If it's just kids, do your grow in a room that has a sink and that can be off limits or even locked. Like a master bathroom. That would solve everthing. I get around my office grow by telling my 4 year old that I'm cleaning stuff. I make sure he is first doing something that is much more interesting to him than wondering what I'm doing, like playing video games, which he lives to do (don't worry we limit it). My whole office is off limits to him, and he respects that. The grow is in the walk in closet which is in the office. I know I won't be able to get away with this for much longer, then I have made up my mind to do all mixing and dumping after he is in bed. You ought to be able to do that with your kids, or are they not yours? The fan noise off and on? Well, that's just part of the whole-house fan system of course.

You still haven't told me how you plan to address the problems of carring full trash bags into your room, and semiconstantly mixing stuff up at the sink. You said, its of utmost importance that they dont know exactly what is going on. If this were true for me I would not even grow. OK, I might consider it in dirt, but probably not. It is very difficult to be stealthy, especially if you choose HID lights and hydro. Good luck in whatever you decide.
Opie Yutts Reviewed by Opie Yutts on . Question about DWC In using the 5 gallon bucket setup, airstone, etc. in a cabinet setup, it seems it would be a hell of a lot easier to insert a black hefty bag into the bucket and then fill it, then when time for water change just fill another bag up, remove the old one, drop in the new one, throw your old stuff out. Would this be possible or has anyone tried it?Anybody see anything wrong with it? Would this work? Also would allow for a darker bucket to reduce root rot, am i correct here? I am just learning DWC Rating: 5
