What's the smallest area you've grown in?

[Dryxi]

I am curious what kind of tiny areas people have successfully finished a crop in. Like did you go from clone to harvest in a 2x1 tote? What size fan/light did you use in your little space?

Or something along those lines, not so much that you grew a crop in a solo cup you kept in your climate controlled room sitting on the shelf (not that that in itself isn't an achievement)

I have no experience to add to this discussion as the smallest I have grown in is a 5'x5'x7', but am extremely interested in the innovation others put into the idea of tiny spaces

I rigged up an incandescent light in a small box in my bedroom back in the late seventies. I grew a Columbian seed and got about three hits.

I grew under a folding table with a sheet over it and panda film under the sheet, lights on 24/7 and moved plants every 12 hours to a dark chamber. No fans, the plants got moved enough fans wernt needed. Around 200 watts of led screw in bulbs. Managed nearly a lb. Frequently had people in the room and nobody knew.

Largest super stealth grow I've heard of.

Was that soil? Jw

Yes. To be clear it was 2 sets of plants, around 20 total, 10 in at a time for 12 hours at a time. Each plant 1-2 oz

Did you feed nutes or just str8 soil the whole way? Was it alot of work to keep them under a 3ft table height wise?

Ya I gave nutes.
Wasnt much work overall, I'm a pretty experienced grower and this was very small scale for me. I had several hundred seeds and just did 12/12 from seed, topped as needed, and split to 2 groups under 24 when I saw preflowers. I think I did that for 6 months or so. Was temporary so it was just something to pass time. And it was fun.

I've seen freaking computer case stealth grows, absolute madness and cool af.

Did a few runs in small computer tower. 17" height I think.

Did you have to go 12/12 from the start to keep them small enough?

The first run I didn't...lol it was hell. The subsequent runs,I did with heavy pruning and defoiliation...they were ran in solo cups under CFL bulbs. Long, long, time ago.

Lol,good shit. I even kept the lcd lights for the front panel connected so it seemed like a real unit.

2.5 x 6 foot closet. only used half the closet, 1.2 grams per watt

 

[It's not oregano]

Converted set of drawers. Base is 28" x 12" but I can get 15" deep at canopy level. Only 32" high in total.
Been growing in here in a garage for the last 4 years. Both adult kids still have no idea.
Used to use household leds but swapped to samsung strips to give more height, better spread and less power usage.
Mainly grow 2 autos per run and LST the hell out of them. Average between 4 - 7.5 oz dry in total. Current grow is 12 days from breaking surface.

Current grow is a 2’x2’x4’ box. Seems to work great for my single plant!
Im running an HLG 100v2 3000k and it’s perfect

My outdoor plant started as a clone in a foam ice chest that I cut the part of the top off of, lined with foil, covered with a cut-in-half ziplock bag and a 9w led on it. Stayed in there until it was stable but I would love to try a full grow in a small space like that. It was easy to control the temps/rn in the ice chest.

 

[Weouthere]

Definitely not the best but here’s a pic of that ice chest clone thing

 

[Smiffy2k9]

Currently growing in 16"x20"x40"h, 9 plants perpetual sog, 6 bridgelux strips ran at 50w total, average 15g a plant
