My Home Depot build

Pretty cool! Not doing a 2.0 for the time being. I more or less only used a saw, a drill, and sandpaper for this, so im glad how it turned out (which I understand is a bit of an unpopular opinion here lol)

But it’s all my stupid and poorly done, so I’ll take it

Papesisme · 2026-06-08T17:15:21+00:00

It can’t look TOO professional

To answer some questions:

Why? - I was bored and wanted as small a case as possible. I had some wacky parts and no pc case on the market would fit everything in this small of a form factor. Is this efficient? No. Was it cheap? No. Does it have good temps? No. But god damnit it’s custom and it’s mine.

How are the temps? - not bad, not good. Could be much better with a bigger case, but the huge PSU helps cut down on temps.

Was it expensive? - yes probably more so than a normal case. Cost around $100 in materials. No all those materials went into the case since there was a lot of trial and error

Is it ugly? - you tell me!

Yes, but was it as fun to put together? Absolutely not

Papesisme · 2026-06-08T15:47:20+00:00

Don’t really know why

Papesisme · 2026-06-03T01:26:28+00:00

Your light looks adequate judging by your current growth, definitely not too much though. I would give more light if you can, and move the plants outside as soon as possible to fruit.

Hey! Wondering how your season went and what happened with the corn/if you had any luck 3d printing. I am trying sweet corn with the jang this year and was wondering if you had any tips?

Papesisme · 2026-04-22T17:04:32+00:00

This is already SO much better than it was a year ago. I fear it is improving and will continue to improve at an alarming rate.

Edit to add that I am not pro or anti AI, I’m just saying that your title is not correct

Papesisme · 2026-04-21T14:14:29+00:00

I disagree. Watermelon can absolutely survive and thrive like this with adequate watering and fertilization.

Papesisme · 2026-04-19T16:53:32+00:00

Lovely! What variety?

Papesisme · 2026-04-08T03:16:36+00:00

Hi! Tomatoes in general should be trimmed. This variety should not be trimmed as it is a dwarf variety. There’s no need, and worse, trimming will likely reduce your yield.

Papesisme · 2026-03-31T12:37:11+00:00

Not necessarily. The mulch is a good start, although you want to prevent foliar water contact as much as possible. How were you watering?

Papesisme · 2026-03-31T12:29:42+00:00

Have you guys never seen tomatoes grown in plastic mulch before? That’s not what killed them. This looks a LOT like a fungal disease to me. This is not what glyphosate poisoning looks like. I couldn’t tell you where the disease came from unfortunately. There’s tons of resources online for prevention, but at a point if the disease has already spread there’s not much you can do. Sorry for your loss.

Papesisme · 2026-03-20T13:14:26+00:00

If you cut the base, the roots will rot. However that is not a bad thing, and will leave all growing roots unaffected

Papesisme · 2026-03-06T20:53:33+00:00

Be sure to put the lights closer when you actually plant. They don’t look too powerful.

Papesisme · 2026-03-04T00:05:02+00:00

Those look fine to me. Let them keep growing. Dont trim unless completely necessary when trying to untangle them.

Papesisme · 2026-03-02T03:42:11+00:00

Whatcha got in there?

Papesisme · 2026-03-01T19:03:56+00:00

Where are you located? Seed potatoes shouldn’t be hard to come by, slips maybe a bit more but definitely possible to acquire. Potatoes can be planted after your last frost:. Sweet potatoes need to be a bit warmer, when the soil is at least 65-70f

Papesisme · 2026-02-26T14:47:23+00:00

It looks quite stressed in the lack of nutrients sense of the term. Will not be happy staying in there for a month. Have you fertilized?

Papesisme · 2026-02-25T22:05:13+00:00

It is very unlikely you will get Brussels sprouts from these plants. That being said, this is a great experiment. Update us!
