Disguise suggestions

Hey all, looking for ideas on how to disguise this former office desk into a veg. and flowering chamber. Yes I can nail a few boards here and there and call it a day. But there is a stealth issue at hand to deal with. The plan is to use the taller chamber as a veg. chamber for mothers and the right chamber as the flowering. Also looking to get an estimate on how many plants I can veg. as well how many I can flower with these dimensions:
Left cabin- 28" H x 13" W x 11 1/2" D. Right Cabin: 27 3/4" H x 28 W x 14" D. I also plan on using the dryer hose to draw the cooler air from the nearby window sill into the cabinets. Thanks in advance for your ideas. D1.jpgD2.jpgD3.jpgD4.jpg

PS-Just a little note on the desk. Coming home from the local dive, I came back with not a lovely woman but this beauty...LoL! I spotted her as I slowly veered around the garbage truck along the way. She was sadly waiting for the crunching jaws of death the trash crew condemned her to. She was pleasantly light and surprisingly small enough to fit in my backseat. Score.

hey, always good to get a freebie but you have given yourself a lot of work. a few suggestions, maybe board up the fronts with 4mm hardboard and glue cheap cupboard doors on + handles, put a base in the flowering side and front plinth like the veg`ing side, also screw castors onto the bottom. screw another backing board like the flowering side, staple black out lining, or Velcro, to stop light leak out of the back, bearing in mind that the back will be your access. vent both cabs as you are doing, the electrics I would put in the space under the unit, this will mean you have wires at the bottom of the unit and you will be able to run along the skirting, if you use castors that should give you a little more height, any holes you have drilled in the bottom for wires I would silicone the holes sealing the wires and stopping any water getting through to any electric components. then paint the inside with a flat white paint like ceiling paint. then plant a few seeds wait 4 months and smoke some good shit ;-) good luck

28" high is pretty short. Some of that height will be lost in the lights and pot you use. Those are going to be some really small plants. You better consider growing 12/12 from seed and tying those plants down alot. I personally could not make that space work.

Hmmm...cupboard doors...Thanks emann. I already have most of the material to put it together, just needed shell ideas to make it look like something else. But a fake cupboard sounds like a good plan.

I considered and worked the details of all that you mentioned above green. I would use LST method on the plants and if others can get ounces out of the stealth PC micro boxes that they built, I think I can make this cavernous space work wonders for me. This challenge is an opportunity for me to skill up.

Veg side: divide it in two horizontally and you can have a mother area, and a clone area.
Flower side: LST and SCRoG will be your friends imvho.
I'd say go with LED's that way you will not have to worry about heat.

Now as far as making the desk steathylicious, go with your gut. If you put the time into it and don't rush the build I see major potential.

My "stealth" cab that is in the works for a winter project(first indoor venture, typically grow outdoors) is gonna be this nifty little shelf I found on the side of the road. Picked it up thinking, "Hey, I bet I could grow a plant in there." It's almost done, just waiting on a paycheck that doesn't get drained on bills/ car projects to finish.

I am here for the ride though. Certainly wanna see how this turns out.
Cheers
