Fridge grow log, first timer

[twitch]

i have loved that idea ever since i saw it on here like 3 months ago it really is the best way (for a hiding standpoint) just through a lock on it and people will think its just alot or beer

twitch Reviewed by twitch on 10-05-2007. Fridge grow log, first timer Ok, yes, I am a first time grower. Because my Sheriff is a butthead, I have decided to try to grow indoors. I have gutted an old fridge and am building literally from the ground up. I have some bag seed that I am germinating right now. I have some pics of the fridge as it is right now. I need help though. I will be growing in soil so any soil suggestions are great. I will probably be growing with LED. This is where I have the greatest questions. I was thinking 4 bulbs would suffice, two Rating: 5

Oh I know. Very stealthy, just don't set the ballast right on top of the fridge. People will ask about it.

[trynagethigh]

you can mount the ballast on the back of the fridge so its also out of view :thumbsup:

[Opie Yutts]

good idea.

HPS or MH?
I think I want to go HPS.
I have germinated the seeds, and have thme planted in my pots, we'll see if they want to come forth and greet the world. I will post pics later today I hope.
Also, having trouble finding a little personal size fan for the venting. I want to get a little fan, one I can mount tat the top. I do not think I will be putting in two vents. I will put one in at the top of the fridge, and an intake at the very bottom. Being that this fridge is in the garage and temps will get low, I will need only one fan, right atop the light to vent. What do you guys think? Again, my concern is the more holes I put in this fridge, the more cold air can seep in when the light and fan are off during 12/12. 12/12 will be occurring in the dea dof winter and it gets cold here.
Thanks

Any help on where to get small fans, and hps lighting system? I found good one on ebay, but would rather go on foot to get that.

Search the web for hydroponic supplies. There's lots of them. Where to go on foot in Canada isn't for me to say. If you are only choosing one light then get HPS. It will work for both veg and bloom, but during veg, throw some blue spectrum fluoros in with it for better growth.

I'm in Ohio, I just didn't want to admit that I live in a country so backwards and hypocritical thatr they keep alcohol legal, tax it, profit from addiction, and then say THC is dangerous. Ohio is an eastern bloc state that just doesn't get it. I hate it here!!!!!! Bunch of backward ass conservatives thinking they know what is best for me and falling for stigmas and false propaganda about THC. I know, I am ranting but I am so angry that my sheriff goes and buys a brand new helicopter, FLIR, the works for what? TO catch innocent, law abiding flks who want to have a handful of plants for persoanl consumption in their own homes. He tries to take their houses under asset forfeiture for as little as three or four plants. The guy is a dickweed and I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't crooked. Nobody has that big of hard-on for Pot unless it is personal. I used to be a deputy in a western state until we had to move home and boy was I shocked going from the free west, to the eastern bloc. Most cops I know could care less about weed, unless you have a huge grow operation and you are selling. That is how it should be, punish pushers, leave personal stashes alone. Makes me sick. Sorry for the rant but got started and couldn't stop.

I think the sheriff here actually has his hand in Pot sales, and his hard-on for the local grower is to eliminate competition. This is a hunch but it just seems logical as the guy never seems to nail meth labs, of which we have a ton out here, or any other criminal enterprises. He just seems to make huge pot bust after huge pot bust. I am thinking of writing a local reporter and seeing what they think, but really do not want to attract attention to myself right now.

ok i seriously doubt you will have any cold issues bare in mind your fridge is very well insulated, IT WILL KEEP THE HEAT IN the prob you will have is getting the heat out remember the bulbs stay hot for a fair while after their off. i prefer my favorite soil is canna cocoa i use this for indoor with Canna A and canna B feed (you have you use both). this soil has achieved best results for me. i think your best bet would be to perminantly fix your light to the fridge top and use the shelves that where in there before to change height.
