This is probably a stupid question lol but that is only one plant per pot right? Forgive my ignorance.

What do you do for ventilation? With my setup it would literally be a small closet with a door on it. Just put some small oscillating fans in there and I would be good or what?
There's 3 plants in that one pic n only one plant in the other...u can grow em whatever size u want...depending on veg time And training...and yes a fan in the closet w the door cracked is what I would do...my set ups are open faced...in the garage

The closet is sounding more and more promising. I got the same strain of Kush that you grew in some of your pics I have seen, and I am wondering about the smell. Super stinky? Stinky? Not bad?

Damn, now I am a little worried, but that weed does look amazing lol.

Well the seeds are already on their way so that is what I will be going with I guess!

I have 3 fans in the case total, 1 intake and 2 exit fans, all running at a full 12V. The intake is of course at the bottom and the 2 exit fans are right in line with the level of the CFLs. I guess I will have to monitor it really close right off the bat to see how hot it gets.

I would love to make that LED setup, and that is an awesome walkthrough, I am just not great with that kind of stuff lol so I am going to give the CFLs a run.
You'll need to factor in your carbon scrubber, which will slow airflow quite a bit, raising temps. I'd recommend finding pc fans with good static pressure for this reason (Noctua, Scythe). Cannabis STINKS in flower so not having a good one kind of defeats the purpose of it in the first place, which is stealth.

The reason people fail with PC cases is that after they jerry rig some cfls (which take up a ton of space and are hot) they have almost no space for soil or plant height.

The best PC cases I've seen use full towers, DIY LED or pll for lighting, and have the airflow/odor control figured out. I've seen a few with 70w hps or cmh, but it needs a cooltube. It's a very difficult way of growing and many (if not most) give up and go bigger. Like I said I can pull over an ounce in mine, but it's heavily dialed in. The first few runs were not that impressive.

Here's a pic of my 1 in the closet, just for an idea, and I run lights at night for temp and crack the door.jan28pic13_zps8beef6a7.jpg
