So today i started with my first PC. Its not completely done, i still need to install a carbon filter and a really cool light system i made.
But this is what i got so far. LMK.
(IMHO, idk if its because its mine or what, but this looks soooo much more nice than anyone elses ive seen on here)


I used Tiger reflective foam for the walls along with some nice aluminum nature tape.
I used a small refrigerator rack for the starting stand AND when its time to put them under neath to grow into.
I have 3 12v fans. 2 intake (a .14 amp and a .19 amp). 1 exhaust (.24amp).

WHATS GOING IN...
a 3 lightbulb fixture for 2 23watt CFL and a 26watt CFL
a fluorescent tubing on the top.
a carbon filter for the exhaust fan.
and last, but DEFINITELY NOT LEAST, a little homeboy called AK48

Ill update when it is completely finished and when i start the grow.
PLEASE tell me what i should watch out for and what looks promising.
Thanks :)




I NEED HELP:
My humidity is between 35-40%, should i raise it? i heard it needs to be 60% ish, so i put a cup of water in the PC.
also, I planted the seeds, but im worried, IDK if i planted them deep enough, theyre about 1 inch from the top of soil.
I have 2 seeds planted, how long should i wait until switching from my 18/6 hour light cycle into a 12/12 hour light cycle? how can i tell it's time to switch?

Thanks :)

All-right can you speak English? PC is personal computer or what? LMK means what? If you want an English speaking person to respond to your question ask it in a normal form of verbage not something we have to dedipher.

PC. yes Personal Computer.
PC isnt really referred to anything else. its a micro cab grow.


edit:
and "verbage" makes no sense at all. PC would be a noun you ignorant ass.

humidity is fine.

run 18/6 for like a week. i ran 12/12 from seed and my sativa doms grew to about 12", and my indica dom about 6", and this was under good conditions. how tall is your area?

the potting soil actually looks better than usual, lots of peat moss. maybe mircale gro is taking a turn for the better? i mean they have the money to do so..

what are the ingredients of the soil? can i get more pictures of the soil, please?

indica dominante pheno.

ehh..run it. you can run pure coco if you want.

i grow in peat moss perlite and limestone, but i run a synethic food now. it blows my organic fish protein out of the water, which i have been using for years.

youll be ok.

my humidity has been ranging from 30(day) to 60-70(night) plants all look good. Humidity was a big concern of mine as well, but it seems low humidity is not as big of a problem as high humidity when flowering.

Miracle Gro- Im against it. I used it too and burned my shit up. Walmart has a bag called Jiffy seeding mix. And u need some perlite. Both bags for 10 bucks...will plant 8-10 12 oz cups. I already phed and ppmed it. 6.8 after a rinse and dry, ppms at 200 or so..perfect for seedlings and early veg. Hope this helps a little.

Alright, well ill see where this grow takes me. If the shit sucks. ill go get a different kind, the bag did only cost me like $4, so it isnt a huge deal.

Ill post pics as soon as i see something sprout, its been about 4 days, nothing yet :/
still running the 18/6 like cycle, i realized after i planted that i accidently stuck 2 seeds in one pot, couldnt find either one in the soil
figured ill let them both grow and pick my favorite haha

Hey bmeat, you know you were banned because you're underage. I'm pretty sure in the few days since your banning you are still 16.

Welcome back Bmeat...er...uh...feminizedmutt.

My advice to anyone on this thread, don't listen to a thing Bmeat/feminizedmutt says. The dude is a spaz and knows absolutely nothing.

Back to the soil question...I use Black Gold Organic. It's very neutral at .05/0/0. I use Dyna Grow 9/3/6 Foliage Pro which is very well balanced and has all the correct micros. The soil is loamy, holds water yet drains well. You don't have to mess with it.

There are tons of good combos out there. You just have to experiment and find one that works well for you and get to know it well. I've seen Miracle Grow soil used to great effect.

Are you saying the black container I have now isn't good?
I mean, it can't grow too big since its in a PC haha.
I figured I would transplant them into something bigger when they got bigger or when I want to start flowering..

Also, idk how well you guys can see it, but the white rack in my PC, can I use that to scrog? Or do I absolutely need something that has squares. (The rack has a bunch of parellel horizontal bars, none are perpindicular.)
