Hey guys and gals, I took Bozo's stealth grow cabinet and added a few more features in order to up the stealth mode so I could use it in my apartment with nobody being any the wiser. Heres a plans I drew up in Paint real quick

Untitled233.jpg

Just looking for opinions, heres a list of whats it gonna have

Real drawers, shortened to give the ilusion of a working dresser complete with cloths

False back between grow chamber and draws to fool regular inspection

A liftable lid with intgrated electric timer, CFL system, and push button latches hidded inside top drawer for added security

30 CFM bathfan-light combo for fresh air and exhaust

4'' round hole covers with de-oder filters

Rubbermaid tote, 8-12 inches deep with soil

Timed water/fetilizer delivery useing aquirium pump, 1/4in hose, and 2liter resivior.

Capcity 1-12 plants depending on dresser size and shape.


What do you guys think? none of this is set in stone, I will need to use shorter bushier plants but I would think it would be undetectable.

I was even thinking make the top liftable onto what looked like a cigar humidor to explain the fan and electric, use the small of the cigars to cover up the gorw box smell, then make it so with a couple of push latches you chould pull the humidor out and below that would be a piece of ply wood with the lights and fan mounted on it. Put that on another set of hindges to open and shut it. That would fool pretty much anybody.

Smoke them in good health

lookin good,
welcome to GP

Hey Joe.Your intake will function better down at the bottom of the cabinet.It gets hot at the top due to heat rising and stuff.I'd rethink the functioning drawer too.Unless you make a big dresser.Removable top is a good idea.
Good luck with it

i like it man, and i appreciate the props, my main concern is that you are
over complicating things.

the fact is, if the man makes it into your room, all that work won't stop them
from finding the truth.

plus, converting a dresser to those plans will be an amazing amount of labor.
even modding the drawers will be tough as hell.

most importantly, you'll be losing half your growing space.

and, while you can't open the drawers on mine, it's cloak of invisibility is pretty
good!

So I work all day on this after going to the hardware store and picking up the cabinet.

I modifyed the orginal design.

No drawers on cabinet, so didnt have to shorten them, just insert false back and put in shelves. The cabinet had two false drawers on it. Took the faces off and put in false top adding a scrate storage compartment, for grow tools and harvested produce. Added 6 way power spliter with GFI to prevent fire. Built in applicance timers to sechdual light intervals and fan runnings. Wireless temp and humidity sensore in the grow box, hung the actual display in the living room so I always know what the tempature and humity levels are. Tiled the top of the cabinet, very heavy, discourages people trying to lift the top of the cabinet, also makes it so it doesn't move much when the hindges are locked. Stuck gell odor eaters inth exhaust duct and inside bathfan.

Looks like an entertainemtn center now. My room mates LCD tv is mounted on the wall above it and he put his DVD player on top of it and pulged in all the calbes and stuff, also put a little ocilating fan on the top as well. DVD collection went on the shelfs inside. DVD player secured to top so life can be lifted with out needing to move.

Things I left out, no humidor disguise to justify intakes, no false top over grow box, and its not a dresser so no shortening the draws and modifying that.

I will finish tommrrow and take some pics, I am very proud of myself. You really can't tell, I didn't even tell my roommate there was a grow box in his new entertainment center. He loaded the DVD's on the shelfs, and moved the LCD screen, and set every thing up thinking I was being so nice to him. He even helped me move the damn heavy thing into his room with out knowing. I even added a second power strip mounted to the top to plug all the electronics into to justify the power cord. He was all happy and gonna watch a movie on his new rig, he even offered to buy me a sixer of beer for building the entertainment center for him. It looks real nice. He was shocked when I walked in the middle of the movie and pull off one of the draw faces, flicked the locks, and opened the lid... I turned around and leaned aginst the wall and just laughed as he stared at me. Then I showed him all the features and told him to find some seeds. Not to my surpirse he pulled out a bag of about 200 seeds he had been saving for awhile and asked if that was enough. I dont think it will hold more then 4 plants at a time, and they wont get real tall, but it definatly wont be easy to see the cabinet.

Smoke them in good health

Joe

Sounds Sweet, Can't Wait To See The Pictures, & See If Full Of Plants, Best Of Luck, Wishes & Karma Of Growing In Your New Cabinet..

Quite like that, Although its one cabinet, I was thinking I could,when get my own place. Do the same to one wall of cabinets in my own kitchen or work room.

I was gonna get started, but i have some stuff to do and things to get.

So far teh chitty for this whole project is about 40$, but I had alot of stuff on hand.

Well I have to move a freezer

Smoke them in good health

Joe

You ever gonna post pics? I'd like to see what you got growing.

Hey man, looks cool. just so you know those cfl's won't be pushing out 100 watts each. they emit an equal amount of light as an incandescent 100 watt bulb. there pushing 23 watts each max. 2 bulbs = 1 plant.
