5J's SCROG Stealth Filing cabinet / Mini Cab / PC Perpetual Setup

Yo guys,
Im new to ICmag and this will be my 3rd Indoor harvest.
My 1st i grew 7 x Blue Cheese in a 4x4 closet yielded 13.5oz
My 2nd harvest was 1 x Super lemon haze + 1 x Big Bang DWC Scrog, landed 10.5oz from the BB and 19.5oz from the SLH same space.

Since then ive had to scale down to Stealth growing so the idea is to keep this shit on the down low.

Note:
everything has locks, even the PC case

----------------------------------------------
Setup

I have a PC case thats been stripped clean and added a 125w envirolite - For Autoflower, fast harvests + experimentation

A inconspicuous cabinet that i found real cheap, added PC fans + 3 x 45w 6500k bulbs (only 1 being used) - For Cuttings + Mothers.

Filing cabinet that i recently stripped and added a E40 for a 125 - 200w CFL that will go in there + some 30w i will chuck in depending on temps also.

----------------------------------------------
Plants

I have 2 x Strawberry Haze + 1 x Pineapple Express about 5wk old, 1 of each are going to be mothers and 1 Strawberry will be used as for the filing cabinet SCROG.

In the mini cab i have 7 cuttings (4 x strawb 3 x Pineapple) that are going to a friend,
Also in there are 1 x AutoNortherlights + 1 x RoyalDwarf Auto that are going in the PC.

----------------------------------------------


Will be transfering the Strawberry into the filing cabinet to veg the SCROG up in the next few days, Ive been spiral training it for the past 2 weeks so it will only need a week or 2 of veg before the flip.

Looks good. I did one grow in my filling cabinet but decided it was to much work tending to the plants in it. The sliding door was not an effective way to get access to the cab. Next cab I build will have a door that swings open. Good luck, i hope you don't run into the same issues I did.

Yea, ive been realising its a little annoying with watering and moving the branches. I have came up with ways around that which i am going to implement over the next Week though.

My plan is to build some sort of Frame that the pots sit on and the screen is attatched to so i can lift the full thing out with the pots and do the maintenance then.
I would have considered using a differnt type of cabinet but these are really one of the only inconspicuous cabinets that dont raise questions and are lockable.

Mind me asking what you yielded and stuff, I have literally not found ONE filing cabinet journal, atleast with buds :p

My filing cabinet was 3 drawers high with a 150w hps with 2 45w cfl's for supplemental lighting. I yielded 7g -10g per plant. The soil mix was random garden store soil mixed 50/50 with perilite and the pot size were 1 liter milk jugs with the top 1/3rd cut off. They work great because the are square shaped. The filing cabinet worked good except for the door design. Although the fans needed to keep thing cool made to much noise to be used in a stealth application.

Good luck.

sounds good man, i wanna get a 150w in mine, probably will be installing it after this crop.
ive only really hesitated buying one for this crop because of heat issues, not sure if my cab will handle it.

I wanted to get it aircooled with a carbon filter but then theres the issue of having strong enough ventillation to be able to pull through the filter.
Then i thought maybe il buy an 4"acoustic extractor fan which are about 20db at full power. But it could be way to much stuff to fit in there..

Today i ordered some Expensive top quality Fractural Design PC fans.
They are 9db, and pull 39 cfm which should quiet down my setup a little more and i could aim one at the bulbs to help with temps.

How hot are the 150w HPS?, like how would you compare it to CFL?.
I was gonna put a 125w enviro + 4 x 30W CFL.
 
Another micro/cabinet grow thread, never would have thought of it before seeing it here.
Its just amazing how adaptable these girls can be!
Keep em growing...
