC to sustain even a light habit. More trouble than its worth IMO.

heres my angle.. 2 cases at 2 plants each.. start each 2 weeks apart at a 60-70 day flowering cycle then just keep starting new plants in a rotation for a perpetual harvest so ill always have a little bud..

of course but ill be the one figuring that out..it doesnt have to be a perfect cycle but finding a fast autoflowering strain wont be too hard to dial in a system. my problem is finding a freaking case lol

Stop by home depot. Pick up some plywood, nails, and some brackets and build a house man

It was a joke.. Yes a house for the plants? Hahaha you don't have a closet or something?
Some people use cardboard boxes.. Idk to me looks like a fire hazard most of the time

Forget about the auto flows.. You need a single cola strain because those are skinny (like the cab) and all other strains would be to bushy to do this with..

gotta rip all the doors off and make a false front.. or one large pull out drawer... and cut the bottom(hole for passive intake) and cut a hole at the top(exhaust)

im gonna take all the drawers out but leave the faces on and cut the levels. i wont have 2 chambers just one.. i determine the fans and such by calculating the LxWxH? then what kinda lights and such? i could have 100w cfl bulbs in the middle of the cabinent on each wall then one main light on the top?

Depending on how big you want you're plants.. You could go 12/12 from seed, still get a decent yield with 4-8 plants I'm guessing? And then the cfls would work. I'd get.. 2 on ea wall (sides) and a big fat one on top. If you wanna veg, that's cool. You know what? It'll work, cuz if the plants are really tall, the lights on the sides can be adjusted. So you could have 2 on the bottom sides, 2 on the top sides, and the one up top.

what size bulbs for the sides would you reccomend? and id just use surge protectors on each side? then what size for middle? im taking measurements right now and will have pics of the cabinents insides to give all you guys a better perpective.. appreciate it NRM!!

so i took the measurements and cleaned out the folders that were in the drawers.. and without making alot of noise being underneath my dads room i couldnt figure out how to pull the drawers out..ill have to cut the bottoms off of each one so i can still keep the faces on them

the measurements are 28" long x 15" wide x 52" high

biggest thing right now is figuring how to get the drawers out and how to cut/reconfigure them to still fit in the cabinent and take the bottoms out.

how are those dimensions? and i for sure will go 12/12 from seed!
