That would give me 1 sq/ft per plant, assuming I grew 2 plants. I can make the hydro system so that it sits below the floor of the case (Like a sink basin), so the plants will be able to grow to 18" or maybe even 20".

I'd make the top of the case removable for ease of harvest/trimming.

IF I had enough lighting, would I be able to get 3 plants rocking in that case?

Not to scare you or anything FS, but I have one plant here growing under florescents that is roughly 1 square meter in size. Growing in a small space like a computer case is going to be a challenge as to not let them get too big. One big plant like mine... out of the question. Two half its size, maybe... but watch out for the CSFPCP (Cannabis Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Plants, a very scary group of nomadic gypsy growers who have no sense of humor about those who torture plants).

Your goal in that box would be to veg for a very short time and get about half the available size, and then flip to flowering lights very early. I can see how it could be done... just don't much see the point other than the ability to say that you did it, sort of like the harvest in party cups in that picture earlier. It would have to be considered a challenge. If I had to do it though, I would go for a sea of green in there and put in about 3 small clones (known females) and veg them to half the distance to the burn point on your light... and then I would go for flowering with the 12/12 light schedule immediately after they reached that height. They will bush out a bit in flower and will certainly be impressive considering their home life... but as I said earlier... certainly not optimum conditions. You might be able to get an ounce or two with each crop though if you are real good. We will all be pulling for you as you try it!

Do some looking around in the forum and you will find that you are not the first person to decide that a few plants were way more interesting than functional hard drives and motherboards. I will bet that you can learn some tips from those who have gone down this strange path before you. :thumbsup:

emilya Reviewed by emilya on . How much yield? Hi, everybody! I'm Dr. Nick! I'm new to the site, but not new to cannabis. My funds have been limited lately and honestly I'm tired of buying crap bud, so I've decided to start growing myself. I mostly want to do this because of the challenge (I want to grow some good grass here) and it's really only for my personal use and friends. I'm not looking to grow enough to sell or anything. On to the meat: I want to grow inside, probably in a closet. I am designing my own grow case as I plan Rating: 5
