The Stealth Project - Page 2

the level of stealth a person needs is all relative to the situation. some people need 100% stealth while other can get away with 70-80 percent stealth.

the problem I see is that there seems to be no temperature control or any equipment to monitor the temperature at all. the sprouts look stretched and are falling over as well. you can pot them and then fill the soil all the way to the the first set of leaves to support the thin stem.

I guess I need to appologize, I guess whenever I heard someone say 'stealth' I automatically assumed 100% stealth. I really didn't have a concept of percentage of stealth. I just figured if you were going for 70% stealth or so you wouldn't call it stealth, just like low profile or something, but I guess you make alot of sense Galvatron. Sorry if I offended anyone, not trying to.

i dont think the original poster took it offensively so theres no need to apologize.

one thing people need to remember is that when the US government calls their planes stealth(which is where we take the term from) its not 100% stealth, its no where near that. its just a designation for planes with lower than normal radar visibility, and that definition should be applicable to 'stealth' growers as well.

I agree, nothing in my opinion can be completly stealth, it's just a goal to strive for. And I am very familar with the origins of the word and it's military uses, and how a B2 isn't 'invisible', but that radar picks it up as looking like a sparrow, not as a jet. Disguising it, therefore, as something completly different and unimaginable as a grow box is the goal. I just think the term 'stealth' is thrown around a little too often is all. Most dresser grows arn't even stealth in my opinion, but maybe I'm just a little too harsh on myself and others and have unreachable goals.

All and all, I wish you the best of luck paddy, and I'll be stoping in to watch how it's going. I hope you get what you are trying to get, I really do. Don't be afraid to think outside the box, some of the best ideas come from those kinds of places. One of the best 'stealth' grows I've seen yet doesn't exactly fall into conventional lines:

First of all no i didn take offense from what he said,i was just tryin t say i know i'm not doing everything perfectly,and i know its not completely 'stealth'., but im jus doin it as an experiment and the reason i called it 'the stealth project' is because i dont have the freedom to grow it anywhere in the house,so i have certain space restrictions, and well i spose im not supposed to be growing it in the first place......

but anywho im guna try it my way and see if it works, and hopefully sum of yous will take interest in it and give advice now and then upon the way

now to answer some of your questions:

1. no its not a filing cabinet its just a simple set of bed-side drawers which i removed the back of the drawers themselves and left the front on so it appears to be normal(my idea of stealth)

2.i already have d vermiculite so i guess ill try and use it when puttin my plants into pots.

3. The 2 plants that are long and stretched started growing on a window sill,thats why they're not in the best of condition,and i spose they were stretching to reach the sunlight.

4. and its a full spectrum light

so anyway il try and keep you posted on my,or my plants, progress upon the way.

peace out

paddyd19 · #20 04-02-2008, 02:44 PM

hi there, well i promised new pics so here they are. all 4 of the northern lights seeds have sprouted and are goin strong. i put them into pots tday and watered them. i also invested in some plant food : Bio Biz Bio-Grow plant food , 8.0-2.0-6.0! I got it in my grow shop. i also fed them with this. Anyone ever used this stuff before? Any use?

I noticed on one of the seedlings the end of the leaves seen to be curling up to the light. anyone know any reasons for this?should i be worried? any comments or advice is appreciated

Cheers
