New pictures please.
i'm using an emachine tower too...haha. +rep! what are your temps in there? and is that windshield reflector stuff you lined it with? i tried using that and my temps were out of control...too well insulated. i just went with flat white spray paint. your plants look a lot like what mine did. one ended up being a dude, but i have one lady coming along well. you can check it out here: https://www.rollitup.org/stealth-micro-cab-growing/515726-my-first-grow-pc-case.html lost a lot of it in the 'great data loss' last month, but you can see where they're at now (kind of, i need to update with new pics)

Damn your's are growing might fast, I'm thinking it may have something to do with my lighting, either the wrong lumens or something. I only have 42w total in there, but I'll be doubling it soon to 84 when i get my Y splitters. May even get all 42W bulbs and have 252W, then they should grow REALLY fast.

The temps range from 75 to 80 the fans keep it pretty cool. Yeah im hopping i get a girl but im not too sure i will. Yeah its the car reflective stuff it does insulate but so far the temps are good.

Yeah i have 110 watts in there right now. They like it. They grow the most after watering, ill check on them the next day and you can tell a big difference. Im doing 12-12 from seed since i dont have much room to grow with. And the bulbs are 2700 k. It just depends too on how long you want to veg if you veg go with 5000 k or 6500 k bulbs wich are daylight bulbs if you want to flower go with 27000 k bulbs wich are soft white and thats what im doing is trying to force flower.

So you're using the 2700k the whole time due to the small size of the grow box? I'm thinking about 6 of these:http://www.1000bulbs.com/category/150-watt-equal-compact-fluorescents-6500K/

They are kinda expensive though, and I don't think home depot caries them

Iv got six of those 42 watters... they are quite large and put off a good amount of heat. good luck!

Do they make your plants grow fast because that is all I want at this point
yeah, yours looks bigger than my case, and temps in mine would climb to 90* and more in a matter of minutes. with fans at full speed..ridiculous. haha. i ended up with one male, and i'm kind of glad. if they both were ladies i honestly don't know how they would've fit. and i also saw what a male preflower looks like. and the whole, 'males show signs of sex sooner than females' is pretty accurate. even though the male sprouted about 5 days later than the other one, it showed signs of sex almost a week before the girl. i'd maybe go with 6500k until a week or two after they really start to flower. the bluer light supposedly helps keep internode length shorter and helps reduce stretching. if you're really concerned with height, have you thought about lst'ing or maybe scrog?

Show me a pic of your whole set up. Get some pc fans and use them for exhaust that will help some.
