Smell: I haven't used ionizers, ozone generators, etc... so I can't comment reliably. But carbon filters will work perfectly... no smell.

As for stealth, understand that you will have various cables (probably) running into your box. I don't know your garage, but maybe you can carefully place the cables throught the floor/wall edge, and nobody notices.

Question: Is the stealth part, more like:
-You don't want it to look blatantly like a grow setup. So people can walk into the garage with you, grab whatever, then leave without noticing...

Or is it stealth like:
-absolutely 100% stealth...

????

Both of them are doable... just that the "100% stealth" thing is very difficult (fan noises (there are mufflers), the cables, a big box in the garage, etc.)
....

Nothing, just two or three things to shoot for.

I converted your measurements, for the other half of us ( )
80 centimeter = 2.624 ft
56 centimeter = 1.837 ft
100 centimeter = 3.280 ft

Will you be using HIDs? (High Intensity Discharge bulbs... ie, HPS, MH (high peressure sodium, metal halide)? They'll give the best results.
Hi turtle420 & Garden Knowm ,
Thanks for the reply

5-10 CFLS
1-3 plants
soil medium
-Not really sure what this all means 5-10CFLS ??
I get the 1-3 plants LOL
medium soil?
sorry but I am total basic to growing things.

markjohns Reviewed by markjohns on . Any advice on starting.... Hi All, Basically I am looking to setup my own system, My two biggest problems are size & smell- to be in my Garage (+ the fact I have never grown before) I have seen some very good enclosed systems (blackbox/quick grow) which would be ideal, but they are a bit on the big side for what I need. Are there any smaller totally enclosed systems which are as easy to to use similiar to the two mentioned? (have you made one and willing to share how to?) Please, if you had a chance to start again Rating: 5
