Going to build a PC Grow box.

The title says it all.
I'm going to a wallmart to get all the things that is necessary. But before i buy a PC box or the equipment, i got some questions to make because i want to do everything perfect and build something that would be life time you know?

I hope that you guys help some " New grower " in this community. =D

Buy a case that has a lot of vertical room. ~20"+ would be a good size, people are working with less but why not give yourself some breathing room.

Use as many lights as you can fit in your case, but don't forget to watch your temperatures. You're plants will benefit from 6500K CFL's during the vegetative stage and 2700K CFL's during the flowering stage. Alot of people run a mixture of the two lights during both stages of growth.

Most PC grows are fine with one or two fans. I'll be running a large fan or two, probably 120mm, pulling air out of case. I'll leave the intake passive. I'll also have a fan blowing on the lights and the top of plants to help cool the case, and the strengthen the stalk of my plants.

Be sure to checkout the Rollitup PC Gang. It's not super busy but you should be able to find some help there.

Thanks for the answers. I will look foward to buy them things today.

Somone could answer my new question? Because i never saw people setting them lights with this powerstrip.

" Is there any socret for the CFL to use on this powerstrip? ((Image of the powerstrip)) "

Updated, please i need some answers =(.

Check out your local hardware store, or electrical supply store. I haven't found anything online you can use, but I'm sure there is something.

Ye, i did it yesterday, where i was that shit was out of stock. Anyway, check out the first post in this thread and tell me if that Pot and tha nuts are good for what i want. Thanks once again. +Rep

alrite mate. what you need to do first is find your case you are going to use. the pot you have a picture of i personally think is the best style but you need to maximize as much as possible, no point using that size of pot if you could fit a bigger one in, this is wher you have to get creative, tupper ware boxes may be better for the job for examlpe, even if you cut the bottom off of a square plastic sack e.g a compost bag. power strips do work well but whats the point when you can wire your own custom light system VERY VERY easily. im pretty new to growing but i use bio bizz nutes and they are working for me, i also know first hand that Canna nutes are also very effective. basically get your case first and go from there,you cant get started without it and remember, in this cae bigger is better.

good luck .check out my thread and another by a pc grower called agreevin.

ppl haven't been too helpful on this thread have they?

for a PC case buy one on craigslist or something like that. that way it'll have a fan already (sometimes 2 or 3) make sure you ask how tall it is, 17-20" or taller is a must.(50 cm)

you'll want one or two bulbs (preferably 1 68 watt CFL full spectrum or similar b/c it's cooler. one bulb will make installation easier)

there are bulb to socket thingies at hardware stores all over the place too.... read up some threads and you'll find some cool stuff...
