hey guys i decided to go on more the one forum, im over in grasscity too. just something to overcome my boredom.

anyways so i started a small grow(1 plant) in the beginning of this month. i'm using MG organic soil, a 42 watt cfl(yes i know.. not enough light..) and i started it at 12/12 right off the bat. its in a smaller computer case but i think i can pull it off. it stretched a bit but the nodes are really tight so it should be fine.

ill post a good amount of pictures. from where i started to where i am right now.
note: you may say anything you want in this thread, its open to anyone and everyone.

alright so the first picture is at the end of the first week. had 2 14watt cfls on it(crude and a bad light choice) there was a fan blowing in but nothing blowing out.

the second picture is when i transplanted it into the bigger pot. i kept the same lights on it and put in some fans. i ended up breaking one of the fans so i had to replace it and i put it in a different location.

the third picture was after i got the new light and everything all set up at the end of the 2nd week

it started growing bigger and i couldnt help but just look ati t so i took more picture like 2 days later, thats what the next three are

last but not least the last 2 are where im at now. took those pictures today

i could talk for hours about the things i know i did wrong and should have done better and the things that i should be doing better now but cant do at the moment. i'm VERY limited in space and i think this will do for now. any opinions?

If I were you I would gut that box and get those drive racks out of the way... I gutted mine to just the 4 walls... I drilled out the rivets and pulled all that crap out... you will have more headspace for that plant once it starts to get bushy... just my opinion... you can see my current build in the DIY section...

i went out to the store today and got some miricle gro tomato plant food 18-18-21. funny cuz when i got to the cash register there was a guy i knew from a band who i played shows with a while back, it was weird bumping into him. he was like "yeah soooo what are you growin??" hahah, i think he knows whats up but he doesnt care. i mixed 1/4 of a tablespoon for 2 quarts of water, is that good? cuz it didnt seem like much.
