Hello Everyone!
I'm a new member, and new to growing as a matter o fact.
I've grown outside before, but never inside.. And I Happen to think I have a Nice little setup. Throw some comments, and some ideas at me please.
Now I Dont have pictures, but I will try to Describe it to you the best I can.
I'm growing in my Basement, Under heating vents (On the cealing of the basement) Which I Hope will give me cover from thermal devices.
THE GROWING CONTAINER:
Well, When I Moved into my house, there was an OLD OLD Metal Printer thingy in my basement, It was useless, so I made use of it, The whole thing is about 5 feet tall, 2.5 wide. Now below, where I guess things were stored (Enclosed Metal Box type thingy), It stands about 4 feet tall, and 2.5 feet wide/long. There are 2 holes in the top of the storage container, which are about 1 inch in diameter, round. Which I Found usefull to release some air inside the container. The Door is like any other door, It is a pull door, latched onto the container, which opens out and to the side.
Now, There was enough room in there to Add a Small heater (To keep it warm inside the container, plus the metal radiates the heat inside, No heat is released from the container, except threw the cracks, where the door is at, which I had sealed off with Tape.)
I Mounted the black lights on the sides of the containers, and the Plants in the middle.
The Plants right now are sprouting inside little pudding containers, filled with soil, sitting on top of white paper, to reflect the black lights.
Now, They get water every night, and they are sprouting as we speak.
(We are about a week or two into growing)
The cords which power the black lights and the heater, go inside the container, threw a crack in the door, which is also covered up with tape (Matching the metal, Stealth like)
I Didn't have any outlets near the container where i put it, (I Moved the container, to the back part of the basement, close to the water heater, but seperated by a wall of 2x4's. So I Used an Extention cord, guided to the container, from the cealing, to the ground, set in the corners of the wall. and Covered by equipment in the room. with a 3 outlet plug in attached to it, Supplying power to everything I need.
So the whole thing is pretty much camoflauged into the basement, and the average person, would never suspect anything was going on. (Had few friends over, nobody noticed, Dont really care, But it's nice that they didnt notice anyway)
The Blacklights are turned off at night, The plants watered, and the heater lowered, to simulate the night and day effect.
The Basement never really gets any attention, besides from me, Thats where my room is
But, Throw some ideas at me, Tell me what you think, And I Will try to get some pictures to you by the end of the week.
