You could just delete all personal info, don't be so suspicious :). Even if there are cops here, I'm sure theyre here learning how to grow not looking for potential growers, haha.

Those are LOOKING NICE, Might be time to flower :)

Note: The first pic looks like you just came on the plants haha.

thats a nice setup you have there... i am shooting for something very similar. My box is about 86F and im trying to get the temps cooler as i only have 4 of the 8 bulbs on right now. I will be growing blueberry gum and i want to grow another strain i have maybe white widow but im not sure if i should grow 2 different strains in the same reservoir. Where did you get your fans? are they loud? Im trying to go stealth as possible but having heat issues... Do you think the plexiglass i have mounted under my fixture is restricting airflow?

Sorry for all the ?'s I should be putting my seedling in rockwool tomorrow. Im going to try and do the screen method as well.

Hey man, the fans i have are 235 cfm 6" ecoplus axial fans i got off ebay for 60$ each, they were a little loud on full speed but they are so powerful i put fan speed controllers on them and i can run them at about 70% power with 12 23w cfls and keep my temps around 80 while keeping it pretty quiet. the little 4.5" fans you have that push around 80cfm are not going to cut it you will have to get some bigger fans and get a fan speed controller to slow it down so you have high airflow and quiet fans. i would get rid of the plexiglass it is reducing your air flow for sure. also for veg the light leaks you have in the front will be ok but you really need it 100% light tight for flowering. the box is looking really good so far.

i was afraid of that ... hmm seems i will have to replace all the fans but i bought a Pc fan controller as well and it seems i will not be able to use that with the fans you have... alot of money wasted wish i would have seen this earlier. I need to fix the light leaks because i want 100% stealth. I was just concerned with the noise output of the fans you have... eco plus has the EcoPlus 4.5" Axial Fan 112cfm, do you think i could get away with that if i got one for intake and exhaust? You said your fans are 6'' and i already have a 4.5'' hole cut for these fans... I dont have alot of tools to get creative here i borrowed the 4.5'' holesaw from my neighbor.

I would really like the option for 235cfm but i dont have $120 for fans right now and i just wasted about $60 with my current fan/controller setup:shock:

Im going to follow your thread as i am trying to do the same thing... i appreciate your help

the fans say they are rated at Rated Power : 18.7 WATTS, and my fan controller says Full compatibility with all types of fans using voltage control With a maximum of 10 Watts per channel, does this mean i need a new fan controller if i upgrade my fans?

im looking at 120mm 200cfm fans right now

Yeah you cant exceed the max watts per channel it will just short it out. Those fans say they push 250 cfm but i have a hard time imaging a 4.5" fan moving that much air it seems too good to be true in my opinion. I know it sucks but i think you are going to have to order a 4-6" inline fan or a pair 6"+ axial fans. cfl lights give off more heat than you think and you want it as close to room temp as possible so you will have to be moving a lot of air and it will make some noise and cost some money. Your best bet is getting a fan more powerful than you need and using a fan speed controller to slow it down and make it quiet while still moving a lot of air.

box looks sick man.. dont know if this has been mentioned yet but..be careful with that power extension being at the floor of the box.. any water hits that thing then you might have a problem..i always mount my eletrical supply to the top of the box to be on the safe side

nice one man, sweet setup. And smart thinking about keeping it as stealth as possible. You don't want anyone to know, you're pretty lucky with your landlord though, mine can visit me spontaneously without even giving a call, which really irritates me (I'm not from us) :)

Hey bro. Your setup is sweet man. I have been pondering now for a year whether I should build one or not. I love your cab, but I think I'll wait a bit before building mine. I am currently doing a micro cfl grow. So maybe when that's finished I'll use it as a veg box. Here is RSA we only like to build huge cabs or micro cabs. Occasionally we get grow tents and the lucky few who grow outdoors. Your setup looks solid and like something that I will pay for. Keep it up bro.
 
Read most all posts in this thread. Nice set up. I was wondering what you would do if you had 2 armories that measured 49" h (inc. 2 drawers)x 28"w x 18"d ? also read you where leaving ur babies for a week, all you can do is an ebb and flow system, unless you know someone that you can trust.
 
Don't trust anybody. You have a very stealth grow and the only way it will be found is if someone snitches.
