Stealth grow ideas !!

Hey everyone...at the moment, I'm heartbroken. I just had to kill my beautiful baby females :( I had planted 8 seeds, ALL 8 came up female. I tried an experimental grow using CFL's (455 watts) total of reg 6500k daylight/warm-white lights (65w CFL x 7) on a 12/12 from 2 1/2 week. I had them on 18/6 veg prior, and I would have liked to veg longer, but I originally (before LST) wanted tall pole plants, rather than trees. I can fit more like that in a 4'x3x'9' bathroom. I had to cut the plants count down to two, and now I have just had to pull them. I had the perfect space for my medical needs. It was a completely darkened out bathroom, with no light leak whatsoever, and easily covered up. It sets in the laundry/maid's room. Included in pictures, I have shown what I have just had to kill. The brown is heat stress as it's been hitting near 100 with the lights. The thing is, I can move the lights clear up, and it's still the same temp. I live in Asia for reference w/ no ability to have an ac in the room. There is a fan idea, however, it just pulls in room temperature air. I have one blowing on the wall, but doesn't do much. So I started doing LST as a way to thicken the buds with stress, and as a way to keep them down as much as they could while still be able to manipulate all leaves. Started about 3 days ago (these pics are on today, day 29 & unfortunately the end.) These plants just started flowering. Well, my asshole neighbors (live in condo) were remodeling upstairs & happened to pop through. Not a little light leak, but an actual hole to where you could see down. As soon as this happened, I had no choice.

I would really like everyone's input on stealth ideas. Currently, I'm planning to build a subwoofer enclosure with 3 speaker plastic covers for the outside cover. I will make 1 A speaker, and the other two covers for each sub, is actually an intake fan hidden underneath, and an exhahust fan in the other one hooked up to a small DIY carbon filter. The speaker cover will slide in via grooves in the wood.

Please keep in mind that I only use CFL's, and I only use soil.

So, in end, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A WELL DETAILED STEALTH GROW BOXES?

Please do not make them to where I will need to spend over 50-100 American dollars.

**Please take not that the current setup was only pieced within the matter of 30 minutes. Looking for stealth ideas to where I can use an entirely different area.

This is probably very unorganized, but I'm doing my best after a near 50 hour stretch of no sleep.

Thanks in advance for all of your inputs! (There was indoor growing, setup, and CFl..I think I chose the best one, I hope)

First off, I would get some sleep! There are tons of stealth grow plans floating around the net, check here too start https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/1550-stealth-grow-box.html

first off get rid of the tin foil it creates hot spots and burns the plants!go with flat white paint something that won't hold in heat.

Hey, I appreciate the quick responses. Aluminum foil was about the only option I had. I'm serious; When I go to a hardware store in the states, I expect to see a variety. Not 3 aisles of useless shit. I'm pretty decent at making something into nothing, but I had nothing that turned into something worth nothing haha. Materials are very limited which is why I'm not doing some form of DWC. I do prefer soil, but I like the flexibility of hydro once it becomes second nature. The wall has a flat white paint, but from what I've noticed (after a 4 day run of just that) was shit. It didn't help a bit. The aluminum foil always has a big piece (about 3 feet by 2 feet missing/raised-up) with the fan bouncing off of that wall. I just pulled it down & up in the pictures so that everyone could get a general idea of what I did. Is there anything else I can use as reflective gear (question geared more towards a stealth box.

Also, yes, I've found several, but several junk. Some rubbermaid containers are top of my no list. I don't find it very stealthy. Pc grow is in the works, but that's an entirely different project in its own. I just wish I could find something that was an everyday thing, where you didn't open it like you would a cabinet or a fridge, but can set it plain site with plenty of area to work inside.

One more thing ( I really appreciate this guys)...I have a craving to try an LED grow. I'm not too familiar with it, but I'm guessing, it's simply swapping your lights out for different / better ones. Anyone have any results from this? I'm a seasoned grower, not a scientist, so I'd like to keep the budget around $100 for lights. I also don't want to be racking the utility bill to make anything suspicious (not that this country would have the knowledge of doing anyways.) Can I mix LED & CFL's? Can I successfully do 12/12 on LED? I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM EXCEPT HOW THEY WORK ELECTRICALLY!

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE QUICK RESPONSE!!!!!!! THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER FORUM I HAD ONCE SIGNED UP FOR!

I'm sorry..I'm throwing in a lot of questions here, but can anyone toss in their two cents on where to buy seeds? I know, I know, seed banks. I used to pick mine up first hand, but it's no longer that way. I really hate to spend 80 bucks on seeds. I find it a waste, but I also see the value. Just for me, personal medical grows / mixed with a gardening hobby, I don't find it very cost-effective. I wouldn't mind paying 40-50 area. I just hate to throw money should it not be allowed through customs. Any advice, again, WOULD BE TRULY APPRECIATED!!!!
