My First Grow Is Within A PC. Need Help.

built a new PC box with super quiet fans. the temp/ humidity is not correct in picture. i just put it in. and the plants look like they are kicking in again... but i transplanted them into single and bigger containers. ideas?

I'm guilty of not reading the entire thread. What is that in the 2nd and 3rd pics?

looks like some weed (not the smokable type).

Comon guys, it's my first grow.... i know they are small. but thats because of all the mistakes ive made already. theyll get bigger and stronger...
but if you were being nice and not an ass. it is an AK48 twin... i planted one seed and they both came up.... people kept saying i got twins...

I was wondering because that looks nothing like cannabis.

LMAO you thought that purple plant was weed? It was most likely a stray seed (NOT CANNABIS) that was in your shit soil. I always laugh when people say CFL's are cool.. They burn nearly as hot as HID.

man.... you guys are harsh..... and btw dickfuck. the CFLs arent hot at all. its only if u grab them. and obviously you've never ccidently hit a HID bulb. that shit cooks ur skin. so before you come up in a newb thread acting like some experienced douchebag, try not to sound like an idiot at the same time.

uh no they don't? I just tested a CFL bulb with my IR thermometer and it is 153 degrees F ON the bulb. I know for a fact if I could get my IR thermometer to touch the HID lamp it would be well over 250 degrees F. Possibly near 300. My MH I tested was 213F ON the cooltube GLASS, not directly on the lamp.

And that's with me using a cool tube. It would be much much hotter if it wasn't air cooled. But yea, I don't know what that purple plant is but it definitely isn't cannabis.

so i should pull it... maybe its a retard potbaby... lol... idk. it isnt hurting anything to keep it around a little longer... at least until im positive its not weed... like. i need prooof. haha

I've literally got tears rolling down my face!

I wouldn't pull it, I'd put it in a window and find out what it is. I've never been able to make my brain imagine my plants, topped and LST'd even, growing for 12 weeks and still fitting in a computer case. I really hope you show us how they look in 2 1/2 months, still in the case. I do hope it works out, it just doesn't seem like enough space but I'm probably wrong.

My veg cabinet is all CFL's, while the flower tent is 400w hps. The cabinet has been running 77-111 while the tent has been 77-95, but I think that must be because the cabinet is so much smaller than the tent, and all the heat is trapped in there (like it will be in your computer case). Plus there are 5x 100w cfl's in that little area. So I can see how the guy thought CFL's were hotter, but overall cfl's are much cooler, and my temps are only due to their environment. Imagine all the heat from a 400w hps inside a computer case - that would be some crazy heat.

If heat becomes a problem, consider running your lights at night to reduce the heat. I've read electricity is also cheaper at night but I don't know for sure.

About it being a retard ... I don't think it's even weed, but I grew a retard one time and it gave me some good weed to smoke. Retards need love, too.
