OK, this is a big leap for my grow setup
i've had great luck with my 1st setup, a 38 by 15 inch tube of aluminum flashing
used a grand total of 78w of cfl's set in a steel pizza dish, this was pretty ghetto
and low cost, but as we've seen, low cost doesn't have to mean low results
here's what i did with a nl#5, pictured inside and outside of the grow chamber, and the main cola
so it was hard not to keep this grow chamber, it performs very well
but when it comes to stealth, there can be no compromises
the 38 inch height is the killer, just not comfortable with it
it could be put in many places with good stealth, but good is not good enough
so this is my plan, i've bought some of the materials, and getting ready to start
the dimensions are going to be 2 feet high, 16 inches wide, 4 feet long
it's the low height that is going to help me blend this in a very stealthy place
and scrog seems to be the best way to reduce height
it would take a determined search(in my opinion) to find, and that's what i want
the box is going to be built from simple drywall, a cheap, fire resistant material
pots will be 8 inches tall(2 gallons), 2 plants total, 2 foot square for each plant
with the screen 6 inches above the pot, 10 inches will be available for the bud branches
lighting is going to be 4 32w t8's, t5's were pricey and the ballasts weren't easily available locally
so no branch will be further than 2 inches from a t8 bulb, that should work
i want to attach the bulb sockets to adjustable rails on each end, that's going to be a bit tricky
so i'll post pics as i build
be glad of any interest, but it's the motivation of getting it built that's driving this log
