I'm sorry but i never understood the PC grow. You don't get much at all...maybe 2-3 grams.

i know, as i said i will change alot of it, i hope to get another 3 - 4 lights and replace that damnspotlight, i just need lamp holders and some solder and a soldering iron and mayb a glue gun then ima fix this case up properly, now is just a template.

Ah ic. You might wanna try to wrap the inside of the pc with some mylar, or something along the lines of that...the shiney holographic wrapping paper will do, make sure it's as shiney as you can get. Don't use alummiun foil, as it acts as an insulator, and will trap unneccesay heat. You should also remove the drive bays, give you more room.
To be honest a solid cardboard box would be alot easier to work with, and yuo'd get more in the end.
Good luck, if you have any questions, i will be more then happy to help a new grower!

it was in the same pc case except it only had that damn spotlight, growth wasnt that bad then one day they just dried up n died, how can i avoid this with these new seeds that ive actualy payed for, i got the ones that died from some thai weed, dno wot u call it in the states.

It probably died from lack of water, and too much heat. Plants thrive best at 75F, but will tolerate higher.

can i also have a lil bit of advice on lst, toping and pruning.
you don't need more light bulbs, you need just one strong CFL and some good reflective walls.
your best bet with PC grows is LST or screening.
LST is pulling branches down with some weight and make them grow to where you want.
Screening is putting a screen and threading the shoots that pass it back below the screen.

thnx, im thinking of trying that scrog thingy, i kud hang it from the drive bay, do u guys think the plants would adapt to the necesities of its environment.
you want to tie that plant down as low as possible using hooks or something.
i wouldn't go for two plants in one PC box. i'd do one at a time tied down as low as possible...
and you could pull off 15+ grams in that box... just read up, don't over water, don't over feed and it's doable....

I use a shop towel, clean of course...place my towel on a plate spread the seeds on the towel, fold it over a few times, pour some water onto the plate, place another plate overtop, put it in a black garbage bag, and put it in a warm place...not too warm though you don't want to cook them. Within a day or 2 they start to sprout.

thnx man, i woz wonderin, im getting 2 seeds of purple widow regular, if i just water soil, pencil hole, pop a few seeds in a pot, will they grow? if so can i control thier size by using a smaller pot and restricting the light cycle by vegging 18/6 for a week or under and then flowering under a scrog screen, how long do u think they will take to flower.
