Sadly this one died some time ago. When I get enough free time, I will start again with a stripped PC case grow, which will have a lot better ventilation.

mako: If you mean that <300MHz CPU, then that was the first item I found with suitable size and weight for LST. If you mean that bigger thing with display, that's my timer. Afka: Thanks for tips. I will surely clean up these old leaves then. I will also try to get my hands on some suitable...

Yes, lights are an interesting topic and I really would love to discuss it more, yet, I am not interested enough. :D Meanwhile, in the growbox: Tiny little surprise-plant is not so tiny anymore. Hopefully it keeps on going. My big(ger) plant seems to have some deficiencies, but I'm too...

But doesn't all the electricity it uses (in watts) end up as heat anyway? So from the heat point of view, 100W of CFL and 100W of HID should end up generating the same aumont? I, by no means, say that "this is how it is and that you are absolutely wrong", but this is how I understand it.

Thanks for the warnings. Sadly (or luckily?) the chances of me getting that MH are getting slim. In my vegging box I have 40W worth of CFL. 75W would roughly generate 2 times more heat, yet with this PC I could construct a better ventilation. I will do my best to have a good ventilation, so if I...

Today I transplanted this little plant that appeared in that pot. Hopefully I didn't hurt either (too badly). Also, I got myself a PC case (to turn into a flowering box), stripped it down and tried to remove most light leaks. I'm hoping to get a MH bulb soon (I know, HPS would be better for...

Update. It's doing good. Started LST about a week ago and it's cooperating just fine. Looks like it's no longer alone. Is that just some weed (no pun intented :D) or this might become a real plant (one day it's good for transplant)? It hasn't lost more leaves. Those laying on soil are just...

I think it's coming back to life. There seem to be new leaves in the intersections. Can anybody confirm that it's coming back to life or is it singing it's deathsong? EDIT: Hehe, didn't notice the new posts until I posted myself :D. I am NOT using a PC case. My case is two-three times as wide...
