thats the progress so far basically a dresser with all the droors made into one on one side pic 1 shows the space im working w/. the light i have atm is a 2 24'' flo bulbs i picked up at my local hydroponic store so i know there pretty legit. there full spectrum by Aggrosun. im using a basic dwc system with the 5 gallon paintedblack. i got a hole in the center fitting the netcup and i picked up a few airpumps and airstones etc.. im using emergency blankets as a reflector due to my funds being limited. atm i am making a cheap carbon scrubber.As for what i am planning to grow i have some opitions such as super silver haze,Og kush,and an afghani chronic strain i have from seed[the haze and OG are clones] so i will give them a try 1st and then in june i am going to Amsterdam on vacation and hopefully grab me some more amazing strands. well tell me what ya think and please tell me what i am doing right,wrong, how i can improve this stealth cab. suggestions etc.

nope im actually thinking since its so small i can get my hands on a 200 hps for pretty cheap. a 150 possibly

MicroManincali · 11-22-2006, 11:11 PM

that bucket is a 5 gal dwc.. bucket painted black the pvc is more for ventelation and it keeps light out of the dwc very well

MicroManincali · 11-22-2006, 11:22 PM

ok here is a basic design

now on the left is the side im growing in, basic dwc setup, this pic is showing everything transparent basically but you can see what im getting at. now it shows the light going into the other side which is a pretty big prb but wont be for long since thank god hps is a bit smaller. the flouros are for veg and then im going to scrog widd 1'' or 2'' chicken wire i have lots of.

very nice set up man, really clean, hope the grow i just started turns out half as good, good luck

MicroManincali · 11-27-2006, 09:49 AM

Update.. 200 hps on its way.. also had a big big prob with keeping the light in so my buddy works in the stage design bizz, so i got my hands on material thats sole purpose is to block light etc.. so pics to come tomorrow. also whats cool instead of this damn huge 24'' flouro fixture the hps fixture is like 12'' by 4'' or somthing like that so its a pretty sweet size for this grow... also modified the bucket for Scrog i used an old newspaper basket and pretty much attached it to the lid w/ zipties n wire..so pics tomorrow ..
peace..

ey there kids update still waitin on das HPS but i got the cab up and running today.. i think i also want to put like a fish tank on top of it to cover the really faint sound of an air pump. but newayz

is the cab finished and covered wit a bunch-o-crap and yea thats a genuine super nintendo chillin there where i kick it and pwn some face on some streetfighter 2 heh.

the bucket/water culture design

for nutes atm i be using liquid karma frm the local hydro store.
as for the strain its a seed i had hanging around afghan chronz of some type i hear its pretty sativa dominent so should be cool to experiment w/ and see how it reacts to this design. if it fails or i dont like, i got hook ups frm the clinic for some NYC or a super silver haze or some monster OG =) so ima happy camper atm. more pics to come soon!

anywayz im starting to regret the design of the cab a bit i should of just fit the front like a door and get rid of the rails cuz that is alot of space given up but w/ i can deal with it for now cuz it wont be so much of a prob until i get the hps which is smaller.
