Welcome friends :friends:
I would like to share some experiences I had with designing and building my stealth cab as well attempting to document my first grow attempt. Before I begin I would like a change to talk about why I have chosen to grow and to thank everyone who has helped me accomplish it!
Cannabis is my self-prescribed medicine and it has allowed me to enjoy my life. I have a personal and family history of anxiety/depression and I have tried other medications in the past that did not work as effectively, with fewer side effects, or more natural products than cannabis. I also suffer from what is now being called restless leg syndrome and migraine head aches. I have had mixed experiences with medical benefits depending on the type of product I had consumed.
I chose to grow so that I can experiment with different strains, become supply independent, and because I enjoy it immensely!
I have got my feet wet with other forums, but I found a wealth of information here that I was not finding anywhere else. Particularly in respect to the Micro growing style... When I had almost given on growing my own medicine...I stumbled upon ICMAG!
I almost hate to do this because I know I will accidentally leave some people out, but I have some people I have to thank by name. These folks really out due themselves with helping others and have pioneered micro growing.
In no particular order, a special thanks to the following..
Bulénath, Pipedream, Sugabear, Quazi, hoosierdaddy, Dr Greengenes, Freezerboy,Thunderkel, Lifeless
ON WITH THE SHOW!
Nothing to see here. My PC sits 3 feet from the closet and is louder than my cab. Nothing can be heard when the doors on the closet are shut and temperatures aren't changed.
Here it is. Yes, those are bowls underneith for the time being.
Notice the lock? It's functional :]
Exterion dimensions: 31Wx20Dx30H
Lights on inside the cab, off outside... ~99% light proof. I used rubber silicone and vaseline to create the custom molded door "weather strips" as seen in the following images.
I used ~1.5 tubes to do the whole thing.
It remains fairly elastic once cured and has enough cusion so that I was able to 100% seal the hingers without losing function!
Doesn't look pretty, but it works.
It exausts to the right.
I wanted to create a cab with zero ducting to keep noise at a minium.
6 2'' PVC 90-to-90 for intake.
Panasonic whipser 80CFM DC variable 0.3 sone fan with DIY carbon scrubber tray. 120mm PC fan @ 6V for about ~30-50CFM - silent
42w 2700k on the left, 23w 6500K on the right..
I have a 23 5000k and 26 6500k that aren't being used.
These 90 elbows where a god send for my cab.
150w HPS for flower. I have 22 inches from bottom of the bulb to floor.
120mm PC fan @ ~50-60 CFM. Believe it or not, but if I adjust this fan any faster (max 110CFM).. it is louder than the whisper fan @ 80 CFM.
Supplies
Could someone please let me know what these are called? I used them to start my seedlings.
These NL are 6 days from breaking soil.
These BG are 4 days from breaking soil.
I water them from the bottom with distilled water with 1/4 strength of super thrive.
Please feel free to ask any questions, offer any concerns, or provide constructive criticism. I am here to learn and help others.
Thanks for viewing my threads, I hope you enjoyed it
