Pc GroW CasE==Operation FatSally==with CFL 2x20+23w

hello, this is my first ever try at growing. i seen a pc grow case and wanted one so i set about making one. i got the seeds from a mate (2 random ones which havent started), but i also got a free plant from another mate which i think is Hindu kushxhaZe, but the plant was growing in his house for about 4 weeks i think, then he gave me it. i made a micro pc grow case for the fun of it and ill be happy seein the plants grow. the pc case was stripped of everything. i used ductape and some small pieces of cardboard to block all the light(i like, i have 2 other pcs next to it. the whole inside is covered in ductape. at the bottom front i have a 80mm intake fan blowing across the bottom of the plants. at the back top i have an 80mm exhause fan.

question 1= i have seen some little bugs and spiders mainly on the soil but under the plants leaves there is little holes starting to form which i obviously think they are eating away at. i noticed this because the leaf was starting to bend strangely in the middle. how can i kill them, i tried poking about the surface burning it with a gas soldering iron flame, i did notice they were away for a few hours but now i can see a spider still. how can i get rid of these little shits for good, i have lots of photos. can soemeone tll what i need to do.
this is my main concern, cos i have to wait a few days to get another few hindu kush seeds.

ohh and should i cut like a bottle and put it upside down over it to make it more greenhousy with steam?

and i have another bit of soil but how can i microwave it to steralise it?

so far i have just been feeding them water and just water a few times now and then.

can anyone and everyone give me some recommendations please????

and i forgot to mention that i have had this plant for a few days and i have had it on 22/2 dark. here is pics of the grow case aswell, as it all, when i got it it was very straight and strong, but from then till now it has started to slump over, there isnt much room in there, so i wanna start to bud as soon as i can< please give me tips, im in dire need or help!!!

wow that plant is really streatched you really need to put the light a lot closer or add better lighting and the ductape is not gonna reflect anything paint the inside white or get some mylar

i will be, my mate, had this on the floor with the rest of his plants and i think this was the shortest, but he was using a 600w hps i think. i will cover the inside with white paint or mylar if i can get it

any one have any tips for this grow, this is my first. the plants are now about an inch or 2 away from the bulbs, and its grown new leaves. i think burning the top few inches of soil fixed the bug and insect problem? im also going to coat the inside with tinfoil(the dull side) because i cant get mylar. Any Help and Tips will be highly appreciated? hanks

dude just by some cheap white paint alot better than tin foil!

but if i use some white paint, would it even stay on the duct tape. i have a very big surprise for my next grow. itll still have to be small, but ive gotten myself a very large tin of coke. it used to have a cdplayer and radio and all in it but im going to convert it for growing, i have already started to strip all the inside of it out, this will be better cos theres alot more room compared to the pc case but im still going to grow with cfls cos they are cheap and im not paying electricity cos i live with my moma and popa, lol up in the back room. i plan on planning a bit more for the next project, like light placement, fans and so on. the pc case was my first bash at growing, having the pc grow case about a week now i think im going to move to something bigger that i could get a small enough yield to keep me happy till the next time i can grow. the loudest thing in my room now is the fans in the pc grow, temperatures are sweet cos they dont burn and nothing is overly warm. ill add some pics showing what the next grow will be in, or i could just get it ready and transplant the pc plants into the new grow place.

bumpety bump bump, im gonna add some more new pics later

looking forward to the pics! how they doing?

please resize every single picture. its too hard for anyone to follow... just open your pictures in microsoft paint, in the menu bar click on Image, drop down to Resize/Skew, then resize maybe 40% and 40%. save it then upload again.

put phone books or something under the pots to get the plnats close to the light, there strecthing bad..

lol ohh yea, this plant died a long time ago, cos the fans broke and the lights burnt the plant alot, so i started again in a different spot,,,,,,,
