Will my PC case be too short?

[CageK]

Hello Icmag. This is my first post here, and my third grow, but my first micro grow.

I am trying to grow really small I guess. The PC case I'm using is about 18" tall. I'm worried this will be too small, considering the height of the containers and how far they have to be from the CFLs and all that.

I plan on growing with 3 26w CFL lights.

Is this too small?

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

You could do it,but with the effort your going to spend.Why not go a bit bigger on the box size.And double up on the amount of lights.Cfl's are super cheap to run.If thats what yer set on ,then go for it.

Its just a bit of work ,and ya may get a 8th or a quaterU could try single cola style,and pack them in the spot.Or top a bunch of times and fill the space.Your gonna have to flower them super early ,not to run out of space,or get them to the desired height .And hit them once with 1 application of Bushmaster.Else you prob will run out of space.

Whatever ya decide to do ,best of luck to you.And post pictures so we can be in on the action ,if you can..

Cheers Snaggle

Thanks dude. Yeah, I would go for a cheaper set up, but the people I live with are REALLY nosy, and I can't really go with anything bigger. I have tons more lighting, but I don't have a good box to turn into a grow box yet. I may try it though, I just don't have much money for more supplies.

Yeah, I am planning on 12/12 from the beginning I think.

You can do it, my P.C case is 17 inches tall and I can very easily fit my bonsai sativa plant in there, it's 8 inches tall including the pot (1.5L).

I don't have the plant in there now as it's being used to grow my bonsai mother plants. She's was grown in my speaker box but I have placed it in my P.C case for a couple of days before.

I top or fim the plant then I do a lot of lst'ing

Hope it all works out for you .
