nice case, 2 will deff be better than 3, once they start filling out. If you stick the power strip on the back panel, you can gain around 4" of height. I also can fit 4 bulbs in one power strip,100w cfl 3-6500k 1610lumen each& 1-2700k 1750lumen. Damn things are so bright we where sunglasses when working with them.

lookin good brother. +rep. I built a little PC box a couple weeks ago that I have been using to root clones and veg seedlings only. I dont ever plant on trying to LST a plant to grow fully in the box, mine is too small. Fun making them tho. I worked hard to make mine look legit too, no zip ties or anything exposed.

you need to stop wetting your leaves when the light is on i think thats your problem, the water on the leaves with the light causes them to burn like that,

What do I think?
Plants look good, including that triploid one.
24 hours without light is meaningless, and shouldn't hurt your plants at all. Don't worry about it.
As Unohu69 said you'll be much better off if you can mount those bulbs horizontally. Not only will you get a lot more light on the plants per bulb, you'll also add a few inches of precious vertical height.
Also, you may see better results with bigger pots; at the very least you won't have to water as much. Bottoms of plastic milk cartons are square and might make a nice fit there.

couple of pics there, the case has taken a beating the last week after some sudden modification ideas popped in my head. im refining the design before I go all out with a nicer setup. I had a 100w HPS in there but am way happier with temps under CFL's.
A buddy of mine is real good with photoshop, so believe em if you want to...

Looks good, the leaves were probably getting burnt from the wet spots magnifying the light for sure, but also check your water source (hard/soft water whatever)...distilled water works great for watering with.. and lastly make sure there are no bugs! Dunno what soil your using but MG is notorious for having lil bugs that make little spots like that from sucking the chlorophyll out of the leaves making your plants energy absorption mechanism less efficient.. Even if you don't see bugs now just be prepared if you ever do!

Flowering depends on your light schedule. After you switch to 12-12 you should see flowers starting within 2 weeks.. You can start a grow at 12-12 and I've seen people have flowers start showing in 2.5 weeks... Theres no real definitive answer to how much you would get out of a pc box grow either... depends on your strand and how you do it... Figure you could pull at least 1/2 oz off each plant you do tho in most situations...?
