Hi All. Thought I would share my first attempt at growing in a PC case and also using an autoflower strain and using LST.

I am using a Xclio full tower pc case.
3 x 30 watt CFL bulbs.
1 x 120mm PC fan as exhaust. ( passive air intake).

1 x Pyramid Seeds Pyramid Autoflower.
Soil

Unfortunately I am on a tight budget and the only feed/nutes I am using is Dobbies Garden Centres own Soluble Plant Food.


After stripping the inside of the case I sealed it fully using plumbers heat proof mastic, and some Polyfilla for the smaller gaps.
The inside was then fully spray painted using a matt white radiator paint.

I will post some pics showing a bit of the case pre-grow and how the plant has progressed.

I look forward to any and all advice and hope you all enjoy what you see.

The pics below show the case I am using. The first plant pic was taken on 15th July with the 2nd pic 10 days later when i started to LST.

UPDATE #1

Well I know this update comes hot on the heels of my 1st post but the plant has changed and grown a fair bit in the last 3 weeks.

The below pics show where it is now having just started to flower in the last few days.

I have continued to LST the plant where needed and seem to have a healthy amount of kolas.

Any feedback is well appreciated.

they look like they are doing real good they have a great green color, i would lay off the lst or she might get away from you in that space but i think they look great :smokebuds:
 
Thanks Dirty.
Now that it is flowering the only thing I am doing now with LST is making sure the top of the plant is at an angle to allow a few bud sites under it to get max light, other than that I will be leaving be for now as it only has about 4 weeks left before harvest, all going well.

Peace :-)
 
if you want you might want to check out dr. autoflowers fan leaf tuck method. it helps get the light where you want it without removing the leaves:bong:
 
Yeah tried to find his info vids but they've been removed by the user.

TBH I have been tucking the bigger fan leaves anyway as it seemed better than trimming the plant.

I will post a few more pics soon, as I amazed with how quickly this plant progresses.

Peace.
