Hello everyone,
About 10 years ago I was living in Vancouver and growing for the reason of making a living. School ended and it was time to move on and start making a legitimate living. Although I'm not able to smoke while at my current job I've always wanted to master the art of small space growing, not that I've never tried. I've done very well with it but this is my ultimate small grow and I wish to share this with you all. I'm not finished with it yet but it is up and running.

I wanted to make a very small room in which I could have friends and family over and they would never know what was going on, so far I'm succeeding. I started with a plastic cabnit bought form home depot for about 100 bucks, it's made by husky. If you've ever walked the isles and wondered then you know the one. I took some black/white ploy and covered the in side and used refexive ducting tape to tape it up. Inside is a 4 plug outlet in which I plug the light, (a small fan, and bubbler into), "Not yet installed". In the corner which I know takes up alot of room is a carbon scrubber, it's one of the smallest ones they make and has a small in line fan attached to the output of the scrubber, but works wonderfully. Keeps the heat down too. Now then as for a light I decided against a high powered HPS or MH light as they produce way to much heat in a small area with a quite fan. So I went for a 120watt Compact Florescent lamp. It's large and the last time I used one of these I had very good results all roung through veg to flower. I was able to grow more the what I needed for personal use off two plants.

Here's some pic's let me know your thoughts and any questions you have I'll be obliged to answer.

I'm using a blend made by Grotek and sheep manure.

squamish-is the carbon scrubber before or after the fan?
