Lo.
I have a chest of draws which is 2'Wide x 1'Deep x 3'High. I have one red 125w envirolight from theorganicgrowshop.com for £46 (they now cost £40!)
Iv got an 88mm pc fan running on a 9v dc adapter extracting air from the top.
I cut the draws off so that they only push into the box 4", thus maximising space.
I made the light reflector myself, with alot of help from my old man (Official DIY King 1985-2003) using painted white wood.
Iv got some draught excluding tape to block out the light leaks with some varied success. Im also using folded over duck tape around the inside of the openings which helps alot.
my temps are 30c with draws shut and 25c with draws open. I need to make a 120mm hole for air to get in, but the fan is doing an ok job of extracting. I need a small oscilating clip on desk fan to stimulate the plants and move air around the box.
im growing 2 ak-47 plants, 2 skunk#1, 3 BBxNLxAfgan and 3 bush (from my summer grow which turned hermi) I recon il only have room to flower 4 plants but having more means i can afford to make mistakes.
Here's a pic from outside:

if it cheers you up a bit, I know there's been a lot of bad press for enviros, but can assure you they really do work well - I necked one of the sisters of this month's budshot I sent in just over a week ago - it needs another couple of weeks "in jar", but it is honestly the strongest home grown I've ever tasted! (Doublegum £14 for 15 seeds at Glasto) -it has left me totally wasted for a couple of days. The original plants grown under hps were ok, but nothing special - clones grown under the enviros look so much more healthy, and I've never seen such crystal formation - and the potency is just - wow! - I may be wrong, but I suspect red "enviro" is giving out a much wider spectrum (and more "natural" light.

)

Yeah I agree with Farmweb,
The enviro is defo working for me, My BBJ is resinny as hell, but it is growin kinda slow

I'm putting that down to the cold though
If you've got 4 plants goin in it may be a good idea to put in some complimentary lighting, I've got an energy saver bulb in mine just for that little extra boost
Hope you can get us a pic soon mate
Take care

I'm well happy with my enviros.
I popped 12 Dreamtime seeds into soil 9 days ago, only 6 germed but they're already showing the grow tips of their 3rd set of adult leaves.
They've been under the enviros for only 6 days now. (I have 2 x 125w, blue).
They only sit under 1 of the lights but I have the other swithed on.
This is MUCH faster growth than I saw under the HPS.
A very wothwhile investment.

Think i burnt my plants yesterday

and they were VERY thirsty. the leaves had started to curl up and point towards the light, a couple of em got burnt. they'd gone about 30 hours without water which i thoguht theyd be able to handle by now. obviously not. drier than a dessert they were
i raised the light today and gave em all a jolly good watering. looking better but some of the leaves are still pointing upwards, feeling dry and slightly curled still. il keep an eye on em.
OT has very kindly offered to post my pics up. i emailing them to him right now.
stay tuned enviro lovers!

Hey Rocky,
Lookin good there m8e
I've just realised that your stealth is very almost the same size as mine which is 2.37ft w X 1.25ft d X 3.33ft h. I've only managed to squeeze 2 plants in there

Three may have gone in at a push but then they would have been starving for the light.
Have you got a mom room in mind yet? If you are gonna do a seperate veg/mom room then I would start designing it now before it gets to the stage "oh bugger, I've ran outta room with no where to put em" (this is what happened to me anyway

)
Good luck bud and if you wanna see my stealth then you can see it
HERE Sorry for the crappy pics but I've not got the money for a digi cam
Take care

I know you asked rocky, but I only just saw your post I can't look at every post on the board, just happens I was looking throught the threads for pics for decembers COC and saw your prob and had a look on the server.
Servers like any computer have to have the right name so it can find things, and there is no directory/folder called uploads on the uk420budshots server you have to use the same folder/directory name you uploaded to is all.

ok, here is the long awaited update.
iv now got 1 SK#1, 1 BBxNLxAfgan, and 3 bush plants. all of which are in their 2nd week of flowering. Iv removed 2 male AK-47, 2 male BB and 1 male SK#1.
The reason i think they're all turnin homo is cos their isnt enuf light or ventilation with 10 plants in such a small place.
Now you all know wots wot, here are the pics:
rocky
Jan 8 2004, 07:35 PM
The 1st pic is the BB, which has been tied down to reduce its height. This has worked very well because all the lower branches have caught up in size to the main stem.
havin trouble uploading some of the pics, so this will be a few of wot will upload.
rocky
Jan 8 2004, 07:39 PM
.......
fuck knows whats wrong with this. all the pics are under 50k, theyr all low quality, less than 550px in width!!!
i dont click other things while im uploading. im on a different OS and web browser than the last update, and im still getin the same dodgy upload prob!!!!
Im gona make a movie when the grow is finished. Iv filmed small clips of the plants at different stages and il edit them together with sum beats and effects. Il also show some of the consumption too

lo.
id put pics up more regularly if i thought theyd actually upload. i will continue tryin to update tho.
iv repotted them and tide them down because im running out of head room. couple of the buds on the skunk got burnt

iv also had to remove one of the bush plants cos there just isnt enuf space for 5 large plants in there. so thats on the window ledge. the 3 males are in the conservatory atm because im gona plant em in the woods in spring. The other 2 males i gave to my grandad yesterday, and in the gr there is 1 sk#1, 1 BBxNLxAfgan and 2 bush plants.
lookin nice are the buds so far, especially on the BB. They'v just about been on 12/12 for 3 weeks now.
any1 know a decent video editing software package i can get for free?
