Micro Pc Grow!! Done Right!!!

Well hello to every one who decides to read this thread, i garentee that thtis grow will be interesting.

First off- what i intend to use/do
I have an old compaq desktop that i stripped bare on the inside, i will have cfl lights and 5 mini plants, possibly lst, or mini sog. it will be micro to the extreme and very stealthy. i am using bag seed of an unknown strain.

Lights:
Veg-
2 23w 6500k
1 23w 5500k "full spectrum"
Flower-
3 40w 3000k

Pots/grow room:
1 compaq desktop
5 cut plastic cups possibly transplant into bigger tupperware, i am using soil that i micro-waved then froze to insure no bugs

Ventilation:
1 pc fan intake
1 pc fan exhaust
I have 3 more fans that i can use for intake or exhaust but right now my temp runs at 72.4 with 2 lights on, 74.8 with 3

Plans: i plant to veg for 2-3 weeks and depending on plant strengths, i will transplant then lst before flowering. I have limited vertical space but it can and WILL be done. I do not expect to get pounds of bud off of my plants just something as an experiment. Pics will come soon... Any suggestions are welcome but i dont want to hear negative repsonses like "Thats not big enough"

Ok so here are some pics from my renovation of the pc. I stripped the inside parts and made as much room as possible.. I home made a back panel out of card board so i could get easy access to my plants and posistion the fans where i wanted them. All of the wires run dicretely out of the back

thats pretty cool man. was curious how this is even possible, just seems like too small of a space, but ive seen sites that sell the pc boxes. prob just takes some creativity, which you seem to have. will be watching this one.

word up, the best possible results will probably be from clones, as you can flower them earlier than seeds. seedlings need 8 weeks of veg time before they're mature enough to produce potent THC. so, if you can procure clones for your next grow, it'll be worth it. (it sucks to flower seedlings early, all that time and effort for half THC potency.)

but for now, LST the hell out of them. the reason is, just go with one main cola each because of size limitations.

good luck.

well my new baby doesn't seem to want to open up to the light, the two leaves are just stuck together and i am worried that it will die. has this happened to any one? my other plants in the past have opend up very early on. but this one is disconcerning

does it have like a brownish yellow thing holding them together? first hold off a couple days then if all else doesnt work just CAREFULLY take it off. DO NOT harm the plant. but then it should be okay.
