Hello everyone. I’m pleased to present to you my very first grow !
Living in a small space, a micro pc grow was the only choice available. I don’t usually smoke much (few grams a year), so this grow is more for the fun and the can I do it if I want to.
I chose an autoflower strain under 69w CFL.
Germination :

Now the pictures !
The PC case. As you can see it's rather extra small. 2 lights on the top, 2 on the right side. The fan is at the middle on the left. I reversed the cover so it now takes the air from the top, where it's hot.

Living in a small space, a micro pc grow was the only choice available. I don’t usually smoke much (few grams a year), so this grow is more for the fun and the can I do it if I want to.
I chose an autoflower strain under 69w CFL.
- Medium : 100% potting soil.
- Pot : the bottom (10cm / 4 inches high) of a 2 liters / 68 fl oz soda bottle. I cut holes at the bottom so water can flow through the pot bottom.
- Light : 3*23w CFL (2 cold 5k, 1 warm 2,7k), with a fourth available for flowering, all placed between 6 to 10cm / 3 to 4 inches away from the plant.
- Light schedule : 18/6 from start to finish.
- Seed : sensi skunk, feminized automatic.
- Growing space : a mid sized PC tower (50cm high). Walls were painted in matte white with a paint spray.
- Air flow : a passive low intake and a 80mm exhaust fan. Had to put a cover over the fan so it takes air from the top where it’s hot, rather than in the middle where it is located ; it helped a lot.
- Temp : temp inside is usually around 24-25 C° / 77F°. First had the 4 CFL on, but temp was high for my taste (above 30C° / 86 F°).
- I don’t bother with humidity or acidity levels right now. Potting soil has a ph of 6.
- The fan doesn’t seem to be strong enough to push air through carbon, so i will try using ona gel.
- All in all it cost me around 120$ to get this going.
Germination :
- 3 hours in a glass of water then wet paper towel between plates
- Germinated after 2,5 days, then put directly in soil
- First leaves appeared after 2 days in soil (cheers)
Vegetation (ongoing)
- Nutriments : No nutriments until 10 days then very little
- Training : “turn around” LST to be done when a few more leaves appear, not much space to grow on the sides. This plant is growing fast !
- Watering : Usually every two days, when the top of the soil dries.
