There seems to be a few PC case grows now so I figured maybe I should put mine up on here in the hope it may help out some of the newbies to get started.
It's a perpetual system so there will always be other stuff in the case, but I have a plant about 4 weeks into flowering and I've had her posing for the cam most days since she sprouted, so I'm going to use her as the star of this show.
I'll start uploading from the beginning, but just to tease you guys into checking out this journal, here's a pic of the outside of my case and a shot of my leading lady at 27 days into flower.
So let's get started.

Forgot to mention this is a 12/12 from seed system.
The strain is Ice Cream, so I called her Granita :) She's about 80% Indica and has a flowering time of 8 weeks.
Here's Granita at day 11 and day 14 from sprouting.

Day 27. You may be able to see 2 rubber bands. The front one is to tie it down low, the other one is to start training her around the top of the pot.
The pot turned out to be a bit too thin for my usual hooks and so here the rubber bands are just taped to the sides of the pot. This isn't good enough, so there's a repot coming soon.

Wow. Thanks for the kind comment Floridasucks.

Here's a couple from day 38. Clearly a bad hair day for Granita :)

She's in her new pot now. It's only 1 litre but it should be ok. If I get trouble with the roots in soil then I can get one of my Hydor pumps in it and convert to a shallow hydro setup.

Day 40 and 42.
Don't get too attached to the little one next to Granita. It's another goddam boy! That's the 2nd one in a row out of a pack of feminised seeds. Grrr.

Day 49.

I'm back to having an all girl lineup :)
There's Granita of course, plus an Amstel Gold and the baby is a CH9 Jack.

I'm looking forward to trying out the Jack. Based on Jack Herer genetics she flowers in 7 weeks, so I may be able to get a full grow done with her inside 11 weeks.
Happy days :)

Thanks FS. I have a 125w 2700K envirolite and I recently added a little 12w 6500K cfl to give 10% blue light. I did this because my grows seem to me to start giving yellow leaves a bit early in the flower stage. I know the buds take nitrogen from them so I wanted to be sure the buds have all the nitrogen they need.
I'm not sure if 10% is just right, but you can see the first yellowing leaves in the first pic below and that's about 3 weeks later than in previous attemps, so I'll stick with it for now.

Here's some more pics then. An individual shot from day 52 and a family pic from day 53.
