Ok so I have a new Pot, it's the full width and depth of the Pcbox about 3" deep, I was wondering if there's anything I should be careful of when changing pots.
Also Iv'e started minor LST! Will post pics after the weekend!

Would it with a pot sitting the whole case, could I plant two in there at once? would that work? or would it steal nutes from the other?Also, transplant when the soil's nice and dry. Go careful, bury her nice and deep to get rid of any stretch you've had. Water, and wait.
don't use auto strains. you can't control when they flower they flower on their own schedule so u wont be able to control the overall size of plant. get a normal photoperiod feminized seed and flower when it reaches 6". you'll wait all that time and possibly yield a 1/4 to a 1/2 oz. and that estimate is being nice. your pot alone might take up half of that box space alone. i would recommend getting atleast 3ft tall by 18wide x 12 deep. for one plant to comfortably get a half oz a harvest.
i dont want to sound like discouragement i just wouldnt want to wait 3months for this smoke and blow it all that weekend

I think the general opinion is that two plants in the same soil will tend to conflict with each other. For a PC grow, one plant is seriously more than enough.
If you don't want to sound discouraging... Then I suggest you don't discourage people in the first place.
Smatz, ignore the naysayers. They love to say 'more lights, bigger box, can't be done'. I'm growing in a box almost half the size of yours, and on my first grow (and I am NO kinda expert) I pulled just under an oz, that's off three weakass 23w CFLs and some lazy lst work. Most people seem to say the Autos are pretty short too, so I can't see why they wouldn't work a treat for a pc grow. Personally, I'd say spend out and get some regular feminised seeds, and flip them when you wanna flip them. You've got so much more control that way. My advice is to just get things rolling, you'll get a lot more help once people start seeing you make some progress. Get pics of everything uploaded, the setup, the seeds, just keep things fresh. There's a tight little community on this corner of the site that are all doing amazing things inside small pc cases. Start up a grow thread, get your seeds, get them in the dirt and learn as you go. It's the only way to really find out how you like to grow.

I might be having to mvoe ina few weeks and Iv'e known this for a while which put me off non-auto's because I have loads going on, I do see your point about regular fems, and I'll probably be using them next time. Hopefully I'll be able to convert a cab in my new place something bigger than this I'd like to grow some strong indica and strong sativa with similar harvest times, Would be nice to have the two available

Day 15 now, It's looking good, going to change the pot today. It's very green no signs on yellowing yet anywhere which is good, I'll post some nice snaps tonight
Changed the pot to a much bigger one, whole pc box and planted it at a side will post pictures about how I should LST.

Ok got some more photos and changed a few things about.
I added a second intake fan onto the case, used another PC fan.
There was something i had a concern about, There was a bit of leaf missing, only one bit but I don't know how it happened, It definately wasn't through repotting, you can see previous pictures after repotting and theres nothing.
And heres some photos of (things)

Ok so It's now day 18 and Things are coming along nicely, Started LST today using some string, and used cottonbuds as a sort of replacement for canes, Just a little sort out really, lemme know if anythings wrong I didn't reallly know what I was doing.
My main concern is the leaf
I don't know what's going on, It can't be being eaten or there would be signs elsewhere? Also the stem seems to have split and has little white bubbles on? I can't get the camera in close enough really
Is this a sign of anything serious? It's blagging me.
I've also moved the light up a bit hopefully they'll stretch out more this way across to the other side of the case
Anyway moving on, heres some photos of the LST.

So It's day 24 and I got my camera out again, Things seem to be going fine, the leaf I was having trouble with hasn't got any worse and it's been almost a week
I know most of you don't use autos, but any ideas when you usually start, hopefully soon ^_^
My LST is going well, moving across nicely, Iv'e used garden wire, the green stuff, my brother had some so i'm using it to tie it down because Iv'e got bad shakes and tying knots isn't my thing!
