New stealth grow - first timer

Hey,

Been reading up a while and decided to do my own stealth grow in my cupboard.

Here is my planned setup i would very much appretiate any tips or corrections towards it.

Chest of draws measuring
H 66cm D 35cm W 65 cm

I am going to strip the draws out and glue the draw doors to the front for stealth. Also will seal up all the edges etc with sealent. Reflective lining.

400W HPS.

3x computer fans. 2 Extracting air at the top and 1 at the bottom blowing in air in addition to some inlet holes.

Will add a diy carbon filter later when they start growing.

Now i have lowryder #2 and ak47 x lowryder #2 seeds.

My main concern is that my space isnt large enough and the light is overkill and will cause exsessive heat in such a small area. But i have it now so id rather just use it than have to buy a 250w as budget is limited.

Ideally i think 2 lowryder #2 plants will be perfect for the space.. But i know its goin to be a small yield.

Therefore i realy want to try and get at least 1 ak47 x lowryder as i know they yield considerably more (but inevitably grow larger) . Would very much like to know the best combination i could get in this space if anyone could advise? I know im most likely being too greedy for such a small space but 2 months is a long time to wait! If i could fit 2 ak47 x lowryder in id be happy but i could end up in a position were they grow too high cos there 60-80cm. So may be abit risky?


Stealth, smell free and budget is ultimatly the main issue, but of course i want to make the yield worth the wait.

well.. stealth just went out the window i think mate. Your right in what your thinking.. heat could be quite an issue for you given a headroom of 66cm ... are you using a cooltube hood? .. you may need the centrifugal fan going pretty fast to keep the temps right..

best of luck with your project anyway ;)

there silent computer fans. they provide alot of airflow and are pretty silent so that should not be an issue.

I have taken advice off a friend to bed the bottom in a container instead of using pots. then i will extend the top by 20cm with a few peices of wood which should be relatively simple. Hows that sound for 3 ak47 x lowryders ?
