This is my grow box, its some shelfs that were built into my built in wardrobe, so i ripped em out and put some doors on, i have 1 fan at the top sucking air out into the top section, 1 fan on the top right wall sucking out, i will get sum for blwoing in asap, and i have the big massive loud thing in there to with cools the light right down.

I have my 125w enviro although i thinking of getting a 100w mh, and that reminds me i know a 100w mh is 8500 lumens, how many is a 100w hid/hps?

Anyway moving on .... i have ordered 4 8w flouro tubes for the top section for clones and if all goes well i will add some cfls to top section and try the sog method and start clones on 12/12.

I just ordered 2 super silent fans (or atleast they better be) cus that big one is quite loud as you can probaly imagine.

Btw im starting with 3 lowryder 2 seeds, and 3 K.C 36 seeds, im gonna be using ionic grow for vegetive and ionic bloom for flowering and im gonna get some of that ionic boost stuff for flowering aswell .... hmm what else ... im using westland west+ (water holding).

Well i think thats it heres some pics, sorry if there not good qaulity not got a digital camera, jus a phone.

Thanks, any advice or critisism is accepted and taken aboard.

Edit ..... LOL I FORGOT THE PICS!! .... ill upload now :neutral: ok now

looks like you covered all the bases and it looks stealthy. do you have a plan for odor control?

I suggest a carbon filter but they ain't cheap. There is a DIY odor control idea in the FAQ: https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=290

I've never tried this method but maybe others have. You can try an Ona-odor block or some kind of scent-based "mask-the-odor" system. I have also read on this site of people using some kitty litter mixed with pine-sol so try searching around on this site and you may find a relatively inexpensive way to eliminate or reduce odor. Masking, rather than eliminating, the odor may work provided you don't grow more than 2 plants at a time. My last grow was only three plants and they stunk up my whole house (3 floors) before I put the filter on it. Luckily my very cool (and trustworthy) neighbor let me know the odor was reaching his place!

Be warned that sometimes the grower can't tell how strong the smell is cause we get used to it. And it looks like stealth is very important to you and the odor is a dead give away.

I understand the limited budget but odor control (and lighting) are two places I would not scrimp. The consequences of not controlling odor could be dire.

That would be your call since I don't know your situation. If you aren't concerned with stealth, is there any reason you made it small? There doesn't look like a lot of room for growth in there.

Not to shabby i must say. So what type of light do you plan on using for flowering? All i all simplicity is the way to go.

More light the better. Anyways get a couple more of them fans. I assume they are pc fans right? If so what power supply are the connected to and how? Keep it simple keep it real.
