lots of ppl are going stealth nowdays with pc cases and stuff. im interested to see how much you can get off a grow in a pc case

dscb · Jul 7, 2009

That is the reason Im doing it. I have done cab and closet grows. this is just to test what is possible.

Hey guys, just snapped a couple of pics when the lights came back on

not really much change in the past day, but they should start growing more soon :neutral:

Hey guys

Here is an update from today

The one that was originally the biggest (number 1) got burnt pretty bad, but is now doing okay and has some more new leaves, i also transplanted it into a bigger pot.

number 2 is now the biggest, and is coming along quite nicely..

also i just want to know what size pot i should replant number 2 into, i don't want them growing too large (~1 foot), but i will also be LSTing. will a 1LT pot be enough or do i need more?

Pics

1: Number 1
2: Number 1
3: Number 2
4: Area as is

can anyone think of any names for them?

thanks

Hey Caek, girlz are lookin' good. I had the same tip burn that you have at about the same time frame. But my girlz pulled through and are lookin' good. Love your setup. What size case are you using? ATX Full, Mid...?

As for names.... Jenna, Terra and Amber Lynn! :hump:

Hey socal, thanks for stopping by, the case is just an old mid-ATX.

Nice work on the case caekmaster. Did you lift the top to bury the wires?
A 1 litre pot is just enough for a full grow, but If you can give them more then they will produce more buds.

Loving your naming convention too socal

Hey v12, yeh i took the top off to hide the wires, and then put a piece of thin MDF underneath it. supported by 2 more pieces at the front and back (where the fans are).

Hey guys here is an update

I have switched the lights to 12/12 maybe a bit early, but only time will tell.
