Growing under house..

[ThePurpleMan]

Ok well i have never grown herb on my own before but i have helped my friend who has a cannabis card grow his.. I know enough about it how to germinate.. ect. So ive decided to start growing. In my room i made a under the house acces, i am thinking about digging down 6 feet and lining the 6ft deep by 2ft wide hole with plywood. at the bottom of the hole in the ply wood i would run a 3 1/2 inch pvc pipe up to ground level. That would be my air in and i would have another pipe running at ground level into the box and that would be my air out. I would have fans on both and a carbon filter on the end of the out duct. I would use 1 HPS light.. does that sound like an ok little grow box that will be conceled? Please give me suggestions and tell me if you think it would be worth it..

how much wattage and how many plants u plan on growing?
how big is the pvc pipe?

[ThePurpleMan]

i was probably just gonna buy a 75 watt HPS light because i was only gonna grow one plant in it.. the PVC would be 3 1/2 inches Wide.. i think that would be sufficient enough to vent the room

Hello Mr. Purple!

I LOVE IT..

I would make the hole a bit wider... can you make it 4x4x6 ?
and then you can use a 400 or even a 1000watt hps..

You may also want to consider some sort of drainage.. like rocks at the bottom... beneath your pot.. just incase you get some flooding or over watering happens..

How about some ropes around the bottom of the pot so you can easily pull the plant up (this may become necessary)

I look forwared to seeing this project in REAL life..

i could try and make it 4X4X6 the only issue is that the trap door is gonna be in my closet so ide just have the whole wider than the trap door.. Great idea with the ropes. I will take pictures as i go along but it will be a slow process for two reasons. 1 i can only do it when my parents arent home and my mom doesnt work during the summer because shes a teacher, the other issue is money lol cuz all i have right now is 40$ but I will hopefully get the box built in 2 weeks

Thats actually a cool idea keep us updated.

[ThePurpleMan]

I was talking to some people today and they say its a retarted idea to do what im planing.... come on cannabis forum give me some support lol i almost stoped on the construction cuz of the stuff people were saying...

[Kaparski]

bunch of idiots. wouldnt know a good layout if they saw one

Your idea looks solid on paper and as long as everything works the way its supposed to, I dont see a problem. Are you rents aware your growing under? If so, I'd advise against the entire idea unless your 100% confidence theyll never notice.....

[ThePurpleMan]

they would never go under the house for any reason... so i dont think it would matter... they are very picky about that kind of shit.. they wont even let me go under the house to run internet because it gets to dusty i had to go under from outside..

[yabatab]

Those friends suck......put the dream in action.
But make sure to tell them they were right and
you scraped the idea. You don't want anyone
knowing about your grow any who.

hey dude, be careful. I know when you do trenching if the bottom of the trench is 4 feet wide, you gotta make the top 8 feet. I dont know if the plywood would hold. Use the thickest you can find if you do.

ello all this looks good and i will be following this thread to see what happens
hey Purple i think garden knowm meant do this with the ropes
ive attached a pic for you to see what i mean
good idea with the ropes known
cheers all :)

[ThePurpleMan]

^^^ that is a really good idea so i dont have to go down to my plant.. it can come to me.. yea it would be horrible if i get my plant through the vegitative state and its starting to flower and then the hole caves in... that would be horrible.. i honestly think i would cry..
