Smallest DIY box, stealthy, and small

Im looking to grow my first plant and im looking for a small very stealthy box. Ive looked into the pc boxs but they all seem way overpriced. So i came to the DIY forum to try to make one. What would be the smallest grow box i could make? Yeild is not an issue with me if i get a couple buds thats fine, also looking into the dwarf strains. But i need something small and stealthy. Any suggestions would be great

you can try to find a busted old pc and hollow it out and light it with cfls. personally i might use an old tv or a big guitar/bass cabinet amp

well, i was at the mall today and my friend happend to tell me about a small hydroponics setup. I bought it for 90 bucks when the box said 150 so that was cool. The only problem i think im going to have is the odor, i found a good spot in my closet that i can put it but the odor is going to be bad

if you enclose it in a rubbermaid or 2 (one on top of eachother) then you can vent it with and intake fan and a exhaust fan running into a carbon filter https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/7074-easy-build-diy-carbon-filter.html that will knock out any smell. but smell shouldnt be to bad untill you flower depending on the strain and the size and amount of plants

I'm going to plant 3 plants and how many females are left thats what will be growing, so say two plants, which will be pinched to keep small, about 12'' tall (yield is no problem) Not sure what strain they are, my friend just handed them to me. It is going to be in my closet which is about 2'x2'. Planning to keep plants small and hopefully budding quick.

i think a rubbermaid would be work for you because you could keep the smell down,you dont need a lot of space and its pretty stealth https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/140967-rubbermaid-grow.html heres my set up

I think that may be my best bet, my next problem is getting power into my closet (an outlet), there is an outlet right outside the closet but it would look suspicious if i drilled a whole in the wall and had a chord running to the outlet. not sure what im going to do there

id just take out the floor molding, hollow out some of it and run the cord through it.then you wont fuck up the dry wall you could just put something infront of where the cord goes into the molding

or pull up yo carpet and try to run it under there just put a night stand or some other bs infront of the outlet

or just run the extension cord in there and plug something inconspicuous in like a phone and put it in plain sight then just cover up the end of the ext cord

ya i think i got the setup figured out. I bought an aerogarden and im going to put two bigger plants in front and in the back i'll have a pot plant but i'll be topping it to keep it smaller with a side light on the side and it will also be against the wall. I have 2 seeds germinating now.

sounds good. i would recomend growing extra then presexing. it sucks to end up with 6 males and only 1 fem but it does happen to unlucky people... like me

Check my grow out. It's tiny!!!

checked it out.. your still pretty early in your grow so ya they are going to be small. curious to how they are going to end up though, good luck!

Thanks man! Hope yours do well also.

I recommend finding an old speaker at a garage sale and hollowing it out. If you look at the front of my speakers you cannot tell there are plants inside. I have them just for mother plants of course.

I'm guessing you are living with parental units and that is the reason for all the "stealth"?

Correct, and SICK setup.
My mom saw my Aerogarden already as i have it sitting next to my desk with just salvia in it (seeds are germinating) and she didnt care.. asked me how much i spent on it and stuff. I was tryin to hint that it may be somethin else though i asked her if she knew what it was and she said ya its that crap you had growin in the other room, (me) what if its not..?, (her) im going to bed...

lol it didnt really work but im gonna keep it as stealthy as possible just to be safe. I do like that setup though, it would look wierd having one big speaker in my room though lol

Make a box out of an old dresser or cabinet. I am going to use an 8 foot tall filing cabinet someday. Just need to get one ; ) Use an old dresser. U have to be handy but it's possible to make an airtight, dope stealth growing space from a dresser. ; )

true i still think rubbermaids are good you can cut holes and stack so you can have 4fters in there and it looks like storage look at this grow http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=100698

ya that would be nice if i had the room for those, but its winter and i think im going to have to grow under my bed because my closet doesnt have an outlet in it.
