Hi all just thought I would include some plans for a cheap underground growroom, there is many ways to build one but this is by far the cheapest. To keep the lowest cost possible this is only a 4 foot design. Remember always only build above the water table or be rdy for some big moisture problems. These are best built in the lawn with grass growing over the top, you can hide the trapdoor however you want: in the edge of the garden under a large Styrofoam rock, under a flap of turf… the possibilities are endless. Feel free to pm me with any questions or problems regarding the matter. Now on to the plans

Here are my plans for my very first grow. This is the first draft, plus I wont be moving out for a few months yet so I have a lot more time to adjust these plans and to learn. So suggestions and feedback is more than welcome of course. Stealth is a major consideration so I have decided that the idea of getting a big set of draws or a cabinet and alterring the draws so that they dont take up space any more but have the front glued on to appear normal. Inside I would have a shallow water culture system connected to a resevior and an air pump with an air stone. I would have a pvc pipe frame attached to the shallow water culture system and have wire mesh from the local har…

Ok have done a couple of outdoor grows with mixed success. but have decided to move it indoors for various reasons. ok. ive researched quite alot and just hopeing you could help me finalise a few things: im gonna make a box roughly 3 feet high by 1.5^2 feet wide. i say roughly as im not sure whats the best size for a 125w Envirolite inc. the fact i may use 2 when flowering occurs. any ideas? i was going to use steel for the reflector and either the triangle shape or the M shaped one. should i use stainless or galvanised and why do the FAQs say paint it white. does the shiny metal create hotspots? should i use a one fan creating a vaccum. or is one for intake one …

Hi guys,after browsing this site for a while I`ve decided to have a go at growing myself. Me and a mate are going to try and get 20 plants between us going. I`ve found a good link showing a stealth cabinet which looks like a wardrobe but homemade,we`re going to build the grow rooms like that.Can anybody tell me what the smallest dimensions i would need to flower 10 high yeilding plants?.I`m hopefully going to pass it off as a workshop cabinet for tools etc in my shed. I`m hoping I`ll be able to run 2 veg cabinets to have 20 to put into flower as soon as the others are harvested because from the difficulty I`ve seen other people having we`re bound to fuck up royally for …

Thanks for all the useful replys to my earlier post the other day,your help is much appriciated ( as well as needed ). It would appear that my plan to hide 20 plants in soil was ill thought out ( well I didn`t know any better ) and unlikely to happen. A few people sugested SCROG but would it not be more space efficient to go SOG-NFT in lots of small cabinets?? Lets say that my cabinet is 3ft x 2ft, how high would it need to be if I had the maximum wattage lamp that was needed for such dimensions?, I`ve read a thread saying that 16 plants per sq ft is possible if no veg period is allowed to take place, giving me 96 little beauties in my cabinet,or the more normal 4 plan…

ok i got a dresser i want to turn into a grow box. Theirs 2 compartmants on top. and one big close hamper shape with open lid on the bottom. first (compartment 1) compartment is gonna be the flowering chamber. the size is 18 in wide 33 in high and a depth of 15 inches. The second compartment is 13 in wide 33 in high and a depth of 15 in. this chamber will be for vegative stage. Ok in the flowering chamber i would have 2 fans in the top 2 back corners. They will be blowing air into an L shape aluminum tube.(you know the ones that hook hoses together for dryers.) Well this tube would be on the bottom of the flowering chamber like a backwards L which will be going through an…

For those thinking about building thier own stealth 400watt growroom, I thought you might like this a look at this link I found. I figure the measurements could be adjusted slightly to get the maxium size scrog cabinet. The top half for a flower/mother room and the bottom room for cloning. The great thing here is, you can make a bigger room than a standard wardrobe (for max. yeild), whislt still looking like a wardrobe and it still fits through a doorway when you move house. I will however have to read a bit more about woodworking as I don't understand some of the terms used. Oh you will need some decent tools too. http://popularmechanics.com/home_improveme...ire/p…

I have a small indoor setup, 3ft x 2ft x 5ft with 400w HPS. I grow in soil & 20cm pots because I keep my plants pretty small. Exhaust is ducted into the ceiling and fresh air is drawn in from under the door to the cupboard. I will be lightproofing it shortly by using some ducting and sealing up the bottom section of the door. A fan sits in front of the inlet for circulation (you can see it in the pic). I dont have good seeds so I make do with what I get.. I clone my best plants and work off that, might try breeding at some point if I work up to it but I need some decent seeds first. Yield is a few OZ every couple of weeks. The picture shows a couple of different sta…
