An old fridge is perfect for a stealth grow, as it shouldn't leak light or smell. If you take the mechanics out [compressor], be careful, as it contains freeon gas. Not 100% sure, but I think it's against the law to release the freeon [but please don't quote me on this]. One nice thing about using a unit like this is that you can really control the temps and oxygen. Could make for a very interesting DIY thread. Good luck!

cool i think ima do that because i wanna grow and breed and i was thinking i could use the freezer for clones or breeding you know and to top it off in my lease it states that my landlord must have an key i ain't trying to take that chance the fridge idea might set me back a few weeks, but to grow in almost complete secrecy priceless ill keep yall posted I'm bout to go find a broken fridge preferable but ill buy a old working one if i have to NELSON Ill read up on the Freon thing but i think your right. do you think ill need to cut a exhaust hole?

i would say that fresh air is a must, so you may need an intank and out take hole. may want to put a diy carbon filter on the outake to cover up smell.

Someone on this site has pictures of a Refrigerator Grow.

Try and find it, it was pretty impressive and he laid it all out with pictures.

If I find the link, I'll post it here. I looked but couldn't find it.

The guys vented the Top Frezzer and had a light up top. He had a Fan on the bottom blowing up from the floor. I think he was running a 400 watt HPS. He really did a good job in fabrication, it looked like an old fridge.

Good Luck :leaf:
