Welcome all tokers,
I recently was pondering the idea of an indoor grow opt design challenge.
You take all the knowledge and creativity of the members here on RIU, and match them with an objective that challenges them to design a grow operation with ABSOLUTE stealth in mind, "The Stealth Grow Design Champion."
The most: creative, original, operational, and professional design will win basically.
We should have an administrator or veteran start something like this and layout all the P's and Q's. If not... Lol whatever im too high to care I thought it was cool.
I already have the most stealth grow check it.............
I picked One big fan over two smaller because i found it easyer to contain the noise using one big fan and a speed controller verse two smaller fans(1 dedicated for light & 1 for exhaust). My Grow is completely stealth in a 2 bedroom apartment..
In my stealth grow I utilize the entire spare bedroom containing everything grow related inside...I cover all walls with sound damping material and put down carpets and moving blankets...I then built a shallow 3" deep wooden box made to fit inside the window frame of the spare bedroom window....The inside of the box(side facing the window) was painted the same color as the room. I then mounted blinds to the inside of the box....I used bambo blinds because it allowed me to mask everything behind it and still let all the air out freely.....I cut a 6" hole in the back of the box near where the window opens so i only had to open the window 6 inches. I then mounted a 6" flange to the hole on the back of the box and ran a 4ft silencer directly from the flange to the 8" fan. The fan is mounted just outside tent but the lip of the fan is INSIDE the tent...I then run Insulted ducking(for added sound dampining)to my 6"aircooled hood with an Insulated Heat shield reflective jacket for added cooling and some sound damping too(not much but some). I Then drapped moving blankets down over the box, cutting the material around the 6" flange as to allow it to lay down flush with the wall..This box is Only 3 inches deep because i used 3" by 1" boards to make one square frame and then cut a very thin piece of partuckle like board for the backing. I used weather tape to seal the gap between the wooden box frame and the inside of the wooden window frame. This keeps exhauted air from creeping back into the room once its been exhausted into the box..it also helps to stop scuffs in the the paint after all this is an apartment and they do have deposts.
From the outside (daytime) all you see is a bedroom window with the lights appearing to be off... In the night time Its just dark and you cant really see anything..This box is light proof no matter how bright inside, it always looks like the lights are off 24/7 from the outside....
I purposesly picked an apartment unit that was on the edge of the property line, I made sure that the spare room was to have a window facing the edge of the lot as not to be in a place where any walking paths or areas or travel would be(no paths no roads no nothing). In my case there is a fence and then a creek. I made sure it was a top floor unit so any hot stinky exhausted air would be let out at its highest point to avoid dedication from other tents and staff..This also helped alot with smell aswell... I could have used the whole room for canopy and put in more lights and fans but i wanted something that was crazy stealthy And i also wanted room to take care of my lady's weather it be watering cleaing trimming all contained in one room.. I wanted to be cheap to run and have good yeilds..When i say cheap i mean effiecent over a long period of time...
This is the most Stealthy cost effective good yielding grow i have every put togeather thus far.... With a 4x4 space and 1 light, 1 fan and zero detection.. Im able to yeild on my last cycle 1.5 lbs in a 3 month cycle... And im track to improve that number... I have had maintaince over many times to fix things unrelated to the spare bedroom and they have never suspected a thing.. Anyting needing to be fixed inside that room is eather fixed by me or not fixed(baring somthing hazardus of course) ive had cable guy here many times too....
