ok so i have made a pc growbox. it only hase one light in it but it is a cfl bulb and it puts out the blues spectrum of light. i have two fans blowing air in and out of the box. it is lined with tinfoil in a very crude way...lol. i am not sure what kind of plant im growing as they are some random seeds tht my brother sent me. i know tht i will have to swap to a biggger planter when i get the plant started off. i plan on stuntin the plants growth with wieghts to make sure it fits in the box. i have a sprout alrealy but it is slow going. one more thing is tht i have made a yeast co2 system and have it vented directly into the cup tht my plant is in. i will include pics as soon as i figure out how.

Just tie them down, don't hang weights... You can punch a bunch of holes in your container and tie the stalks over.

Also, make sure you keep you lights as close to the plant's as you can.

Best of luck

tinfoil is a nono

at wallyworld they sell emergency blankets for $3 that are practically mylar. ive also thought poptart wrappers would be an ideal reflector

you also need to worry about the dank odor youll be having in a few weeks. carbon filters help some but....

also just got a crazy idea im gunna out into effect:
an automaticish watering system but it does deliver co2 rich water. route hose from co2 generator to another bottle. poke hole in the side of new bottle and put hose from co2 generator in and make sure its sealed. now add another hole for another length of tubing from the new bottle to the plant. make sure this chunk of tube is long enough to go into the bottom of the bottle. then add water and shake ur generator and bam watering system. haha stupid idea but it is something to do when ur bored

Fair enough about the lights dude, If it works, it works.
But if you do find that the plants start to grow quite tall and lankey, then you may wanna think about adding more.
Otherwise, good luck! Ill be interested to see some pics of the plants on their way.

Maybe a bigger bulb? Read 4 or 5 small grow journals from start to finish and you'll see why. Also you definitely want O2 rich water not CO2 rich water. Other than that you look like you might be in biz.
