What's the smallest area you've grown in?

I am curious what kind of tiny areas people have successfully finished a crop in. Like did you go from clone to harvest in a 2x1 tote? What size fan/light did you use in your little space?

Or something along those lines, not so much that you grew a crop in a solo cup you kept in your climate controlled room sitting on the shelf ;) (not that that in itself isn't an achievement)

I have no experience to add to this discussion as the smallest I have grown in is a 5'x5'x7', but am extremely interested in the innovation others put into the idea of tiny spaces

I grew under a folding table with a sheet over it and panda film under the sheet, lights on 24/7 and moved plants every 12 hours to a dark chamber. No fans, the plants got moved enough fans wernt needed. Around 200 watts of led screw in bulbs. Managed nearly a lb. Frequently had people in the room and nobody knew.

Largest super stealth grow I've heard of.

Did you feed nutes or just str8 soil the whole way? Was it alot of work to keep them under a 3ft table height wise?
Ya I gave nutes.
Wasnt much work overall, I'm a pretty experienced grower and this was very small scale for me. I had several hundred seeds and just did 12/12 from seed, topped as needed, and split to 2 groups under 24 when I saw preflowers. I think I did that for 6 months or so. Was temporary so it was just something to pass time. And it was fun.

Did you have to go 12/12 from the start to keep them small enough?
The first run I didn't...lol it was hell. The subsequent runs,I did with heavy pruning and defoiliation...they were ran in solo cups under CFL bulbs. Long, long, time ago.

Converted set of drawers. Base is 28" x 12" but I can get 15" deep at canopy level. Only 32" high in total.
Been growing in here in a garage for the last 4 years. Both adult kids still have no idea.
Used to use household leds but swapped to samsung strips to give more height, better spread and less power usage.
Mainly grow 2 autos per run and LST the hell out of them. Average between 4 - 7.5 oz dry in total. Current grow is 12 days from breaking surface.

Current grow is a 2’x2’x4’ box. Seems to work great for my single plant! :)
Im running an HLG 100v2 3000k and it’s perfect

My outdoor plant started as a clone in a foam ice chest that I cut the part of the top off of, lined with foil, covered with a cut-in-half ziplock bag and a 9w led on it. Stayed in there until it was stable but I would love to try a full grow in a small space like that. It was easy to control the temps/rn in the ice chest.
