My stealth grow plan

**the calm** · 11-12-2007, 10:28 PM

So I'm wanting to try my first grow, and i think i may have found a suitable place to do it. I have a 14" wide x 28" long x 9" deep antiquish suitcase thing, it's metal

with a wood lining. I would be turning it up on it's end so it sits tall (it's already been sitting like that for about 6 years, so nothing sketchy) Anyways, i calculated that

to 24.5 sq. feet. Then i tested and i can run a cord (i tested w/ one of those about 8" wide fans) out of the suitcase, and still close and latch it. So I'm thinking i

could use this 60 watt blue colored grow bulb thing i already have, it looks just like a normal bulb except sorta blue, and it's for growing, but not sure if that'd work...

Then i have a little ass 50watt HID of some sort, it looks just like a big one, except its little and goes in a desk lamp, so maybe???... and then i hadn't really worked

out a watering plan, other than opening it all the time and manually doing it. Any advice??? Ha, probably all shaking your heads "This guys stoopid!" I'm totally open

to other idears, but i need it stealth status. Thanks

EDIT: Ohh!! Nother question: If i buy seeds and get like 20, if i plant like 2, can i save the others for as long as i want, or do they die after a while??

stealthy for your parents, or feds?

**the calm** · 11-12-2007, 10:42 PM

no worries about feds since it would be so low key, and i don't have any record. the people i'm living with would for sure not be cool with it.

If you could get a pic up itd be nice to see what all you got too work with, but the plan sounds great from what I can picture

ok well ima say a few things... no1 your space is small as fuck and you will get small yeild... that being said i would suggest you going with cfls.... MH or HPs might be to hot for that small space... you should go with a small strait.... indica dominant.try to get atleast 5000 lumens for each of the plants you plan on growing... try to stick to 1-3 depending... from there i would use LST( low stress training) or SCROG( screen method ) to keep your plants short and still get some decent yeild... im not sure what this "blue light" is that your talking about... and im not sure if your mh will be to hot... it is a small watage and would prolly work for veging your plants...other thoughts are... odor control might be hard out of a little case... a fan sticking out might look weird .... watering doesnt have an exact manual of how to do things.. just wait for your soil to get dry and water again( stick finger in 1 inch to test) order 10 seeds... plant 3-4 odds are half will be male or wont sprout or germinate... so plant more then you need then take out males if you have more then u need then u can pick the healthiest ones and kill the others... win/win situation... after then get to about 8-10'' you will need to flowe they will double in size woll flowering but with lst you could prolly work it out

any other questions just post em here and others will try to help

and seeds shouldent die unless your smashing them with a hammer

i'm only planning on one to start out w/. and the fan wouldn't be sticking out, i took the stand part off, so it's just the motor and encaged blades, so its completelty inside w/ just a wiring running out the corner of the box. ha, and i'll try to avoid smashing them with a hammer. i can't find the good camera, the bad camera is broken, and the webcam l pics look like shit, so i'll get pics up as soon as i can and you can check out my idear iggy

thats really really pushing it... its possible but you wont get a good yeild ... you will have to flower your plants at like 5-10 inches..

28 total inches - 5 for lights - 5 for pots leaves about 18 inches of vertical space for the plant... assuming plant would double in size woll flowering...
