New Grower PC Grow 1, 46w CFL!

[mooons]

Hi there Unholyfire and thank you for the welcome! Yeah i know i wont get that much from her, but its been a learningjournet for me and i think that around x-mas me and my GF is goin to smoke nice buds,not in quantity but in quality For the next grow i will make a little more effort and money to it and i will throw this case away and build me a new one! Ah i was giving poor information on the lights but there are 2 23w bulbs in there, ive got a OK lightspread over the tops, more light would be great ofc, but the space is very limited and i dont want to get an heat issue this late in the grow.

Im worried about heat also im at 100f and are you dong okay with just 46w my cab i like pc too lol ( i have 3-23w and a 150 equivalent)

Hi Mooons!
Woops 100f sounds very hot to me, whats the size of the box?

I think that 46w is really low, but i thinkt that the smoke will be a lot better than what i usually smoke

Nothing is better than your own, that you made with your two hands bud:thumbs: Enjoy! when the time comes
@mooons, 100f is hot for cannabis, 85f is really the highest you want the environment to get, below that is ideal. Hope you get it worked out.

there are 2 23w bulbs in there

ah i see, 2 23w is much better than 1 46x :thumbs:. i first grew in a pc case with 2 x 23w and had some good grows and excellent smoke :smoke:
and yes friend quality not quantity it what it comes down to :thumbs:

I had heat problems too when i went up to 3 x 23w and then 4 x 23w. first fix was to have a larger and stronger pc fan for the exhaust and worked great then after 4 lights i had to add 2 x exhaust and i added a pc fan blowing across the lights. In the end i had 4x 23w and 2 x 13w with an average temp around 80f. Just work with your fans, fresh air intake as cool as you can.

I really think your plant is looking great and your doing a superb job. Its going to make some fantastic Christmas smoke. Here is a pic of my last pc grow.

Well my space is about 18x10x18 (l x w x h) so just a little larger than yours i think. And i was recommended to you bc there are not to many micro guys. Might just try 2-23 watters as you have and see hot that works out. I was just worried about having too little light and gettin horrible stretch.

EDIT: thanks AFN member i think i have my problem solved.

Back to your set up its awesome! I will be following it i hope to achieve the same type of result

this man knows the PC issues -- sadly he updated to much better and bigger things lol.
(one day unholy -- i hope to join you in a tent adventure)

heat is definitely the problem in the small grow area -- your ladies are coming along nicely tho.

i wouldnt throw away the case!! -- just keep it incase you want to do a perpetual pc.
even use it for clones/mother/dry box etc etc.

Hey guys!
Been occupied for the last 3 weeks or so, so no time on this forum (Shit is happening to my family and whatnot...)

Yesterday when i was on my way home i smelled the little one in the corridor outside my apartment, and i do not have the money to get something to cover the smell.. She is now under darkness and on her way to harvest, i think its a little to early but i cant fix the smell.. Next time i will have a little tent like 30cmx30cmx60cm with a couple of CFL´s and better conditions

The wet weight is at 20.4g but hey atleast i will get some nice smoke
She´s hangin upside-down in the case with a PC-fan blowing around so that the air will stay fresh!

Sorry about the missing reports down the road but i have had so much to do and think about..

Thank you guys for all the support and help!
