What Will I Do? A Very Stealty Grow in Small Area

I want to start growing but I have to keep it very hidden. I tried a couple times in the past and it didn't work out so well. My roomates are very nosey so my plan is to try to grow under the floorboard of the 2nd floor under the carpet and wood and remove the insulation. I'm sick of crappy weed that's mostly seeds. I wanna grow some sensimalia but would only have about 1 foot of height,1 foot width x about 3 feet. I have 2 75w equivalent CFLs already. Any advice would be great :blsmoke:

well if you smoke once a month it might work lol. you only have 45 true watts, thats enough to start a plant for about 2 weeks. weed grows fast man you gotta keep up

There's a guy here named "stealthy" he has some neat setups you should run a search on him here at RIU.

What you need is small cabinet, could be wood, drywall, plastic, an old fridge, whatever you want that could be disguised. You need to provide the basics: Light, Air, Medium and Co2 and then you need to control the secondary variables like temperatures and RH. There's specific gear for each one of those task that you'd need to buy an a Hydroponic or hardware store.. There's a third variable involved with plant height. If growing with CFLs your finished plant should never be taller than 14-18", SCROG/Training might be needed in most of the cases. Last but not least, is odor control:make sure your GR is Air tight, no cracks, no light leaks, nothing!! you could make some DYI yeast Co2 makers and run your tent completely isolated from the outside word- It's mandatory to get an Activated charcoal filter please DYS a favor and get a CAN rather than the cheap growbright.

ok heres my two cents.

unless u live in an incredibly old house the space between the foulrboards and the next floor down will be less than 16 inches
figure at les six inches for pots, 3 inches for cfl light bulbs, one inch margin, and ur talking a max plant height of 6 inches.

what u need to do is start looking at furniture, enclosed items that dont seem suspicious,
small fridges (nobody wonders about a lock on a fridge), if ur a computer geek with 10 old pc's layin around a full tower case can serve u well,
file cabinates, etc.

just think of what would be the least suspicious item u could do

u can always grow the plant side ways.
I like this idea.

I'm currently working on a bonsai mom with a cascading effect, like a lollipop turned sideways. She's got a nice long and smooth main stem and her bushy round "top" is outside the pot and below the top of the root zone.

Her bushy branches fight their way up quite vigorously, which gives her an odd look when it's time to trim her back, but I imagine she'd flower quite reliably considering she is one of my sturdiest, most vigorous moms.

EDIT: Posted while I was typing, but yeah... what he says:

like i said bonsai techniques are must have knowledge

I've arrived :) Hi Kayagold and fellow growers! Have you considered growing under your bed instead? it'd be alot easier (in theory). Post some pics of all possible locations around the house where a grow would go unseen ie under your bed, in an bedside cupboard and God forbid.. even a PC Case (big) etc etc....

I love designing Grow-Cab's etc.. let me know if you want a hand and I'll go all out to help you on-line to achieve an uber-Stealth setup.


Let me know your thoughts.. I'll leave a LINK to my latest thread which shows 2 cabs being made from start to finish and a complete grow in one of them, It may help you with some ideas :) :-
