Ok here is the idea. First off im using CFL all haters can click the back buttion now, save it.

Moving on, im planning on growing in a single dresser. Single meaning the drawers are vertically stacked, so thin and medium height. Ive removed the insides of the drawers and glued the drawer front on, so its hollow inside. Im spray painting the inside a high shine white to reflect well.

The CFLs will be in an edison/medium socket adapter, make sense? Its a lamp socket that plugs directly into a power socket. Im planning attaching the power strips to two sides and on the ceiling.

I think moving the lights up and down the strip, and using velcro for easy removal.

Will this work? If i superglue the velcro to the strips and the walls will it hold, no worries of heat etc? Im not worried about weight obviously.

Oh and the plants, i think two will fit, will be in DWC/Bubbler setups to make up for light deficiencies.

Sorry for the rant and questions this will be my first grow and plan to do it right.

very stealthy.. i thought of that idea myself.. Ya it sounds like a good plan. as long as u have good soil, adaquate light, proper ph water,nutes and good air curculation you will do alright..

Im not sure what light to change to if that even matters for flowering. As for the strain i saw a NL/BB cross that seemed promising but i think nirvana stopped carrying it. But iin general an indica would be ideal since its short.

Ive been looking at the size of the dresser and i may opt for one larger plant.

Does anyone have any ideas on CO2? I need something small and very cheap.

What about dry ice? It sublimes into gaseous CO2, i could put in in a small container thats air tight and drape a tube with small holes in it around the plant.
