It's all happening in the DW household isn't it?
Just checked out the last 2 updates and it's looking brilliant in there now fella. Mighty impressive.

That big sucker on sprout#1 could well make it across the pot and throw out some more bud sites in the time the other sidebranches take to start shooting up. I'd take that bet and tie it for sure :)
The other way of getting an even canopy is illustrated in pic 7. If the small shoots are further up a 45 degree main shoot then they all end up around the same height. you can fine tune it by tweeking the height of the main top.
Looking wicked now m8.

Bigger plants show pretty quick cos they already preflowerd. It will still take a couple of weeks for you I guess.

I noticed your digital timer. I will say as a warning, I used a digital in my hydro setup for my pump, after a day the timer reset itself and stopped kicking on the water when scheduled. I know your not using it for the same purpose, but thought I'd share. I've seen gone with a regular mechanical timer, and couldn't be happier, haven't had a single problem since.

Aside from that, kick ass case, looks fucking clean! I'm a big fan of the power strip/light socket/CFL rig. I've seen it often and that looks nice.

I'm also growing bagseed.. had a handful lying around in my stash box, have no clue what ANY of them are. Check it out HERE

good luck and happy growing. +rep for the sexy case

Ok how many lights will i need in a mid size case and also how do i start a journal ill post some pics of the case and stuff. Pre fab. i think it will be fine i have gotten so many great ideas and have gained so much knowledge here i think its contagious i enjoy the learning experience. ty for the help again DW + Rep did you just break all the pop rivets to remove the HDD bracket and the CD-ROM bracket... And the mobo tray. also what kinda light setup are you using how are you hooking the light straight to the power strip. i really like your adjustable light setup. I broke down an old flex light today and have it sitting here imma have to soder it back together on monday. to get the wires to the fixture again, but i got the base off and ill be able to use that for my Up close dome lighting setup for over the babies.

I also have been looking at alot of the plexi glass setups and i dont really understand why people do this can any one explain this to me sorry not trying to hijack your thread. I have a thread in noob section but they told me to come talk to all of the pc growers.!

then talk to pc growers you shall. if you look back at my picks i have two power bars in the case one is a 5 outlet i plug my timer and light bar into aswell as the fans. the lights come from a 7 outlet power bar so 4 lights with a space in between each it works wonder with thouse direct bulb to outlet adapters. and for the 5 outlet power bar i ran its cord out the back so it looks like a normal pc case from a quick glance. and yes i took a drill with a bit and drilled out all the rivets that i needed, dont get carried away and let your case fall apart lol. i think 4 lights are good for a case this size unless you rather just do one 125watt cfl but i like the four and being able to adjust it. as for creating a thread go click the forum link at the top scroll to journals click it then at the top right there will be a link saying new thread click that and tada you got yourself a journal. and as for the plexiglass the prupose of it is to hold back heat and sort of put a barrier between the plant and lights but if well ventilated its not needed. i think i covered everything if not just keep asking.do you know hot to give rep if not its that little scale icon on the top right of my post.
