Well they look healthy so if your lucky u get 20-30 grams.
Whether its worth it or not is really up to you!
If you plan to flower them in a pc case then i would suggest a server case and your going to have to tie the crap out them and do some lst

It Can work, it is how I first got into growing. But as time goes on with limited room, it get frustrating. Thats when I built a HUGE wardrobe look alike, and turned it into a grow, and it could fool anyone. 4 plants might be a bit much in the space your are working with, But best of luck to you!

It can work, I've seen logs where people get an oz as a single plant in a case which is (at least in my area) worth more than a modest PC grow set up. You will need to LST extensively to ensure the plants bush out as much as possible, and I'm not sure how you would fit 4 in one case, 2 per case is a maximum unless you have a server case.

I was going to start in a PC case instead I decided to convert a chest by taking all the drawers out, the fronts off and screwed them together to make a door. added some hindges sealed it all up. I have no idea how I would have managed one in a PC case especially in the last few weeks even with a carbon filter the smell of 2 plants traveled through the whole house . not sure about your stealth requirements but smell might be something to keep in mind either way like the others have said LST will be a must if you go w a PC case. Good luck

You won’t get much from a PC Box.

In the same amount of time it would have taken you to not get much from your PC grow, you would have got much more with a bigger area.

I like 1sq ft per plant, at least.

So to me the minimum space you should allocate for four plants would be 2ft by 2ft +1sqft for a fan 1 sq ft misc.

And if you want to allocate a little room for LST you’re talking a minimum space of 3x2ft or better still 4x2ft at a minimum height of 3ft 6in if growing with T5/CFL.

There is something to be said for Camo growing.

I like the idea of it.

It's going to be interesting knowing when to flip to 12/12 so you don'tt over grow, the space.

It's probably gonna be guess work/strain dependant and all those variables.

You should turn this into a grow Journal.

Seems like it would need a gardener with a few grows under his/her belt to pull it off.

I'm curious.

How do you light these things, where does the carbon filter go?

Good for you man, working with what you got. I grow organic, in a tent, in soil.

I'm kinda old school like that.
