In this video tutorial, discover how to convert a computer case into a mini grow tent for micro growing, complete with setup tips and material recommendations.
Hello Growers,
Today we are going to do micro growing, which is growing in very small spaces. In this episode, we will set up a computer case.
So, first we are going to:
- Remove the motherboard support at the back. For that, we will use the drill and remove all the rivets that hold the support case.
- Ensure that it will dissipate heat at the same time since it is all metal.
Next, for the air intake fan, we will place it here and we will still put two big fans. Now we are going to cut a small cardboard plate to cover the entire back of the case. There you go; now we have made a small backplate to cover all the holes in the case.
For the front, I will make a cardboard plate to isolate the light. Now that we have made the two cards, we will be able to install reflective material inside, which will be the most practical in this situation.
Here, I have finished installing the aluminum tape on the two walls, and I will tackle the creation of the small charcoal filter that I will attach to the back. So the case for the charcoal filter is ready; we just need to fill it. For that, I will use a charcoal filter that is intended for kitchen hoods, so it’s very good.
And there it is! The little cardboard charcoal filter is finished. We just need to spray paint it black to better integrate it into the case.
Well, it might be time to do a test to see if everything works because I haven’t checked anything yet. It’s possible that nothing works, and I will have to redo everything. So, let’s go!
Now we will activate the phone number of…
I’m going to install a small hygrometer thermometer on the front and I will run the probe inside the case. And there it is; the front is finished! But before installing it, we will put the mesh back.
Now that the mesh is in place, we just need to make the customer fabric, and we are going to want to pick the bottom, open the roots, and similarly for the potting soil that also contains cocoa.
For the first phase of growth, I will use a 2-1 ratio: two parts cocoa to one part potting soil. And for the final part, I will use a 1-1 ratio: one part cocoa to one part potting soil.
So let’s go! I think I forgot about the plant. As you can see, it has a slight deficiency.
I hope you enjoyed this little video! If so, feel free to check out Pevgrow’s website and join our Discord service. Bye!
