PLEASE help me out! First Time Grower

I want to start a stealth grow
im looking at buying this case: http://www.pcgrowcase.com/flowerboxlst.htm

i could always do LST and scrog Im more concerned about the choices i got to make between should i add more lights? soil or hydro? anything i can add to boost yield?

The case pretty big it can hold 3 of my 1.5-2L pots, that being said i can expect around 10-25g / plant, in 70-75 days if all went well id yield 30-70g every 70-75 days organically (soil) ive seen every autoflowering strain and the one that most appeals to me is called "auto critical mass" it can get big and is very potent, if i keep it lst and scrog it shouldnt be a problem for height ive seen it all done before, check this grow its similar to mine http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=146324&page=9


going back to my other option: hydroponics, i could put 2 plants in a hydroponics system with the pc grow box, i would have more seeds than needed incase some didnt make it so if all went well i could have 2 plants either autoflowering or 12/12 from seed so id be looking at 20-32 g/ plant yielding anywhere from 40-64 g every 70-75 days

suggestions, questions ?
please help! and recommend something!

If you're in a small space you are probably better served with one small plant that 2 or 3 crowded ones unless you lollipop them like sog.

BTW, I wouldn't expect much untill you do it just sayin

yeah well id always have back up seeds just in case, the seller of the case says 2-7 plants, theres more space in there than you think, i will be using lst and sog, that way i can spread it out, i will tuck the fan leaves theres easily room for 2 bigger ones or 3 smaller ones, the link i posted the guy got 38g cured of beautiful nugs, from 2 plants and thats using a 22w led, the cfls i would be using would outdo that led badly just saying

which do you prefer/and recommend hydro or soil?

Well first off, I'm no expert so don't rely on my judgement too much but hydro will grow your plants faster but coco (just sayin) is more forgiving. On the other hand I grow in a real light mix of coco and pearlite and sort of have the best of both worlds. so ther you go

Hydroponics are going to be harder to conceal and up-keep if your actually going for stealth. Do one plant max two if your actually even hoping for that much yeald (don't count your buds b4 she flowers). Just keep with the original set up of the pc box, if you want you could maybe add some more cfl but no mh lights it'll burn your plants at that short of range. Do lst and fim your plants, or top if you don't know how to fim. And another suggested auto-flower plant is auto-assasin from barneys farm mad potent and has an ok yeald. Hope i could help

400 buks is steep id build mine own for a 100 tops.dont expect alot of yield from that small of a space but you could get some decent nuggets im sure.definetly wouldnt do hydro in that if your going stealth.soil would be easier and less mess.

Yea the price is bad too, i made a stealth box out of an un-used dresser for like 40 dollars.

thanks guys i might consider making something then, how did you guys have ventalation though? the case is just convinient cause the odors controlled, its concealed, it has all the lights and fixtures and the container is perfect for lst and/or scrog

AAAAAAAAAAAh $400.00 empty,little ass computer with a fan and shelf. How about NO!






Start your first grow in soil. Its easier,cheaper and if ya mess up ya have a chance to save them.

Go on craigslist and buy a hps light cheap. Make your own box or just hang the light in corner of room.

i cant use an hps its way too bright and the heat going to become a problem, i looked at led and cfl's cause they dont emit alot of heat and dont need special ballasts or wtv, led's arent that great yet there are grows with nice results and others that arents so nice, ill be growing in soil then using organic nutes, fox farm or advanced nutrients, 2 plants in scrog under a 100w cfl should be nice, i also have 1 of these lights from my grow op at a friends that was busted by their parents and took 1 light lol (http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=42&xSec=40) heres the pic to show the size of this baby, its the top one
and if i can get that to fit in the case i should be alot better off, if i were to make my case this baby seems crazy! check it out http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003JJQG02/ref=asc_df_B003JJQG021669175?smid=A1OB5M0OAN6XEW&tag=dealtmp1-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B003JJQG02 its a 200w CFL meant for growing (in2700k spectrum good for autoflowering since they veg for 2-3 weeks only) they have 125w in availability that should make for some dense scrog in a case, i was always thinking of maybe putting a cfl at the bottom of the plant to get light to the underneath of the buds to fatten her up
