Hi AFN!
I call this a nano grow because it's almost definitely going to go terribly wrong - but maybe it won't.
So here we go. I built a growing environment inside a mini ATX computer case. Even as far as computer cases go, it's pretty tiny. For the project, I built my own LED board with CREE XLamp XP LEDs, and I'm driving 13 LEDs at 700mA. I'm putting about 25W into the LED board, and the growing environment is 6" deep by 9" wide. I've given myself about 2" below my custom-built ScrOG net for LST and pre-flower, and only have about 6.5" of flowering room above the ScrOG net!
Inside the computer case, I've built an Acrylic tank in an attempt to keep the growing environment airtight. There's an input fan and an output fan, with carbon filters on both ports. Finally, I spent a portion of my degree developing a climate controller PCB, so I'm using that to keep track of time and set the lighting schedule, although there are a ton of other available features on it which I'm not using for this project.
All of the electronics for this project are conveniently tucked inside the front panel of the PC case, so from the outside, there is only a single power cord visible which enters the enclosure from the lower back.
Here are a few photos and a link to a YouTube channel I started for the project- If you want to follow this project or leave any feedback, I'd love to have you as part of my YouTube community! I'll be keeping updates frequent on this plant's progress and I'll try to show all of my steps for LST, ScrOGing and flowering!
