New grow Set up under my Bed on stilts. Picks and Description.

This is my Third Grow. I just moved which is the reason for the new set up. I was originally looking at stealth grow containers, such as the PC grow box or the Cabinet that are popular online because I need to keep this on the dl from my roommates. I then realized i did not need something that blocks out the light because i can put up blankets under my bed and say the area is for storage. Anyways, I decided to use two 30Gal storage containers. I set each of them up with 1-120mm cpu fan for the intake; 2-80mm cpu fans for the exhaust; 4 - light fixtures which hang from chains so i can adjust the height above the plants. One container is for the Vegetative/Mother plants and the other is for the clones which i will be flowering. In between these two containers, I have set up a 3gal container which will be used for the automatic water pump. I have not yet calibrated how many times per day/week i will need to water my girls with this new set up.

Powering my cpu fans, I have a 280watt cpu power supply which i wired to run without the motherboard. I have two different timers for the each set of lights and I have a small fan outside of the containers to help circulate the air within the little room. I may need a bigger fan however.

I just started germinating the seeds today, so they are not in a growing medium yet.

If you have any Comment, Suggestions or questions, Please post below. I will be updating / monitoring this thread daily.

More pics to come.....

It cost me about $250 *including seeds* to build this setup.

Thanks! It's pretty nice because the fans in my Computer are louder than those in the containers. The only thing i really need to think about is the smell, and I feel that some ONA will do just the trick.

if you can hide all that maybe you could stick a 4" carbon scrubber in ther somwhere, hehe

Great idea, but I don't think I can hide it. This is about all I can get away with and that's because I have some storage boxes placed on Top of the containers to hide the wiring. Plus, it's not sealed tight so not all of the air would be running through the filter.

Dude, thats some freaky shit there. smart thinkn. And i thought i was the one who had zero space for any kind of grow.... you wouldnt believe where im tryin to get a couple to make it through till spring. I just need to be able to make all my cuttings for spring.
