BambooGreen's First Official Stealth PC Grow :D!

Four months after the new year and I finally completed my PC stealth case full tower that I bought on ebay. Having been busy with multiple things, I have some time to have fun with this micro grow :)
My current grow knowledge consist of two grow books that i read over, and many online articles/ grow journals/ forums.

ANY constructive help/ comments would be greatly appreciated, I am starting off with two clones, Hindu skunk and Diablo OG in the same pot since I happened to get both at the same time. Currently i am running 2 computer fans as exhaust fans, 1 intake computer fan, and 1 computer fan used on the inside of the case to help circulate the air in the case.
For lighting I am currently running 2x27 watt 5000K and 1x40watt 2700K the current temp is 82 degrees, when i had 3x27 watt 5000K the temp was at 76, seeing this temp increase in just a couple of watts, I think that i might switch over to a small hps light with remote ballast to flower.(aka the DIY ones). I am planning on adding more bulbs in the 6500K spectrum in a couple of days.
I will definitely be trying the LST technique and if i can some SCROG :)

Finally got some more pics up :) my "pandas" are doing well, I started a little LST on them. The temps have been running cool at 79 degrees F, and the humidity is about 60 percent. I went out to find some 6500K bulbs at a local lamp store and found 2x26 watts so I am running those in there with a 5000K 1x27 watts. I am planning on adding 3 more lights once more of those 6500Ks come in. I noticed that it runs a lot cooler compared to the 5000K i found at my local Home Depot.

As an experiment for this one pot I will be attempting to grow two plants in one with constant LST to make things interesting... (I know many people disapprove but this is going to be a fun experiment)

I am saving my second pot that I could have used, for a cut of XXX master ;p Three plants for one full tower PC case in two pots? HAHA yeah right, luckily.. I found this white cabinet that you will see in the pic down below in my old neighborhood last summer, the dimensions are 12x24x36. I am planning on flowering in this cab with a HPS light w/ remote ballast just not sure on the wattage yet...

The pic that is of lower quality and lots of light was a snap shot taken from a live stream that came from my USB camera(dynex 12 bucks best buy) to my iPhone. I used the Jumi APP to connect my phone to my comp so I can view what is going on with a click of a button from my iPhone through 3G. I thought some of you might find this useful just to check temps/plants throughout the day whether or not you are by your case/cab.

Have a good night guys! -Panda

thanks & yeah that got smoked up pretty fast lol i did give like half once to a friend for a nice bong so a bunch went towards that. The rest i ended up smoking thru that bong before it even got to properly cure. By the time it cured for 3 weeks i only had like 8 grams left lol. this time im going to be a little more patient since i have some genetics this run .

Happy Friday everyone! just wanted to update the thread before the weekend started with some pics of my setup and grow. I added two 27 watt 2' 6400K bulbs(now totaling 133watts), and some more mylar along the top and side of the pc case. So far my grow is going well, and temps consist of, at the highest 82 degrees F and lows of 69 degrees at night. Have a great weekend everybody :D IT's FRIDAY FRIDAY ooooo...:hump::joint::clap:photo(14).jpgphoto(13).jpgphoto(11).jpgphoto(10).jpg

Clones look healthy, although I still don't understand the same pot approach hah. Excited to see the yield, love micro grows.

Thanks :) I got the hindu skunk clone for free for picking the diablo OG clone. At the time of potting I only had one pot so I threw both of them in there, a day or so later I decided I wanted to try to LST two plants as an experiment and for fun to practice. Should be interesting what I yield haha. I will definitely be keeping up with your grow! i have changed a couple of bulbs in my setup again lol, I added two 2x23 watt 5500 K bulbs, 2x26 watt 6500K bulbs, and 2x26 watt 6400 K tubes bringing the total wattage to 150.

Also as a heads up, if any of you guys are close to an OSH they might carry 5500Ks in 2 packs for 8.99.

Hope everyone had a good weekend, wanted to know if you anyone could help me with a problem.. in the first picture(diablo OG) there are some brown/yellow spots and they feel dry, is this due to a nitrogen deficiency? should I cut this part of the leaf? also On the Hindu skunk one of the leaves is torn with dry browning where the tear is, should I snip this part of the leaf? It is on the first fan set of leaves and I did not know whether or not I should trim.

Also this is about day 7 of Veg with great growth from both plants on a 18-6 cycle some days ill give some extra hours of light and take a half hour away from the rest period.

thanks for the info
goin to be doing a pc grow and needed to know how many bulbs i can get away with!
was thinking of installing 7 sockets at top
and 2 on bottom with 1 in each corner (so when growing the underside of the plant can grow some bud too as cfl doesn't penetrate that well through the main cola at the top)
would be using 23w cfls as theyre available easily around here and maybe 2-3 65w cfls from that well known auction site i dont want to mention!

ending up with (3 x 65w)+(6x23w)=333w
now lets just hope i can get 82f as the max temp with 4 fans....
