Help a Patient choose a "STEALTH GROW CABINET"

[MasonicChronic]

:weedpoke::weedpoke:Hello! I am long time patient, getting ready to invest in my first grow system. As a qualified patient, I would like to take advantage of my legal right to produce for self-medicating purposes. Unlike the operations of co-ops or caregivers, I just want something simple to satisfy my own medical needs.

I currently live in an apartment. I have no legal issues, because I have my legal right as a medical patient. However, I would like to respect the privacy of my neighbors by keeping my system discrete. The landlord is perfectly ok with it, as long as it stays discrete. I have concluded that a â??stealthâ?� growing closet is the best way to go. I want to keep the sight and smell away from any neighbors. I have narrowed it down to a few different choices, but I have several concerns that I was hoping some of you could help me with. I do not want to build my own. Iâ??d like to keep my price as affordable as possibleâ?¦but I donâ??t want to ruin my crops with poor equipment. I only need enough to satisfy my own needs. I prefer to get a self maintaining cabinetâ?¦and I want to avoid a build it yourself closet operation.

I am a first timer with this, so I would really appreciated your help. I just bought the book by Jorge Cervantes, and plan to follow every step to ensure the best growth.

I have a few questions for you individuals who are filled with hydro/cannabis wisdom.

1. Is there a certain Grow Cabinet you suggest?
2. How much space (height-width-diameter) does a plant need in order to mature properly?
3. How much medicine can one plant produce in dried buds?
4. Do you feel that any of the choices below are good for me?

don't get the v3. no room, no cooling, just cooks plants. of your choices, i'd go with the DELUXE. cloning, vegging, flowering chambers are all there.be sure light cannot leak from veg chamber to flower chamber! honestly, i've DIY'd stealth cabs much better than those for around 1/2 the cost. with DWC, 400w digital, cfl's( for clone/veg chamber), and great ventilation. inside temps never get more than 3*F over ambient temp. I even DIY'd carbon filters to remove exhaust odors for under $35. i'm not trying to show off my skills, just letting you know that it is pretty easy and much more cost effective. with the money you save, you could get enough killer genetics to keep you with a nice variety for years to come.:thumbsup: however you do it, just follow the advice here and you'll be on your way to medical independence. Stinkyattic is the bomb-diggity, listen to her and you'll be growin da dankness in no time.

Thank you, Happy! I definitely appreciate your input! I will look into a DIY option due to the cost effectiveness. Are there any resources on how to build one from scratch? I don't mind the work as long as I have detailed directions. I'd hate to spend 2,500 bucks on something I could make myself for half the cost. Any help is much appreciated!

:thumbsup:Thanks, again!:thumbsup:

I think that a DIY version of the SuperCloset would be a nice choice. You can get standing tool closets at any department store, either plastic or particleboard. Some weatherstripping and a 4" hole saw will get you well on your way.

A 2-chambered system is ideal for keeping a mother and clones alive while you flower in the large section. Keep the mother section on the bottom, because of the heat generated by your lamp, and expect to run an air-cooled hood or 'cooltube' in the flower chamber.

Those pre-fab systems are expensive but make great models to copy from. Don't skimp on the blower for your flower chamber exhaust! This, more than anything else, will make or break yoru grow.

thank you, stinky! I am definitely considering a DYI cabinet. Are there any resources online on how to build one step by step? I don't mind the work as long as I know what I'm doing.

Thanks again!

Um I can't figure out how to use my photo editor really; I miss Mac Paint...

here's a couple of pics of cab's i've built; first is a wardrobe from ikea ($200, i needed something that looked like nice furniture) the others are a stanley tool cabinet from home depot. hope these give you some ideas. i would go with dwc(deep water culture). i think its easiest in small cab's. just get a rubbermaid storage tub, able to hold 5 gallons at least. paint the outside black so light can't penetrate and grow algae in the nutrient reservoir. use ahole saw to make holes in th lid for your net pots. inside put airstones enough to oxygenate the nutrient solution. you almost can't have too much oxygen.(more bubbles = less root problems). make your light hanging system adjustable, so you can maintain the correct distance from plant tops. the most expensive things you'll be buying are your tds meter,lights, and vent fans. don't skimp on any of these. when planning your set-up, think about safety( electrical things off the floor away from possible spills), ease of maintenance, functionality. keep reading posts here, every thing you want to know is available. good luck, let us know how its going.:thumbsup:

^^^EXACTLY!!!^^^
Plus the added benefit of an excuse to get blazed and wander around IKEA looking for the Swedish meatballs that smell so good. The colors! The textures! The screeching unattended children! The crazy Scandinavian design concepts! Oh hells yeah. I wish we had one near here.

You are too funny stinky!!! too bad ur not in so.cal., i'd treatyou to some swedish meatballs and some og x bubba kush bowls!!!
