I like it man! I thought about building one myself to keep seedlings in. I built a remote ballast from a PC powersupply for my 70w HPS, I could easily install this in a PC case and use a fan controller for the ventalation. Endless possibilities with a huge ass server case!

Ok, I'll add some potting soil on the top of those roots in a few minutes! ;)

Yeah, great idea with a ballast outside to keep the heat out. :) But I need mine inside so it is completely stealth! ;)

omg, i would not have the patience for that
Yeah, well... I've had problems and I'm a newbie. I was about to kill it and start a new one and now it looks better... I'm getting better, it'll grow faster now I hope so!! I was watering it like every 2 days... It was TOO much, now I'll water it once or twice a week MAX. I think that was my main problem.

Since my plant is that old.... I turned it back to 12/12 this morning. I'll finish it up and start new plants in a few weeks.

I've made my hand on this one, I'm pretty sure the next ones will be much bigger.

Here is the pics:

Subscribed. Hey man this looks friggin awesome for a pc grow. The only suggestion I have would be this: If you end up finding that the seeds you are growing continually outgrow your pc box, you may want to go ahead and buy some dwarf autoflowering seeds. You can produce a full ounce dry off a plant that is only 14-20" tall, which would EASILY fit inside your case. But, with careful pruning and early flowering (like you have already done) you can keep your plant bonsai'd inside there without having too many issues. I would say more airflow is needed though (just my $.02)

why wait to start a new plant ... how long did it take for that one ?
and its gonna be 2 months before it has a chance to finish up
you got the room man ...
when you fill your pot with soil do not pack it down at all.

Well... I didn't really meant like killing it. I've put it on 12/12 and let it go like this. I think it was growing faster on 12/12 than 14/10.
Anyway, it's flowering and growing now.
yeah, I never packed the soil... I've added soil on top because of roots and it was packed with watering.

Next time I'll water, I'll give it some nutrients.

and next time try 24 hour light during veg. i did 18/6 for sprouting, but as soon as they had a couple leaves, i switched to 24. they grow MUCH faster that way.

i tried 24/0 to start... switched to 18/6 and they grow faster :)
either way ... you will notice the most growth going to 12/12 after vegging
