Here is my grow-drobe, its actually an old tv cabinet picked up from the second hand furniture shop, costed me 15 Big Ones whoever said buying a tent is cheaper has got it all wrong.
Took me two days to cut what i needed to and put my stuff in there( with kind help of the missus). I got fed up with the black and white reflective so i just sello taped all of it in there, thought that bathroom sealant may have too many chemicals in it for the plants This is my first grow-cab, but im quite impressed by it, and since i put the black and white curtains in, almost no leaking light! The light is a 150 Watt HPS, and is plenty for me, because in the end there will only be two mamma's sharing this sexy little place.

At the moment there are 4 pots, as im hoping to get two fems out of the four, and ive got a standard household CFL in the reflector socket and one CFL hanging from the ceiling just for some extra lumens.

There is no fans or extraction but by tuesday there will be : two pc 4" fans blowing air in, and a 4" extraction fan coupled with a carbon filter, the good thing about tv cabs is that they already have air vents in them ( old TV's needed it, new ones too ) so mounting all of this will be a good hour job, instead of a two- three hour job (Yes, i like to take things one step at a time if you thinking im slow).

Any thoughts?

What do "stealth locks" look like and could they be fitted on mine?

Open to suggestions ?

Hi fella, nice looking set up. All you need is a Sky box on it and no-one would eva know

Luv it

I hope you labelled both sides though because if you didn't then they will see thier names through the paper and Lehcar and Yleek at least are going to be very confused. Thats how hermis start a bit of gender confusion and they split it down the middle!

I prefer to label them clearly with male names and a pick of the last male victim in my growroom in its death throws...... just in case they are undecided

yeah i get what your saying, but i think female names are better encourages them to find the inner female (gunna go and put names on both sides so they know who they are but i dont enjoy chopping a plant i could have been smoking

Nice and stealthy , think I might have to have a look for a cabinet like that for my vegging room.

Good luck with your grow

cheers buddy, took a bit of elbow grease to get it the way i wanted it, and to get it so it would still be rigid. By the way, purple stems mean the temps are too low, right?

nice setup bud , i have that exact cabinet in my house , might have to sweet talk the mrs j/k she would kill me.

gl with grow , ill be watching

Do you? whered you get it? i found it in a second hand shop, well my mum did, and i payed her to let me have it she went mad when i got out the handsaw and was making a mess of it everywhere the problem with these cabs are that they arent very rigid after the shelves have been taken out and they need brackets to reinforce them.

Anyway, cheers for dropping by

EP

gr8 job man, nice idea to use cab other way than with tv ;]
i must consider doing the same.. just perfect and very (!!!) stealthy

Looks like a nice 'drobe mate.

My only question would be, are you just planning on growing dwarfs? All the plants I've grown so far tend to be over 6ft tall.

Very nice m8.

You should sell 'em. There's money in there cabs

I'd buy one !

Swift:

I thought so too, cheers, today i went out and got a few fans to blow air in to the chamber from the vents, i got em for free because a friend of mine is a huge computer guy who knows everything there is to know, you ask what is RAM? and goes on for hours and hours at a time. so yeah since he builds computers for fun hes got spare fans here and there

Air vents in old tv's man, looks inconspicous, better than silver ducting on display i think light baffle hasnt been placed yet, but i will stick a bit of cooker hood material, have already ordered it.

Have duct'd em to the wall, since there will be the cooker hood material but i dont want to screw em down yet.

Group photo, that one is growin tall quick( keely that is ), going to fix this problem by potting her them in deep when re-potting is happening.




Quagmire:

Seems to be your growing sats, indicas only( the strain ive chosen: hindu kush) grow to about 90 cm at most. i have to agree i dont have 90 cm, but i have around 75 cm, and have plans to train the plants to be even shorter. hopefully this works out, i will follow blabs diary to help me
and the fact that this will be a two plant garden, has enough yeild to satisfy my needs for 2 months .


andyr:

Yeah? how much would you pay for this, all kitted out with a 250W hps, 4" Ruck fan and coupled carbon filter?

nicely done mate

i'd pay like £180-250 for something similar, then again the proof is in the product at the end of the effort...if you prove it can work, then you may find you have a customer base

Hey, I could be onto something here

Thought id share a little picture

looking healthy and strong there

if i see it correctly your plant is angling towards the light, mine did too, I just turned them around every day in the end they grow nice and straight

I think that i will be bending these plants,just so i can get more yield in this small amount of space, or would i get more yeild by just letting them grow straight, what do you think?

EP

I wouldn't dare say anything about yield but I guess bending is indeed a better option with your space

in seeing your space i would say training and topping will be neccesary for optimun yeild the seedlings look good there pots are a little large but they wil grow into them. remember heat and lack of light will cause plants to stretch which is somthing you wish to avoid in a space like that. it looks damn neat that cabinet! good luck with it. rebirth

i can't see anywhere what strain it is...
you have some kind of dwarves strain?
share it with us ;]

I think it is a bit too stealthy to be honest.

You might forget you have a grow on the go all together with that bad boy.

seriously tho looks good chief well stealth be interestin to see how you deal with the height I have enjoyed reading chaps diaries where they do some serious training to use the space available.

rebirth:

yeah Keely has stretched quite a bit, but her leaves have grown to 5 and a half cm diameter aswell so i think its fine, to correct any stretching i will pot deeper when i am repoting. about a week or two into veg i will start training my bitches give some nice curves to their straight skinny bodies cheers rebirth.

swiift

The strain is hindu kush

At first i wanted to grow Top44 because of it being short and quick flowering time, but i heard that the smoke was abit shite so i decided to get something that was indica and had a good smoke. I actually saw rebirths diary of it( the hindu kush), and i saw all those trichs and sparkly bits of thc and i decided thats what i want. it was at my local hydro store so i knew i wanted them.

Flowering: 45-50 days
Height: 105-125 cm
Yield: up to 95 gr
Info on Hindu Kush

How could i forget, its the first thing i do every morning, check on my ladies


Since some of you lot refer to this as my diary, i will add some pics to entertain you

Here is my calender, where i have marked out substantial events that have happened, also this helps me keep track of how old the plant is and when i need to switch light cycles.

Good temps me thinks

Heres two more, dont they look cute?

Since Lucy and Keely had really weak stems and toppled over i decided to attach them to a straw to help them grow straight and gather strength. Bit worried about Lucy because i had a look at her root system, and it looked fine, it was just the start of the stem that was really just like a rubber band, hopefully this straightening method will help her gather some strength, i also sprinkled Cavemans Bat Guano onto Rachels soil to give her those extra nutes she might need to body build herself, wont be starting the nutes for these girls till the 2nd or 3rd week of veg, otherwise it would be like giving steroids to a newborn baby (wow thats a sight id like to see) (not really)


Input and comments and advice is always warmly accepted!!!

All looking very stealthy and healthy in here, are you going to do a diary estpaul..?

Should i? isnt it late to start?

it's never too late (;

Well its been about a week now since you guys have seen some pics so i thought id share, also about 3 days ago i got my extraction fan

I stole someones idea and put the extractor fan into a box and filled the box with good old cheap pillow stuffing

and some pics of the ladies xxxx my gf gets so jealous because i call them that

and two more, let me know what you guys think!

hi there m8 that cab looks very cool I keep thinking of buying an old drobe to build into the cupboard in the garage light seepage isnt too much of a problem for though as with the door shut and the garage door shut it gets very dark and light doesnt tend to get through
verty nice crop you got going there i can only hope in future to get a cycle going as good as this

Peace Blazin

no dont worry mate, this crop is shite, its my first grow, just hopinh to gain some experience, thats all

keep growing

EP

week 3 almost week 4 ( on saturday )

yeah a few mornings back i had woken up to the strong stench of cannabis in my room, seems my little babies had started to take on a stong sweet lovely distinguished smell. it was lovely, but i want to remain stealthy and hooked up my carbon filter to my extraction unit. i admit i am lazy, i didnt hang it from the ceiling yet because i am lazy, when i need to repot the plants i will move it up there

heres the latest pic of the cabinet,

What do you think?

EP

Best to get the filter high up m8 all the hot air is at the top will help ya control temps better too

yeah ill probs do that next week willl update as soon as i have

EP

nice plants estpaul i would leave them a week in those pots repot them and then flower them leaving a couple of weeks or a week minimum for them to re-root. looking good there. rebirth

they are a bit bigger now, ill try and get some photos to show you, im thinking of repotting in a couple of days, then letting them root up for a week and a half.

EP

Here you go guys so am i right, repot asap ( the roots are everywhere ) and wait couple weeks then put into flower?


Meet the ladies

repot and as soon as you see roots poking thru the bottom switch to 12/12 .. oh and by the way .. keeley is a slag so i've heard

Serious? ive got loads of roots poking through, their almost clogging the hole!! shit im going to b and q tomos.

And i love the name keely, Just sounds fit

EP

yeah they look ready for a repot. they will do nicely bud wise once they have established themselves in the new pots. as smegol said you can repot as soon as the roots show but i like to leave them an extra week to make sure they have a good root system. rebirth

all right that puts me at ease

sweet cab think ill be trying something like this for a nice hidden grow

Well i decided to switch them over to 12/12, as i am running out of room and need to decifer who is a male and who is a female, and they are really filling up my cab already, im really hoping for 2 fems, but the genitals are a bit foggy so ill wait till i get definite hairs or bananas

4 and a half weeks and theyre taking up a lot of space big girls are beautiful

Boy looks boy-like, but I'd definitely wait to confirm

yeah think so too, in the meantime gonna go out and buy some butter

Hows this doing now?
Just wondering if you managed to get a lady out of them?
Cool box btw
Edit...I'm also wondering how your temps are getting on now with the warmer weather kicking in. I noticed in March you were hitting 31 max, 28 min. You could do to drop those down a bit

fantastic looking cabinet hope you have a lovely crop. i'd be a bit careful with the fan silencer (that it doesnt overheat) though. probably my paranoia playing up ,unless its a 12v fan. peace'n'love
