My first stealth cfl indoor armoire grow

After growing outdoors last summer, I decided to build a indoor stealth cabinet in the garage.

I started with a armoire off craigslist for $60


After several trips to home depot etc, I purchased reflectix for a liner and all my supplies to build it


And then some CFL fixtures, power strips, computer fans etc.



Here it is closed, total stealth.


I had a friend that gave me some clones


And here is week 3 of veg so far

Looks good!Stop fooling around!..lol..just paint the inside white.
Kilz 2 latex white primer is my suggestion and maybe use some of these......to get those bulbs sideways.Great job on the armoire!

great idea on the sideways adapters!!

I'm also fighting humidity issues, it averages around 20% and I have a plan for that.

My temps average 65f night to 81f during the day

I'm a little worried about a nitro/cal/mag deficiency cause the leaves are kinda lime green, so I added some coffee grounds and eggshells and a tiny bit of epsom salts. I'mm trying to do most of this with all natural nutes

Good luck!.....I'm subbed....What's the plan,man??..... for the low rh%??

are those top lights adjustable? eyehooks at top on chains work great ,also a d.i.y. reflector ,shoot that light coming from top of those cfls back down an aluminum turkey pan works great and can be easily cut for cords.I would leave that window cracked and make a passive intake to pull in fresh air. Cant tell from pics.Do you have an exhaust ,if not a home depot bath 50 to 100 cfms are cheap and work great for that space.Vent to attic if you can ,use removed shelving to box in duct to keep stealth.If lights are on and your room on outside is dark you should see no light coming from inside or you have light leaks.Duct tape can help this or an old quilt cut to size of your opening on velcro . Ive been down this road and this can produce nicely .Most important is the constant adjustment especially in stretch of those cfls to keep them no more than 1 inch away from the tops and a fan shooting cool air in between lights and tops. good luck

Looking good man. I too have low humidity.

I purchased those t sockets, and yes the top lights are on ratchets and I lowered them down nice and close.

For rh, I picked up one of these http://www.petco.com/assets/product_images/0/097612950151C.jpg to give it a try since most humidifiers I found were too big to fit in there.

And yes I have variable speed 4inch intake fan in the lower left and the same for exhaust in the upper right.

I have to keep a constant eye on temps and turn off or on the side lights depending on the time of day

And luckybleu, yes its 100% light proof ( one of my pics has glare, but trust me with all garage lights off, no light is escaping)

You got it......seems to me you don't need any help

Hopefully I don't need help, my last dose of coffee grounds/eggshells and Epsom salts seems to be working
