yeah I know... but I don't know why it's not growing faster... temperature is still around 28 degrees celcius, maybe that's the problem.. I don't know! anyway... I'm keeping it going, we'll see what happens. At least I see some changes since last week... it's not great at all but it's that at least... anyway...

Hey man, awesome grow box, may have to give that a go myself!
On the topic of ventilation, have you checked the direction of your fans? As ideally you want the bottom front fan as the intake and the top back one as the exhaust, that way you draw cool air in over your plant and blow it out once heated by the lights. Also this way you get better airflow as heat rises.
As you're dealing with such a small space you might want to check LST out:

Good job, +rep

Yeah, my fans flows are OK just as you said... but I think my problem are the Carbon Filters... which I think reduce considerably the airflow... I'll have to think about something else lightproof...
Thanks for that LST link, I was think about doing this!

Good News!! It's growing!!! And it's a female! I lowered it from the light before the holidays and I didn't watered it a lot because of traveling and parties... conclusion, I think I was watering it too much! Anyway, here are the new pictures:

Hey TheBlisters
I'm doing a similar thing to you. 12/12 from seed in a pc case.
Did you ever check the temps with the lights out? I only ask because growth slowed on my plants when the temps dropped below about 55F.
LST is very useful for maximising your yields in such a small space.
Good luck with the grow.

It was on 12/12 since december 20. And when I saw the changes, I've put it on 14/10 to get a little more growth... we'll see what happens!! And it's a female, Woohooo!

Hmmm temperature never goes under 18 Celcius... I don't know in Farenheit.
I know about LST, I was thinking about it.... but I'll see how it grows before. I've have lots of problem and now, I think I'll flower it very small and start new plants from seeds in a few weeks.

i also recommend a small bag of perlite to cover the soil and exposed roots before if heat and light get exosed to them it can be bad news
