My first PC grow - Barney's Auto Express

Started my first ever grow. I have a full tower server with 2 intake fans, 2 outake fans and 1 additional intake fan that is blowing across (3) 23W 6500 CFL's. For soil, I'm using Miracle Grow Moisture Control. I plan on doing 20/4 light cycle.
I'm growing Barney's Pineapple Auto Express and to germinate it, I placed it in a bowl of water on top of water heater for 24 hours and then placed it in a wet paper towel in a bowl on top of water heater for another 24 hours. It sprouted with a nice sized tail and I've now placed it in the soil.
I do have a challange ahead, as I will be out of town for 7 days at the end of September in which I won't be able to attend to the plant.

6500k is more for vegging since you have an auto and you plan on growing it to term in a pc box you should have 2700k bulbs you need red light to max yields. And install a temperature gauge so you can watch your temps. When I did mine in a pc box temperature was my main concern. When you leave in september make sure your box temp is optimal and try and find one of those plant watering globes they sell the small ones that go in small pots. Your taking a risk leaving them for a week yah might lose your pineapple express.
 
Well this has ended before i even really got started! I noticed a lot of little flies and decided to investigate the seedling and when I unearthed it, it was covered with a TON of small white maggot looking things and the sprout\tail looked like it had been eaten.

Here's a little something something that I needed to do on the side just to get the idea out of my head! But ya, server cases are great!!!
This does have a plant in it currently. It is doing well!! Short stuff auto crossed with afghan kush auto and pineapple chunk.. Had a guy offer me $400.00 for this including what's growing inside of it but I don't sell anything.. I might give it away but I never sell...
