    My PC case and seeds will be here Wednesday. I will update then. Here are the specs.

    Case:  Raidmax Narwhal Full Tower ($79.99)
    Lighting: 4x 26W 6700k CFL ($10.00)
    Ballast: Homemade, cost around $10 to build.
    Soil: Fox Farm Ocean Forest $15
    2x 120mm fans (free with case)
    Cycle: 18-6, followed by 24 hrs of dark to start flowering cycle of 24-0
    Magic bean: 1 X World Of Seeds Strawberry Blue Feminised Seed, 1x Negra-44 Feminised seed.

    I put the lightbar together similar to @Weedle's, although much less professional looking. Seen here: https://vimeo.com/123590455

  6. @das the lightbar has 4 sockets and I am running 26w bulbs so 104w. However there is room to expand a second bar for 208w but I have to see my current fitment first

  8. Updateeee. I just need to line it with sun reflector and add seed. I won't be moving the light, I will raise the plant to the light. Passive exhaust, etc.
