Dear All,
I hope you can help me out. I want to build my own Stealth cabinet, not to grow huge amounts but enough for my own personal habit.
I want to use something like a metal stationary cupboard or filing cabinet that I can buy from a furniture store, as this comes ready made with a lock and prying eyes wont be looking around it too much. It needs to be stealth so that every couple of weeks or so when my in-laws come over they don't suspect anything.
I would also want to buy a ready made metal cabinet because I think it would look batter than wood in my spare room, but is it hard to ventilate them? Will they heat up too much?
My likely dimensions will be (inches):
Height: 28"
Width: 40"
Depth: 25"
These are all estimates. From what I've read on here, (and I'm not an expert), I think I would like two main sections, one for mothering, the other for flowering?
If so, how many exhaust fans would I need? Would one be sufficient for the whole cabinet? I ask this as one of the
designs I have seen completely separates these two compartments, I guess so no light is leaked when they are on different light cycles?
I plan to grow in soil as I have heard this is slightly more forgiving for a first time grower. Will the following spec be sufficient...
Section 1 (Mothering, Smaller, Planned 2 plants at a time)
One x 150W 6400K CFL LAMP BULB - LIGHT BLUE
One computer fan to circulate air around this compartment only, I don't yet know how this would be connected up.
Section 2 (Flowering, Larger, Planned 2 plants at a time)
One x 150W 2700K CFL LAMP BULB - LIGHT RED
Again a computer fan (BB Type) to be hooked up to circulate air. I have also purchased a couple of white LED strips which I could perhaps use down the sides to offer some small additional
lighting.
Then a 4" inline fan mated to an odorsok carbon air filter to be used as the exhaust. From what I understand I also need vents to let air in and these don't need filtering as the exhaust pressure will automatically stop air leaking?
Guys I know this is far from perfect and that you're all very busy and probably enjoying a nice smoke
, but any help or advice would be gratefully received.
Many Thanks,
Chris
