Crazy Super Stealth Grow.

Okay so here goes my shot at growing. i only have a small space, it is right below my turtle tank. I still live with my parents so it needs to be super stealthy. Here is my idea... ohhh and please bare with me, i am not a good photo editor. Please ask any questions and propose every idea you have.

Lets start with the basic setup...

Here is the front from the outside, behind this door will be what is called a Tot-Lok, look it up. it is a lock that can only be opened with a magnet. Genius idea whoever made it.

-

Ok now once we open the door we see a big white card board box ( i am using a lot of cardboard box because I ordered it for free from usps.com. I order 100's of boxes so i have plenty of supplies. the white rectangle shows the box and the purple is the Velcro i will have all the way around to stop all light leak and keep it perfectly sealed.

-

Okay now looking down we see a bunch of junk. Once this is cleaned up the bottom will be covered with a Mylar'd piece of cardboard so it is completely shiny. NOTE: while the picture says 9 inches it is actually 11. this is the length of the growing area I have.

-

Now to the left side. Here there will be a wall. this is the white box, it will most likely be made of cardboard (and will be covered in mylar). then on the wall will be a power strip which contains three lights. i will get into the specifics of the lights later.

-

Now over to the right side. here you see another power strip with three bulbs on it. Behind it will be a sheet of cardboard with Mylar. All the wooden area you see will either be covered with Mylar or reflective tape.

-

Now to the exciting part, ventilation!!! it will be on the back of the case and it will be intense. 4 silent fans will be in each corner sucking out 40 cfm of air each. One 8 inch silent fan will be in the center blowing in 120 CFM of air!!!!!!! this creates a slight negative pressure which i was told is optimal. Above the back ventilation panel there are two more power strips will 6 blubs on them!!!

-

Now heres a picture of the actual unit that will be going in. i will cut hole in the front of the cardboard box and then glue the fans where you see the. then i will put layer after layer in between the fans until it is as thick as they are. then on the outside (to stop escaping light) i will put long rectangle tubes with a sheet of black carbon at the end. this will also help a tiny bit with odor and make sure nothing bad is being sucked into my grow.

-

here's a picture from the floor looking up at the underneath. i will cover this in cardboard and mylar so a shining light doesn't come up through my tank. lol

-


Now you know sort of what it looks like. Next i will explain a few of my plans.

- The fans are all run by a silent computer power supply which you can see in the picture of the right side.

- the Ona, which you also see, will supposedly kill off all the odor.

- the bulbs are each 32 watts spirals 5000K which give off 2100 lumens of light. Halco lighting, i will give you a link to the bulbs if you want.
Grow part.

I bought some feminized Ak-48 from Nirvana. i will grow only 1 plant inside the case. i will start it up on books close to the light and then move it down while LSTing. I will use a hydroponic system and i purchased Fox Farm Nutrients to use. to stop the plant from hitting the light i will have a big-holed mesh screen running all around in front of the bulbs.



I think i have covered everything. i am excited for feedback

Thanks GC

 

You guys think this will work?

 

Thanks man... well i will look into wood. the cardboard will be multiple layers and covered in mylar so hopefully more water proof. where i live, the only peopel who would catch me would be my parents. The tot-lok works through 1/2 - 1 1/12 inches from what i have read, but you can find a stronger magnet on a different site.

Thanks man.

PS. i can not find that Ona fan thing, let me know if you think up where u found it.

 

scrog with mylar?... sorry i dont understand a few things you said

 

Here you go man... not the best pictures but all i got

 

well do u think i can fit more than one plant below him? i have seen good results from computrer case grows and they are much smalle

 

what is a scrog set?

 

thanks man that looks good... will this work or is the netting too small? would you recommend doing it with one or two with my set up? ANTOnline.com - Dewitt PN301012 Dewitt 10'x12' Deluxe Pond Net Knitted 30% Mesh Netting
