PC Growing Case - Multiple Plants

Hey guys! Just thought I'd share my new case that we made up and the plants that I'm growing in it.
My first time growing, so if anyone can help out with my questions, that'd be bloody fantastic.

I've already started them, which I didn't do so well, because I germinated two seeds, started growing them, then germinated some more, roughly a month after. So I have plants growing at two different stages in the same case. So I think I might build another case (opinions are welcome!).


This is them so far. 3 bulbs above, one fan to the right at the bottom and one to the left at the top.
I'm putting a fourth bulb in later on this week. The left plant is drooping a little, as it was too far from the lights, so I had to centre the light bulbs so the plants get an equal amount of light. So hopefully in a day or so it'll spring back up.

At this stage I'm starting to research good ways to help them bush out. The seeds are indica, so I know they're naturally bushy, but I want them as bushy as possible, to help them grow as much bud as possible (suggestions please!).

I'll keep a updated picture of the whole box here VVVV

I can't seem to figure out why this one is drooping. I moved it closer to the bulb, re-arranged the bulbs to give it and even amount, watered it, snipped a few of the unwanted leaves and helped spread out the leaves so they have better access to light. Any suggestions?






Going to start re-modelling tomorrow. Going to rip the foil off and replace it, any suggestions on a better reflective surface that I could coat the inside with? Also, need to find some decent bulbs, any suggestions at what watt I should look for?

Is it better to have small pots? To restrict the size of the roots, or to have bigger pots, so the roots can get huge?

mylar or white paint would work

Anyone know much about which is better, big/small pots?

It would have been better to gradually use one of those seven or eight inch long four to five inch wide Glad Tupperware things for left-over food with one plant, then keep topping the plant so the one plant branches out and takes up the whole PC case. You shouldn't have done two unless you're unsure of the plants sex. But the more room you give the roots the more your plants will want to grow. keep in mind your plants can double in size while flowering too. Pretty soon you're going to want to build your own mini wooden grow box which is better because of customization and you can fit two plants nicely.

Idk what the sex of the plants are. So if they're both females I'll just try bush them both. But tomorrow I start plans for my fridge grow case. So once these get big enough, I'll move them onto the fridge. But I may try that next time. And just bush the fuck out of it and pack the case. Cheers.

So they're doing pretty well, but thinking about maybe putting a light source on the sides, to help keep the undergrowth going. But since the case isn't very wide, it might heat it up too much. Any suggestions? Also, any tips on ways to help bush?

Well, the girls are looking good. Got some major work to do tomorrow though.

Just remembered, got to cut down the sides of the pot a bit more to allow light to be reflected to the undergrowth that's starting to appear. How much stem should I have that's
exposed? I'll post pics in the morning of the size of the stems atm. Off to bed ~

Well, the girls are looking good. Got some major work to do tomorrow though.

looking very nice !

(Looks like Lola likes them too!)



They're looking pretty good this morning. Tried tying down the small ones before they sprout to much, so hopefully they'll stem out some extra ones going towards the light.

Two questions, do I need to cut down the side of these pots?





And what would be the best way to help the undergrowth obtain light as well? Since it's in such a small space, it's hard to have anything too close to the plants otherwise they'll heat up (the reason why I think I'm going to start working on a full sized Fridge Grow Space).

Well, I cut them down. This look allgood?


Well, time to let loose.

Well, get a dinner plate (Paper), spray paint it flat white, and cut a line to the middle, now place your stem in the center, and you have a reflector.

Looking good! You should put your seedlings closer to the light so they don't stretch.

The seedlings need to be in individual pots. At least get 3 separate party cups for them and hurry before their roots get entangled which they may already be.

Also they do need to be closer to the light.

Other than that it looks fine, but I think you are trying to grow way too many plants inside of that pc and it's not really going to work out for you in the end. I hope you get your bigger space set up soon.

I just made up a little something for the little ones. Going to have to do until I have my second case sorted. Just got a little reflective case with a lamp overhead. Will do until my second pc case is ready. One case for Vegetation, one for Flowering. I just put them to sleep. I'll update with pics soon.

That's going to have to do for now. But they're sleeping atm so I'll update pics for both cases when they wake up. I'll go buy some cups now, and repot them when they wake up, cheers Billa.

So they're like this now, and I'll put an update of the case when they wake up in an hour. But I'm about to go down and get some plastic cups to put the seedlings in.

Upgraded to this little cabinet, which will do for now. The back behind the light is open, but hidden from the front, so it doesn't warm up in there but the light can't be seen.







They're looking pretty good. Just changing their routine to 18/6 and then going to change it to 12/12 because unfortunately, idk their sex so I'mma take the time and find out, then carry on vegetation on longer.
