I'm new to growing and I'm currently in the process of making my own stealth pc box (live with parents still). So anyways I was curious if my set -up was good enough for one single personal plant. I have the pc box, a timer for the light cycle, a power strip, two cfl lights, the pc box is covered in aluminum foil for reflection, I have 2 fans for the air one blowing in one blowing out. Thats my setup. And I was also curious about how to obtain seeds without ordering. If I buy a bag of weed can I just take the seeds out of that bag? Please help me and give me tips on better setups, im trying to go as cheap as possible.
Help. Im a newbie

Take out the aluminum foil, it will keep temps warmer if it is there.
Yes, you could take a beaner (bag seed) and grow it in your pc case. I would suggest an indica as they are shorter plants, granted this will be impossible to find out until you grow the plant if you do go with a bag seed. I am not too experienced with small PC grows, but I do recommend you upload some pics so people can "see it" in order to critique it.

Risky, if you get busted your parents will be royally screwed
Get Mylar dont use aluminum
Yes you can, just know you could get a male so plant a few
Cfls wont get you much bud bro, And on top of that your bud will be airy. Best of luck
6500K for veg and if you want 2700K for flower
I chose cfls because Im low on money and we already have it at the house haha. But if that isn't enough light could I make up for it by having the light cycle on for longer? And I'm not worried about little amounts of bud, I just want some to smoke personally because I'm sick of buying it. As for getting caught by my parents, why are they going to walk into my room and be like, oh theres a pc case... lemme open it and see whats in it. I doubt I would get caught.

eh, i wouldnt go into growing with a attitude like that. If you think they dont care go tell them that your going to. you can add as much cfl as you want, you will have to compensate for the temperature rise though
but cfl dont ouput enough lumens to really make "decent bud"
my first grow was with cfls and it turned out decent but you wont want to veg long because cfls cant cover a lot of area

Maybe...unless they come in when the ligh are off and your pc case is glowing like world trade center (.......too soon?)
They'll wonder why the hell a pc case is glowing from the inside.
Your case is good enough, if I were you I'd be more worried about security and planning. Your parents are smarter than they look.
Oh they care, haha if they didn't care I'd have a whole room dedicated to it. So I guess my next question is if cfls won't do too well, where can I get cheap lights that work well. I have very few resources because I live in a small town, (walmart, ace hardware). And by adding like 2 more cfls would that increase the outcome? If so how would I compensate for the temp rise like you said. Thanks.

well light will leak out from the fan port
also your not going to be able to fit anything more than a few cfls inside

if your living at home your prob under the age to be on this forum! aside from that it is way uncool to put your parents
in threat of the law just because you dont want to buy smoke! the amount you could grow in a pc grow box aint going
to last you a week so just not worth it.

For the fan ports you could use a 90 degree pvc elbow, or you could make a simple shade out of cardboard.

Don't kid yourself lol.
If you're desperate enough to put your parents at risk then you're a stoner.
