First Grow ever, PC 12/12

I am new to this growing thing but I have been on 3 different forums reading and learning for months. I thought I would start with a small personal grow and see how it goes. I am actually 14 days into the grow now so I will start by giving a run down of my setup.
This is a PC grow because it needs to be stealth. I had an old case laying around so I gutted it and added reflective material. I originally had (2) 23W daylight lamps in there but now I have (1) 23W daylight and (1) 23W 2700K Fresh2TI bulb, I will be adding another 23W 2700 soon. I have 3 80mm case fans which keep the temps between 75-85 depending on the room temps. I wired all the fans to a LED 12V adapter which puts out 2.5A. The first couple days I was having bad temp issues. I had the fans connected to an old phone charger that was 5.4V and it just wasn't moving enough air. The growing medium is FFOF with about 25% perlite. Now for what I'm growing. I had big ambitions at first and ordered (3) fem'd seeds without really having a plan to where or how I was going to grow. I have (1) G13 #1 Skunk, (1) DNA Hash Plant Haze, and (1) GHS Super Lemon Haze. Once I figured out that the PC case was the only way I was going to be able to grow I regretted my strain choices. So I thought of the (3) strains the #1 Skunk might stay the smallest so I soaked that overnight til it sunk and put it directly in the soil. A day and a half later it popped out of the ground. I am very concerned about height so I only veg'd it for a week and then switched it over to 12/12. I am planning on LST'ing when it gets a little bit taller. Here are some pics of the setup and her first 14 days.

First pics are Day 9 from Seed, Day 2 of Flower. The last one is Day 14 from seed, Day 6 of Flower.

I know you have some height restrictions - the plant will not start to flower until it is mature enough to start the flower cycle. It may be beneficial to give it more hours light until it starts to alternate nodes. Just my 2 pennies. Good luck.

Thanks for the input, I am always open to suggestions. I have read up on some 12/12 grows from seed and they seem to do OK. The yield is smaller, but given that this is a test grow, I would rather have a plant that is a low producer then one that is too big for my space.

Gotta give you an A for the effort in making that computer case a growroom :mrgreen: It should work, but it will smell when flowering. I dont know what your situation is.. But, if your trying to hide this from relatives, :roll: the smell will be a dead giveaway. Good luck man
