StealthBox: An MJ enthusiast's foray into cultivation.

m1ku5

Forthcoming:
An introspective into an MJE -- A multifunctional Introductatory meet & greet thread, in the appropriate subforum.

Quicklist:
- Web 2.0 Developer, Web 1.85 Web Designer (i like the drag and drop for images ...could be vbulletin but cheers ;)
- i work in a cubical during the day, and from my couch with the illadeph at night.

Overview:

This will be the log for a Marijuana enthusiast's stealth closet grow. I am open to any and all suggestions. My goal was for cheap, well designed, and very functional.

Two rubbermaid containers, each 50 gallon in capacity, sit atop one another. The lid of the bottom container has carefully cut but the MJE (as he will be referred to from here on). The bottom equivalent portion has been cut from the upper tub, and the two pieces were fitted together by the MJE with bolts. The walls of the tubs were lines with aluminum tape. At the opening of the connecting area, two vanity light fixtures are place. They have been stripped of the housing and screwed at the opening. The fixtures hold 3 26w(100) CFL's each. A 10 inch fan is affixed to the top lid of the upper bucket, blowing out. A plastic pipe is affixed at the lower corner of the bottom tub for airflow in. Cords come in an adjacent hole (later will affix a fitting and rubber grommet). Secondary 5in H/O fan on top of lights.

My total cost was around 100, that includes a Dremel and some poor choices in purchases. This setup will evolve. My suppliers were ome Depot and Wal-Mart. Seeds are premo bagseed, germinated in towels, translated directly into soil at 2 cm. Expected to break soil tonight. Temp in chamber is steady 84'F.

I'm high, prepare for edits. BONUS: Pic's of the MBE's FOAF's setup. illadelph ClosetGro!!!11

Teaser:
This is a preview of my setup. I plan on moving to a hydro setup when I hone the functionality of the box and the environment inside, but for now I'm going with two plants. More details to follow.

Seem to be working fine.

From PhotoBucket, you want to cut/paste the "Direct Link" info (from http://yadayadayada...jpg" into the box.

Give it a try...

here is a new pic of the babies.


Now, after they get a bit bigger, the MJE wants to put the light fixtures on some sort of raisable system. Then the babes will then be trained to grow ScrOG style at the joint of the two tubs:

Any other suggestions for the MJE?


Things needed:
Soil nutes - any ideas?

ANY OTHER IDEAS/SUGGESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!


BONUS!
Any myco ppl here?

m1ku5 thanks for sharing your grow box design....my next project will be a box of some sort and yours is giving me some helpful ideas...cambodian looks good in those jars!

m1ku5

hey all,

my humidity is a bit low...40% ....any tips?

Kieahtoka

Don't worry, 40% is alright. I try to keep mine 50% or below the entire grow, so that mold spores never get a chance at colonization. Seeing as you're a myco dude, you know how fast molds can colonize and destroy just about any living thing if left unchecked.
