Okay well here is the easiest way to describe what I have done.

I got a black toat, drilled six 3" holes in the top for the net pots. I bought a submersible water pump and placed in on the inside bottom of the toat and connected a six way splitter to it so the water would be delivered to each individual plant at the same time. I also bought a 13 inch air stone and attached it to the bottom of the toat in the water so all the plants would get fresh O2. There is an air pump outside of the toat which then connects to the air stone. I have two different timers one for feeding the water through the tubes to the plants every 5.5 hours for a 1/2 each time, and the other timer is used to turn on and off the sunlight. I know that reading this might be a little confusing cause it sure as hell confused me trying to write it out so others could understand. haha. Alright hope that answered it!

Tonight was awesome, we decided that we needed a little more... secrecy to our little hide out for our wonderful grow palace so as you can see we found the best hiding spot ever. If you look at the pictures you will see exactly what we did! Also along with pictures of our little babies which we have actually decided to name finally (also down below!) All of the names have been specifically picked so please don't be mean.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments and suggestions!

gotta be honest but a dresser in the closet with a black thing stickin out and an electrical cord isnt very dl.(it is kinda cool lookin though) That being said good luck the chi always needs more weed... also hope your neighbor dosn't know what your doin... the good news is 5 plants or under is a misdermeanor if no other priors, I wish you the best.

Sorry, also have you thought about removing the water pump and just filling your tote with water about all the way to half up the net pots, that way you dont have to worry about the timer and all that and eventually your roots will just grow right into the water and then all you got going is the airstone and everything is easy? just a thought, that has worked out great for me. The only concern would be the plastic totes sometimes bend with all that water weight so i double mine up

Awesome thanks for your opinions. We have thought about all of that but we have put shoes in front of the dresser so it looks just the way it did when we moved in, also we have thought about just filling up the water but since we have all this great equipment we don't want it to go to waste so I think we will just stay with what we have. But again thanks for your opinion and keep checking in we might change it at some point. And we don't have neighbors for miles so that's not really a worry of ours.

The dresser doesn't give you much vertical height> Do you plan on doing your entire grow in the dresser?

Actually yes we are planning on keeping them in the dresser. We have different leg attachments that will allow them to grow in there until they are mature. I am keeping the lights close so the plants will be short. At least that is the plan for now they can always change.

Have you ever, thought of lining the inside of your dresser with visqueen that would shine alot of your light back onto the plants

Hahaha I know what you mean, I love telling people about stuff when I have just learned it and pretend I've known it for years. All from stuff I have either read in High Times or read on here. Our little babies are doing really well actually, our hiding hole keeps a good temperature so there really is no worry there and because we have everything on timers we never really have to worry about turning the lights on or anything. We just have to check the PH level everyday but we never expect it to change lol. I still have been taking pictures everyday and I will attach some new pictures of our babies below. Thanks for asking! Keep in touch!

Sorry rambling....Peace for now

I hope you did a really low dosage cuz the ladies don't need really any nutes when they're young...well that's at least what I've read around here. I gave mine some (a very small amount) with my watering around day 14 I think and they'll would of been great if I didn't add a little transplant food a day later lol. Just trying to look out for ya...PEace for now and they're look awesome... I'm going to post an update on mine today
