Wow, impressive mini setup! Those plants are growing like crazy!
I'm doing something similar, but with one Blackstar 100W light in a bit bigger space. My plants aren't nearly as nice as yours! But I'm still working on the cabinet, and I made many mistakes during the grow... Will post details when it's done! It would be interesting to compare the difference between 1 and 2 lights!
Bye,

Hey Merry ... yes would be very interesting to see some results from
your grow !
Here a short updade,
this is end of week 4
in comparison with my last grows it seems that I am around
1 1/2 weeks behind schedule. I think due to all the extra stress
of heavily training and lack of space
so I could imagine to harvest the first buds in week 9 ...
about the training: each bud got it's own "pipe cleaner" ...
totoal count of buds at the moment: 35
I'll keep you updated ...
cheers

your grow !

Great show! Very impressive the way you managed the growth of the plants.
thanks guys!

those LEDs are 150$ each on ebay.
here's the link:

I still don't see the point of 200w in such a small space. I've seen a LED PC grow on this site with 22w of LEDs that got 36 grams, can you even fit more than 40 grams in a PC Case? If you get anything less than 100 grams, the electricity is in my opinion wasted.
Cool? Sure. Practical? Not so much.

Don't think to serious about a PC grow ...
it's a fun grow ... everybody knows that's
ridiculous to put 8 big plants in PC and light it with 200W of LED light
the reason why I take two of these lights is that I can cover a broader area ..
because the plants are growing so high that they are nearly touching the lamps ...
If i would take one lamp, 50% of the buds would get not enough or no light ...
so it's actually a practical issue why I take 2 lamps ...
... by the way, I just meassured what is left from my last grow ... it's still 40g ... and more than half is already gone

just did a first harvest ...
3 from 8 plants got cut down:
- DNA: Cataract Kush
- CBD crew: CBD Shark (Great White Shark x Cannatonic)
- CBD crew: CBD Critical Mass (Big Bud x Cannatonic)
that's the PC just before harvest:
the 3 plants which got cut down:
CBD Shark:
down: Cataract kush / and up CBD critical Mass(yes, not more than one gramm ;--) ...a very week pheno:
one more super-macro shot from CBD Shark ...
____________________
from this grow I will get mainly 2 qualities of bud I guess. half of it which was growing on top (50%milky/50%amber) will be knock out (at least the cataract kush), the other half which was grown down in the forest (all transparent trichomes) will be very mild and high ... excuse my poor English :---)
I can't wait to try the Cataract Kush, this bud looks dangerous ...

Hater? Pretty much...
Good work Teri! Waiting on one of those (100w'er) myself. Would love to see what you can do with 2x the space and a scrog... Definitely hit the QP mark, for sure! Good growing and positive vibes bredren
...
wow, awesome growing skills

so you reckon you got a good couple of oz in this setup, i hear so many people say its not worth it but when i see yours its deffo worth it
I don't mean for this to come off as disrespect to the OP grower -- the thread has been quite entertaining and I thank him for sharing his build and his grow with us.
That said, there's no way that those few buds (which appear to be quite "airy", too) are a "good couple of oz". If the above in the final shot dries to more than 10-14 grams, I'd be looking for the lead shot in the bud. It's airy enough that it might not make even that. Together, in all three pics, it might make it to 38 when fully trimmed - but even that is in doubt. The bud looks too airy to reach that weight.
Most of the very good PC case grows come in at 38-42 grams. To do better than that takes: 1) an exceptional case build which is perfect in every detail; 2) the right strain; 3) the right nutes and grow method; 4) all of the above are fully dialed in and it's a second run; and, 5) a green thumb on the grower with a bit of luck to boot.
Aerohead's Aeroponic PC case grow, which is the high-water mark of PC case builds here on ICM did not even break 40 grams on his first run. (His second run got halted by mold and I don't think he ever did a third run with it).
You can get one and a half zips out of a PC case with the right build -- but two? That's currently the Mount Everest of Harvests from PC Case grows on ICM. I've seen it claimed on other sites, but the grow documentation and harvest shots which would prove it are conspicuously lacking.
