Hi everyone,
I have been a smoker for a few years, but after getting arrested i decided i am done dealing with shady people, and will be growing my own personal stash now. Well this was about 2 months ago and after lots of reading on "rollitup", and a few weeks of build time between school and work, this dresser is what i came up with.

interior dimensions- 30" tall 26.5" wide and 14" deep

electrical is all wired up to a 8 socket light timer inside the box which is wired to a removable cord on the exterior of the box. 4 of the plug ins are programmed on the timer for the lights and 4 of them are programmed to be on always and that is what i have the fan speed controllers plugged into.

lighting- 12 23w CFL bulbs ( 6-65k, 4-5k, 2-27k ) for flower i will be doing 8 27k and 4 65k, shelf under with 2 glass panes to prevent plants from ever touching the lights directly. the bulbs are 3 per power strip and 4 power strips for the top.

fans- 2 70 cfm fans to blow hot air from lights down to main chamber to be exhausted ( these are plugged in to the lights power strips at the top so they turn off when the timer turns the lights off ), 1 235 cfm ecoplus fan on intake and another 235cfm ecoplus exhaust fan. both intake and exhaust fans are on growbright fan speed controllers to quiet them down.

grow pot- 4.13 gallon grow pot 24" long 8" wide at base 10" wide at top and 6" tall with hooks every 1" around the top for LST strings to be attached

Scrog screen 2" by 2" netting made from speaker wire

movable shelf with 1/2" holes every 1" to still get air circulation

light traps on the back guide airflow for intake and exhaust while making light leaking a non issue

I ordered 1 white widow seed and 1 sour deisel seed and they are germinating as i type this so i will be updating when they are planted and as they grow. Get excited i know i am!

I probably forgot to list some stuff so any questions just ask.
Hope yall like the box as much as i do

Looks very nice. Subbed and will follow with interest
Im glad you like it, as much fun as i had building this box, i also spent a lot of time energy and well way to much money building this box and it is always nice to hear others like it too. I planted the just germinated seeds this morning and hopefully they will be breaking ground in the next 2 or 3 days and of course as soon as they do i will be taking photos and posting them like the proud plant father that i am!

Thanks man, its my first grow but not my first project building something. So hopefully the plants turn out as well as the box did, just planted the white widow and sour desiel i ordered from "attitude seedbank" which is linked on the homepage of this site. Photos as soon as they break ground!

Yeah of course man i assume you mean the intake and exhaust fans, they are ecoplus 6" axial fans i got on ebay for 65$ each they move 235 cfm. They were a little loud ( sound about like when the AC in my house kicks in ) but after attaching a Brightlight fan speed controller to each one and put them on about 70% power i can feel serious air moving in and out of the light traps while making the box run at a low hum, these fans i have running 24/7 for fresh air. The two little fans at the top blowing the air down are little 5$ 70cfm camping fans i got a walmart and just attached cellphone chargers to them, i got at my local thrift store, so they no longer run on batteries but the power strip
for the top lights turning off with the lights.

Awesome job bro! This is incredible! You obviously possess electrical skills that make this a pipe dream for most of us, kudos, sir, well done.
 
Daaaamn dude that is dope as hell. Probably one of the best stealths I've seen. The ONLY thing I would PERSONALLY worry about is the space. If you're growing 2, unless they are guaranteed Fems, you risk the chance of growing a male and a female, and having that male dick everything up if you don't remove it from the grow. Other than that, this is the slickest set-up i've seen, and can't wait to see more my dude. Keep it Sticky

Thanks man, yeah the seeds are guaranteed fem i ordered them off "attitude seedbank" and i will be using LST and SCROG to maximize the fairly small grow space. This is my first grow and if everything goes well i plan on making another similar just larger dresser for flowering and use the one i have now for vegging.

Update for anyone who cares ( box is running at 84 degrees with 34% humidity ) heat and air flow seem to dry the soil out really quickly but i will be watching it like a hawk, seeds have yet to break surface but did have a small white tail when they were planted yesterday. i know these things take time i am just anxious to see them grow.

View attachment 1827578White Widow seed has broken the surface of the soil, the SourDesiel hasnt yet but i am sure it is right behind the WW. temp is running between 82-84% with fans set to 50% power and humidity is around 50% after waterings and 40% before. I am using distilled water and no nutes yet. The soil is fox farm i forget which one is was a baby blue bag with fish on it

Its probably FoxFarm Ocean Forest, you shouldn't have to feed the girls for at least 3-4 weeks, that soil has all the food they need in it (I use the same soil). Also I hear it may be better to use spring water rather than distilled because the spring water has minerals and trace elements that the plant can use, but like I said its just what I heard.

Def FFOF. And yea, i asked about nutes at my lhs when purchasing it and he told me not to mess with them for a month or so. "its loaded with nitrogen"

very nice Great BongHolyeo, i'm watching for sure...i would just ask one question, the glass, doesn't it filter light a bit and absorb heat? i don't know but i kinda thought it did. i love love love your dresser :clap:

I had that same concern but i wasnt really sure. I went ahead and put it there to create a barrier between the plants and the light but i am sure that it does absorb some i was just hoping not much. The plants have started to open up i am about to post pics right now!
