hello! Wanted to ask a few questions as like a few ppl on here I want to start growing! I know nothing other than what i have read on this site but it all seems not too complicated and allot of ppl seem really helpfull :) My question is: Is it worth starting off with a PC grow to learn a few mistakes? or would it be best to go straight to a closet grow? I ve seen a few systems on HPonics like PC PRO and other stealth ideas but with even the biggest PC unit up to 56cm is this really gonna stifle the grow? Any advice would be appreciated! :peace:

welcome to riu!

i havnt started to grow yet and was thinking of setups to grow in. i was once thinking about a pc grow box like u but i decided against it. really u can grow in a pc case but it depends on a few things.

depends on how many plants u was thinking of growing is a factor. also, lighting. ur not gonna be able to fit in loads of CFL's or have the option to use any other decent luminaries so this will effect the plants as well. also ud probably have to start flowering earlier which wont make the plants as big.

ur ventilation is quite easy to set up with PC cases though.

if u have the closet room to grow with then id go for that. wont be as hard to make mistakes for example. youd be able to grow move plants and move efficiently depending on ur setup.

also, if u have the budget to go closet grow then its a no brainer for me.

hope this helps

id say throw a rubbermaid grow in your closet, small, easy to maintain and you learn a lot about smells and heat

Pc cases are ok coz of the power supply and the ammount of fans you can put in there but the height is a problem

Ye ta! Well ive seen the old Hydro Grow advertisement! - (Hydro-Grow would like to introduce to you the new "Pc Grow Room Pro" the latest addition to our "PC GROW ROOM" range. It is taller! wider! deeper! 56.5 cm x 54.5 cm x 24 cm) Its costs about £350 for a starter kit, im sure youve all seen them, I reckon you could get 3 half decent plants in there? maybe if i just went with strong indica straines and topped them once they got to tall that would work?

Its costs!! ($700) but after 6 months you'd make your money back! I like to think anyway! So whats the general opinion? PC or NOT? You reckon the topping and indica could work?
