Hidden Shrub Grow.

I came up with this idea, basically a fake shrub that is hollow on the inside with no top. It has a hidden door on one side, no roof, and the prototype im going to build will be a plywood frame, with fake shrub covering the outside of it so it will either blend in with your existing shrubs, or use multiple ones to create a wall of fake shrubs in your yard to grow in.

The two ideas i have so far are small single plant shrubs, which are 4'x 4' squares, and 6' tall. and the 8 plant site, which is 12'x 4' and also 6' tall.

The floor/base is a weather/water proof plywood, with a plastic layer over it, and it will have a 2" incline on one side with a drainage hole on the opposite to allow excess water from watering to drain out.

As optional features go, im thinking a clear plexi glass top to keep out water, small fans to keep air circulation and keep humidity levels down if the top is on.

let me know what you think (:

u know it really is a good idea and if the right person builds it with optimal DETAIL i think it would really work plexy glass top idk good quetion
 
Im gonna do some hand sketches with dimensions, i think this would work best if it was made with molded plastic but i dont htink i can do that. ill post pics when i get around to building it. i might do something else besides plywood for the walls, maybe some hard plastic panels or something if i can get my hands on them. but material wise i have no idea yet if you know something good or anyone else does let me know (:

looks like a good idea, just gotta have a top on it and the door sealed; you don't want any bugs to come in or birds to try and nest in it lol. Also you probably want it air tight so that if it rains no water builds up in it

The only bad part about this is the mylar.... If you build the frame and c over it on both sides but allow enough room on the inside for maximum sunlight to get in you can avoid detection...Incase anyone from above were to look down, they'd quickly see the mylar or possibly the inside of the wooden frame...IF it all blends in on the outside and inside this could be a fantastic idea

either get legal or wait a year or two and everyone will be legal and there will be no use for that anymore unless your trying to keep your neighbors out of your shit.sounds like alot of extra work.

it's an interesting idea, has merit
but air circulation could be an issue, heat will buildup quite a bit without some help from a fan(i think)
and that introduces some noise, which can travel a fair distance

maybe this already existed, but i don't recall seeing it posted
this is one example of a miniature stealthed greenhouse grow
this allows for a longer outdoor grow period and could be low cost, and the stealth is very novel
