You need to think about the SMELL
You may like the smell but it will fill the entire house if not taken care of
and LEO wont be far behind
Just my 2 cents

I built a small Carbon Filter already



im thinking of making the same box...so where exactly should i put the fans (i have 3 not 2) and have the same exact case
I would put 2 fans in the same spot I did. I don't think there would be any place to put the 3rd one becus if you put it on the side the plant would hit it, and there really isnt anymore spots to put it in the back. My house temp is about 74 degrees and the highest the case gets up to is 80 and I run 18/6

im doing the same thing but with 3 80mm fans...where should i place them for the best temp control...i was thikning 1 by the lights to take that heat away right away...the middle one pointing towards the plant and the botttom one as an exaust fan also...id put a very small wire mesh over the fans so the plants wont get caught in them or n e thing...also i was thinking that just incase temp is a problem (since i am running 12/12 in mine since ppl recommended it) i would make the lights turn on at night when its cold so that way would keep my room warm :) and also it will stay cool in the box...any thoughts?

That sounds good to me, but im telling you my box gets down to 67 degrees if I put those fans on when the lights are off. It's winter here, but it starts 74 in my house. I have to turn the one blowing air off when I turn the lights off becus it gets to cold, I have one exhaust fan at the top running.

Just planted my second baby :D :D today

:leaf:very nice job! are you planning on upgrading to a full tower sometime? since this is a stealth grow might want to do something about the light coming through the case edges. maybe a dark pantyhose covering the back vents will dimm the light to a more normal level? will impede airflow a bit but might be worth a try.:leaf:

Hey i really like this, but i think you could of got away with smaller pots, you could use the ones half the depth and as wide as the ones you have there, more room for growth above. I personaly think the best way to do these sorts of grows is to construct some kinda box that the tower sits on and build it into were your pc case is sitting, have it just big enough to take your pots, then you have the full 20inch to grow.

Keep us updated looking good

I might build something for it to sit on and hollow it out and screw the pc case onto that box and have it double the size, idk yet. Thinking about growing in 32" speaker case, what do u think?

I'm getting a speaker ready for the grow... I'm going to use the PC for cloning and getting the plants started. I have 4 32" inch tall floor standing speakers. The plan is to stack 2 speakers ontop of each other and cut away the middle section where they come together and bolt them together for a 5ft tall grow setup :D. I'm getting a few LED strips to put in the side of the case and one big CFL at the top... I'll post pictures when I'm done, not sure how long it will take becuase I might have to order the CFL if Home Depo doesnt have it.
