You can beat that. I ran across the other day the shot glass challenge. Some of these guys pulled off gram sized buds in a ounce of soil.

The Pineapple Express are doing great, they are about three weeks from seed. I don't plan to do any training. These are also regular seeds, so I need to start looking for sex pretty soon.
The Deadhead OG are finally going well. I didn't use the starters or a dome this time. They had a hard time shedding their helmets. So I assisted them, but their little baby leaves were still stuck. I had to carefully cut them open. I'm not sure if I didn't let them soak long enough, or if it was the lack of humidity. Next time I'll let my seeds soak longer. I topped off the soil and watered them with a very weak nutrient solution (some run-off diluted 3:1 with water).

So, I'm going to pop two more seeds this weekend. Here is what I have to choose from:
From my dispensary (free):
Super Lemon Haze S1
Super Lemon Haze F2
Super Lemon Haze x Pineapple Express
Super Lemon Haze x Deadhead OG
THC Bomb F2
Seeds of unknown origin:
Mexican
Purple Trainwreck
"L"
Free seeds:
Delicious Candy Cheese (fem)
Afghani (reg)
Not going to run them in here, but I also got some Reggae - Juanita de la Lagrimosa and Heavyweight - Fast and Vast Auto Flowering. I already have plans for those.
I grew the SLH S1 for my first grow. I have some unsexed THC Bomb in veg right now, and I already have 2 SLH x PE and 2 SLH x DOG. I'm leaning toward the Afghani for some indica, everything else is pretty sativa dominant.
Anyone want to see something in particular?

OK then Delicious Cheese Candy it is! Seeing as this is a PC case, I am going 12/12 straight from seed.
I was going to do the Purple Trainwreck, but Shawkmon sold me on the Delicious Cheese Candy. I'll do the PTW next. The SLH x PE are the first ones I did, see below.
Put the two seeds in a shot glass. I filled it with some water from my cloner. I figured the water probably has some good stuff in it for them. Then I put them in the basement on top of my cable box for a few days.
Watered the plants. On the right are the SLH x PE at 4 weeks, on the left are the SLH x DOG at 2 weeks. I keep checking for any flowers, but have yet to find anything.

that thermostat model seems to run off batteries. It can probably switch any low voltage circuit, either 12 or 24V.
You did great work with the design and build of the pc grow, ReikoX!
But you can probably move those plants closer to the bulbs. I mean as close as they can be without getting burned by the bulbs. Cfls are not that good with light penetration, so better keep plants close to use that light efficiently.

It has no problem handling the 12V load on the relay. It can be read as up to 24V.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm still trying to figure out a good way to raise the plants since they are all different ages. The LED side lighting seems to be helping a lot thought. The SLH x PE have secondary branches on all four nodes.

The Delicious Cheese Candy seeds didn't crack after two days in water. Time to resort to the paper towel method.

Only one of the Delicious Cheese Candy (DCC) seeds cracked after two days in the paper towel. I can't complain for free seeds. I filled a 3" pot half way up, watered with 8 ml/gal Bio Vega and 16 ml/gal Rhizotonic. A hole was made and the seed placed just below the surface.
Since only one DCC cracked, I put this one in the paper towels.
Fed everything else with the same seedling mix as above. I looked closely at the SLH x PE and think both are females.

Great day for the PC! The Holy Grail 69 popped over night! I planted it the same way as the DCC. The DCC broke soil and is opened up. And both SLH x PE are females for sure now.

Watered the plants. The SLH x PE are flowering nicely. No sign of sex on the DOG yet. The DCC and HG69 are getting their first set of leaves. Got two more to go in this weekend. I'm thinking the Purple Trainwreck. They are pretty old, so we'll see how they do.
2015.11.15
Started more seeds, this should completely fill the box. I chose the Purple Trainwreck (PTW) for the final strain. The source of these seeds are unknown, and the guy I got them from is kinda shifty. They were not that great looking so I picked four hoping to get two to germinate. I scared them with sand paper then put them between paper towels on a dish, covered with a bowl, placed on top of my cable box.

That is one clean setup you got there !
My first grow was in a PC case, it wasn't even close to as pretty as yours.. but it did the job.
For years I have been dreaming of a setup of 3 cases. One for moms, one for males and for the girls.
I feel like your PC has finally inspired me to start looking for the cases and make this dream of mine come true !
Atlest they could serve as a place for all the seeds that never get popped to live their life
Maybe I'll start with just one

Thanks DeepestCover, go for it. This is exactly what I want from this, to pop some of the seeds and if I find something nice try to reveg into a mom.

I've been having problems with my main grow. I think I tracked it down to a pH issue. My tap is pH 8.0 and I was using that. Now I will be using citric acid to lower it down to 6.0. So I watered these guys with pH 6.0 water.
These SLH x PE are about six weeks from seed. They have been flowering for about two weeks. I wasn't expecting them both to be females.
These DOG are about four weeks from seed. I haven't seen any signs of sex yet, but I expect to any day now, though I have a feeling both are males.
Finally the DCC and HG69 are about two weeks from seed.
Overall shot of the PC. This little project really cheered me up today. I was super stressed out and anxious so I reached for my CBD jar. It currently has some Nordle in it. I grab a bud and stuff in into my pipe saying to myself, I need more of this in my life. I look down in the bowl and found a seed!
So I stuck it in a paper towel with the others. The other four PTW never did anything, I'll give them a couple more days.

Yeah, it's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. Sometimes nothing germinates though (PTW and Nordle still show nothing).
