Pc Grow Case...How Am I Doing? (pictures)

hey whats up i just started this pc case and have some questions...


in the pics below will the red and blue led on my fan affect my plants at nighttime?
there is no way to turn it off without turning the fan off..lights are 18/6..


my plants seem very small to me and havent grown much in a week theyve stayed exactly how they are for about a week same height to...only real difference is the 2 starter leaves have perced up abit?...are my plants stunted?...when it first started they were growing about a cm a day...should i add nutrients?

my lights are 2, 42 watt cfls, 6500...


it is also very hot in there at night could this stunt my plants growth?

im almost positive they are indica plants so maybe they wont grow very tall?

any help wouyld be appreciated

peace out.

If you are worried about if the plants is getting tall, you can do some LST on them. Anyway, i love your PC case.

There should be holes on the bottom of your pots, so the excess water can drain. Try transplanting them in plastic pots with those small plates underneath, so the roots dont get moldy.
I would also move those cfls closer to the plants, they should be placed around the plant, not just above, like a HID would be.

Thats just what I have learnt from reading the forums. Otherwise I really like your PC growbox.

Looking good, and actually, I'm betting your reflector, will outperform most other configurations of CFL placement. IDK why guys don't realize that when they aren't using reflectors, they are losing around half their light output. Your setup will work great, as long as you keep it nice and close. Look into LST, and you shouldn't have any problem with heigth issues. That's going to be a necessity. :)

Yes, the excessive heat will drastically slow down growth. Did you cut an "air intake" in the case somewhere? You want an intake down low (taking in cool air) and the exhaust to be up high to dicipate the heat build up. You did a great job with a stealth grow box but I think you need to do some minor modifications. Good job

Nice set up. I would not worry to much about them only being that tall after a week. Mine are about the same hight.
