Ya I like the idea of the crossing ect,there wasent many options actualy...
If I wouldent have topped so late "like in flowering"...then maybe they would have been bigger,and more yield...
Im not going to complain at all,I like the hole learning process so even when things dont go as planned,we still walk away learning
somthing new everytime
If I only get a 1/4oz...I wont complain because its another bag for free,and it looks alot better then what I have been smoking!

Yup I agreeDefinitely man, we are growing in small spaces and with not much light and the yield we get depends on that, it's just how it works, but we have fun, learn and we get some nice buds as well
Growing isent all that hard and growing with cfl's is even easier to get started...
To be honest,I like cfl's alot...and for the price the do wonders,lol...
Im going to try and make another box soon,maybe another tote or somthing..idk
It would be nice to have some plants ready to flower when these girls come down,oh well...lol

So this is probably one of my favorite pics so far this grow,well there all pretty nice now that there bulking up a little...
I like the fact that atleast one of the girls is stinky,lol...the other is very mild/to very little order!
Im guessing both girls will be ready around the 60th day of flowering...
Anyways here a pic of the small but fat looking indica "has all purple stems and some purple leaves" kinda cool looking,lol...

Thought I would post some pics of my first pc grow,
The only difference is I used 2-42watt bulbs with the first grow...
Here are some pics of her at day 53 of flower...
She was topped 4-5 days after seeing hairs,so that what messed her up,lol...
Theres a couple pics to show the dried nugs,well a couple of them,lol...
By the time I got around to taking pics,I smoked a bunch already

I have a pc server box, measures 15x7.5 and about 23inches tall. covered with mylar, taped with chrome duck tape. two 120mm intake fans, and two 80mm exhaust fans. the 2 intake fans are on the side. one exhaust fan on top back, and other one on bottom front. I have three 26watt 1750lumens each cfl bulb, but the temperature is in the higher 80's, what do I need to do? any help is appreciated. thanks.

OP,
Nice, but I think you should take more advantage of training. Check out these articles. Pay attention to LST because I feel that's your best bet in your setup. Even though a micro grow is obviously never going to yield the same amounts that a very large operation would that doesn't mean you can maximize your potential use of the box you do have. The buds look nice though even though they are small. CFL is great.

An exhaust fan on the bottom front doesn't make sense. Hot air rises naturally, cold air falls naturally, and the point of air flow in a grow box especially a micro grow box is not only to produce air throughout your crop, but to lower temperatures more to the ambient room temperature. This means for the most ideal cooling setup in your case you should have your largest fans in the back top of your case (pulling air immediately away from your lighting is best even though it's CFL it still produces some form of heat that if left unattended will make your box hot) and the smaller fans in the bottom front of your case, but also your exhaust setup should be capable of cycling the air in your box at least 5 times per minute. You are working in an area no where near larger than 4 cu sq/ft. If you have a single fan that moves 80 CFM that means it moves 80 Cubic Feet (of air per) Minute. One fan with an 80CFM rating alone would cycle your entire grow box 20 times in a minute using nothing but itself and passive air intake. You aren't cooling blazingly hot PC components where all those fans are necessary. You are trying to bring your box temp down to that which matches your room. If your room is 72 degrees, and you are cycling air in your box 20 times every minute, your box temperature is going to most likely be 72 as well because 20x a minute is overkill.
EDIT: Just wanted to let you know as well that all of this is based on the paper theory that your box is sealed and air flow is allowed only through the holes given. Obviously if you have an 80 CFM fan in the back, and then your entire front of your case is open (i.e. one huge passive air intake) then your cooling solution is not going to be effective.

You have two 120mm intake fans and two 80mm exhaust fans. That alone tells us what the main problem is. You are forcing more air into your case then you can expel.
