Well folks its me Billy Blaze of Blaze Art Glass here with my first PC grow. So I bin playing around on Craig's list and I found a bunch of free computer towers so what did I do u ask..... I went and picked them up. People that know me know I have done a lot of different size grows and I have done some things that they said was impossible we'll I have never done any micro grows thought I would give it a try actually my mom challenged me to do a grow that cost me as close to nothing as possible except electric. Here is what we have.
2 PC towers home made
8 42w cfl between the two
1 12 volt fan controller DIY
And a DIY wick system that she saw on facebook made out of coke bottles
And because someone will ask I'm sure. The genetics well this is where it gets tricky I was told seeds are only good 3-4 years under optimul conditions. My seeds are at least 15 years old they are a cross between True ATF And Elvis witch is a red hair skunk. I have tryed to germinate probably 75 of them about 6 have split there shells and 2 of them have actually started growing. So I decided to try this out. It's easy to grow good bud with good vibrent seeds but what about all the strands that wer lost. I talked to some old heads (growers in there 60s and 70s) that told me that the smoke was better back then so to that I say lets see.
Now with all that said sounds like the cards are stacked against me you might say. I say why is it worth doing if its going to be easy? Plus I think it would be nice to see a strain that so many people back then enjoyed being enjoyed
Being enjoyed agine. And before anyone asks yes I did build an extra box to bring a nice fem to seed. If all works out I will do this strain in a large grow from clones from the pc.
Now this is getting Long winded so I will cut it short we are in day 2 and day 3 of actual veg growth and I have them under 18/6 42 watt halogen lights yes halogen. And will keep them that way for about a week they are in mg potting soil and I know the ones in the big pot are not pot it's sweet baisl just wanted to see if the 42 was going to grow anything
Ok so for the fan controller it is a computer power supply it has a bunch of 12 volt Leads so its perfect for what I need now I will try to keep this updated as often as possible so you all can see the progress or pure fail eather way you will be here with me to witness it eather way ok and photos to come
