Hey all, Been out of the game for a couple of years now. Had some successful outdoor grows a while ago. A bit of a sea change and wanting to do a very small indoor grow. Thinking... PC Case for 2/3 small mothers Small Veg Box for 2/3 plants & small flowering box for 2/3 plants Stuck in a regional area so even general supplies are going to be hard to get to build various things and never been the most diy handyman skilled type so Question one... Are these pre-made tents worth a purchase? At the moment I have my eye on the small varieties of the Homebox brand that is posted Australia wide from an Australia distributor. What competitors are there? Is there so…

Hey fellow stoners, I haven't been active much around these forums lately due to not much internet access. Have not been growing either. Im looking to start a small grow for a bit of personal use, probably just on weekends, so I'm thinking just 1 or 2 plants in a melamine cupboard. Has anyone built one of these before? Looking for any advice or suggestions. I don't think it will be too different from my last grow, in a fridge, which I learnt a lot from. I will not be growing an identified strain, as I have no contacts for clones right now, so I will be trying out a few of the many seeds I've accumulated and picking a nice looker, mostly probably sinsemilla seeds (femi…

Hi guys im working towards getting a stealth cab up and running. dont know anything bout indoor growing at the mo so its all new to me. I jsut want to go for something small and affordable like a 250w and dont know what measurements of a cabinet would get the most out of a 250w. i wanted to use a cool tube and would like to know what fans etc.. to use either side of the tube? would the carbon scubber connect to cooltube and then can be ducted to vent out the cabinet? And in terms of soundproofing which is essential for where i am, it seems people are saying to use music foam or other simialar material to contain and absorb some of it. does that mean i need to in a sen…

ok guys i was gona go a grow tent but being set up in my garage and exposing a lone tent to the street every time my roller door goes up isnt an ideal set up so ive decided to build a small room, 1.6m x 1.6m in my garage. However the only fear i have is the sound of the fan and trickling water. Ive heard of a few busts over they years cos someone complains about the sounds or cops on a completely unrelated matter hear these noises and go in and investigate. So what suggestions do you guys have for soundproofing a room, i was thinking fat bats or carpet underlay over the walls then covering it with mylar? got no idea in this area so i thought i would put it out ther. What…

Hey, I'm a first timer with the growing my own stuff, so I'm looking for all the tips you could give me. I want to grow indoors and I have children that I want to keep away from it. I don't have a lot of cash for the initial outlay, but any suggestions would be sweet anyways. I quite like the idea of a growing cupboard, as I've got access to some old lockers. So maybe the first question is, how the heck to I make one of those? Cheers

Okay, so I'm new on these here forums, but I'm planning on building my first very small grow cupboard, Specifically for Growing lowryder (1 & 2)and I would like to try my hand at breeding it with a few different things... My friends monster sativa for one. Now, the cupboard that I have in mind is approx 1600x600x900. I cant find my tape measure. One frickin time I WANT to use it... Its currently housing my tshirts. The inside is white, it has a small mirror in it as well. What I am curious about is lights, lighting. Do I need the huge lights with reflectors and all that jazz, or can I just buy 3x $9 150W HPS from big W, make my own reflector and would that be enoug…

Hey Everyone Merry Xmas My goal is to setup a small cabinet grow with 2-5 plants that will produce little odor and wont be founded I am hoping that my fish tank setup up when i finish it will be loud enough to block out the sound produced by the cabinet, Never grown before so i have very little knowledge but i have been trying to read as much as I can I have been doing some reading about growing indoors and gathered a few things i cant figure out, was wondering if someone could help me? With ventilation do you need to have a exhaust leading outside? Its not possible to remove the odor produced by plants with just a carbon filter inside a closest and a few fans? …

Hey guys, I want to set up a small R-DWC system for use in a grow cupboard in building, they will be only small plants and will be combined with a scrog net and a 250W HPS. I would like to learn the ins and outs of this system as I think it should produce the highest yield for level of compexity/effort for the grow im planning. I just want to have 2 pots and a res. I've got 2x 5L square buckets with lids from bunnings and a 22L heavy duty storage box to use as a resoviour, to me this ratio seems to make sense. I also got 2x aqua one 5cm air stones which I think should be sufficient? I am going to order a few net pots to fit on ebay. What I don't really understand is…

Hey my brother is making me a grow cupboard over the next 2 months or so... He has experience with hydro, but not making a cupboard.. He wanted me to find out some info... He said there are different types of hydro setups and strategies? Which is best for a cupboard? (It will be about 200cm wide, 100cm depth, 200cm tall roughly)... Also how many plants do people grow in a cupboard? Do they grow lots of little plants or a few big ones? He is going to make it a 3 phase setup with germination area, vegetation area, flowering area etc... I'll probably have roughly a 600w light... Any basic suggestions ideas / references to more information would be very appreciate…

Hey all, I've been a member for a few months now and I've found this site to be a goldmine for useful information. I'm really grateful to the community as a whole here for all the information available. That said, I've decided to grow inside rather than out so that I can have more control over the plants. Also it's a lot more secure. I'm only growing 2 plants at a time due to space and local laws. I was looking at using a cupboard space built in to the house but decided that would have been too much hassle to set up. So a couple of weeks ago I picked up a wardrobe from IKEA. It has it's flaws but those can be fixed. Here's a pic of what it currently looks like clos…

Hey, I am new to this forum. I have had an interest in growing plants for a while. but never had the room and such. I've been introduced to an idea of a stealth PC grow op. Yes, i know that i will yield fuck all plant matter. But that doesn't matter, i'm alot more interested in educating myself by growing plants. I have a PC with the following fan setup = 1 x 140mm fan at top back 1 x 120mm fan at back top 2 x 120mm fan at front bottom http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/5267/computercase1.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us If I had Fan Number 4, which is at the top, as an exhaust, and fan numbers 1, 2 and 3 as intakes, would that be efficient air flow and circulation…
