A Grow Chimney, Primarily for growing Lowryder Options

[prawn]

that is a brilliant use of space mate
one normalized chimney

Thats a wicked setup, bet you looked like a miner after opening up that firepace.

I just chopped some Magic Buds @ 25cm height getting a shy oz per plant chopped, bend them over with some string on the pot. Bet they'd fit in the little santa box.

Impressive use of an unused space. I smiled at the use of the kids lego bricks for a stand... as said earlier "Where theres a will, theres a way".

I'm just about the harvest the forth grow in the chimney... I've almost cracked this growing lark

I've added two 40mm fans to help suck air in and added another 120mm fan to blow the air around. The chimney gets very hot with the light down low and the plants don't like it. There is not a lot of space for the hot air to escape past the reflector. When the lights are high up, the conditions are just about right.

Lights are out at the moment, plus I have no curtains up because I've been decorating all week, so no pictures of the inside.

I just need to fix the skirting board on and put some more filler in places and it is totally finished. I'll post some pictures when it's complete. Here is a sneak preview. Very stealthy. I can't think of anyone who's asked about it.

hi inda, top idea i like it its inventive, cant take nowt away from ya . just a word though on security does ur chimney bend or is it blocked off. because u dont want any light reflecting out of the top of it , hehe on a foggy night it will be like one of those search lights with a colum of light rising from ur chimney like luke skywalkers light sabre not tryin to worry u but best to be safe for when the dibble fly over in their nasty flyin machines. peace dude enjoy

Nice work buddy...(would make a nice space for my mums!!)

In same sort of house but split into 2 flats... I was wondering about putting my ducting from the g/room into the chimney.

Are the chimney's for both floors separate? or do both floors share the same one?... didnt want the granny upstaire getting a wiff from a backdraft!!!

Anyways.. nice job

Mate, I'm in the same as you, downstairs flat with a sealed chimney, but mine has a vent on and so does upstairs so he'd smell it in his living room. I reckon the answer will be running a a pipe up to the top of the chimney. I was thinking of using the round guttering pipe in the largest size they did at Travis Perkins. I would cut it into sections that would fit into the chimney. Push one in, attach a joint piece, then attach another section and push it up. Just get enough joints to reach the right to the top. A rectangular pipe would make better use of the chimneys profile, but I'd be looking to mount an inline fan inside the pipe anyway so a round pipe is just easier.

I'd wait until upstairs has gone out as well and get a mate to keep an eye incase he comes back, people get very upset about scratching noises in the walls.

That's a very good point, a 600w MH would bring planes in to land on your estate.
