I would like some advice on setting up a stealth grow cabinet. I was thinking of building a MDF cabinet that was 4'w x 3'd x 58" h as where I would like to grow is only about 63" high. Damn low basements. I would like to try an Organic soil grow and was wondering how I should set up the box for that I was possibly thinking of setting up some mother and cloning room, do you think that there's enough room in this cabinet or should I try to build another one for that? Also what kind of lighting would work the best? I was thinking maybe 2-3 2' T-5 tech2's 2 bulbs. The 10,000 lumen ones. would I have to worry about heat with this set-up? And what would work best for ventilation and scent control. We have HE furnace and power vent hot water heater so I would like to vent my cabinet out into the presently unused furnace after going through a carbon scrubber of course. How big of a deal is CO2 and what is the most cost effective way to do my cabinet? Thanks

You should be in good shape w/ that size grow box.

Check out my first grow, in my sig, so you can see my grow box and what all I went through to get it where it is now. Its kinda what you're thinking, just taller and not as deep.

DIY carbon scrubbers and PC fans are great for ventilation and circulation but I'm sure inline fans and 6-8" ducting will move a whole helluva lot more air.

IMO 3' deep is a waste, I recommend making it roughly 2' deep. Mine is 16" and its kinda tight but 36" might be kinda far to reach in and move stuff around, maybe too much space, IDK.

You might wanna consider scrog'ing too.

Good luck bro :thumbsup:
