I will try and journal my first ever grow and CFL grow. I am a med patient so am legal but thought for fun I would do a PC grow. I set it up like I have seen other pics. I have 3 CFL's 1-36w, 1-32w, and 1-26w. I have a micro bubble grow tub, 2 fans 1 pulling in and 1- 7 or 8" exhaust fan. I used a cheap sunshade for reflectors inside. I can give a total cost in a couple days. Probably somewere under $150 including a new PC case. Here are a few pics. The little ones are a week from sprouts. They are purple jems so autoflowering and should be ready in like 9 weeks or so.

yeah man, at wal-mart they sell little plug thingies for 97c per.
Man my plants don't look so good 
I got some things to change. I think I put them in rockwool too soon from soil. I dropped the sprout in some soil for 1 week then to the hydro set up. I think it was too soon and I had the net pot too far into water and the wool was staying much too wet. I took them out of the bubble tote for maybe a day or so to help dry things out. Here are some pics of how they look now with my new tote. I also removed 1 light of the 3 it was freakin bright in there. Would have been much better to wait 2+ weeks in the soil

I've don't know a lot about dwc grows but you should check out CrazyTrains first grow on RIU. he had a PC case and a dwc grow. that might help you out plus you could ask him a few questions. He's pretty good at PC grows.
here is a link to his first grow in the PC case with a dwc (he is back to soil now): crazytrains-pc-case-dwc

same here tool my link is my first grow so far but they seem to be doing good in they hydro for me lets see some pics when you get the chance
I ended up throwing out the 2 plants in hydro they were gonna die for sure. The soil plant is doing OK it is only about 1" tall and has 4 sets of leaves. I should have had general hyrodponics nutes in the water for the bubble system a guy from another forum told me. I also should have waited another week before putting into hydro. I guess there is a system for adding the GH nutes that keeps the PH at the correct level. For no I will stick with soil till I get my grow room finished LOL
