Hi all, I’m new to all this so take it easy boys. I’m about to start my grow soon. So with this I wanted a stealthy grow closet. This is what used to be some office cupboard that I bought at a second hand store. It’s taken me about 4 weeks on and off to put this thing together. Let me know what you think.

looking good spycatcher

what ya gona put in there then?

f-h

so that's what darkvaders wardrobe looks like
looking good spycatcher so what we growing?

Thanks randomhed, i have 4x3" computer fans. When i start the seedlings off and some into veg, i plan to put, what was one of the shelves which is currently lying in the bottom of the closet above the 125w blue spec CFL light. This way i can maximise the light reflection. Because the rest of the closet will be closed off if i do this, i will just turn 2 of my fans around to allow full circulation of air. When the plants have established themselves it then that they will be under the 400w HPS.
As you can see i have a cool tube, but inside i placed 2x 3.5" computer fans. This has been done only to help keep the temps down. I only have a 4" extractor fan. This was not powerful enough on its own to get the hot air out hence the fans.
2x 3.5" were placed on the sides of the closet to help with air circulation and strengthen the plants

I’m not to sure what I’m going to grow yet.Kinda had my eye on bubblegum. Any ideas anyone??????

Great stealthy grow spycatcher. Can i ask you wot kind of power source you are running your pc fans from. I just wired mine up to an old 9v remote control charger. Dont wana use this for to long because of overheating. Just wanted to find something better.

Cheers.

I used one of these.

Found at most cheap hardware stores.

Top looking "Drobe", you put together there.

Top job there mate those cool tubes look the biz. Is that diamond mylar you are using never tried that yet.Those computer fans should easily keep the air fresh as there will be no heat thanks to those topclass lights.

shit man thats fukin ace very well put together i love it !
i wish you the best of luck bud

very nice first set up and proof that reading up before you start will pay off do you know if its fully light proof? i was told sitting in it with the doors closed and lights off for ten mins is a good way to test it as a light leak when they should be asleep can cause hermis


Good luck with your ice.

BH

id like to see you squeeze into a cupboard that size

it works the otherway as well, if high wattage lighting cant get(turn out all lights in your room so its pitch dark) out then chances are normal room lighting wont get in

High all,
Wow thanks for all the comments guys, it's really has taken me by surprise. This is only my 2nd attempt at growing. So after my very piss poor first attempt, i decided to go back to the drawing board and came up with what you see today. I must admit that i never wanted to spend allot but got kinda carried away with this build. Total cost is about £450.

Buddin Hippy you mentioned light proofing. Well i put allot of thought into this. The Drobe has a roller shutter(step1).Inside are more doors that are screwed closed (no catches or locks) for a tight seal (step 2)
On the actual doors themselves, i stuck that draft proof tape around the edges (step 3)Again on the inner doors i screwed on a inner door frame to lay flush with the outer door framing(step 4) On the inner door framing i sealed with some bathroom sealer to be sure(step 5). For the intake i used an old cereal box, cut to size and shape, painted inner side with blackboard paint and fixed into position
So with all these precautions i can safely say the box is light proof.
As mentioned before about getting carried away with this Drobe i installed a min CCTV cam so i can watch what’s going on without having to disturb them too much. Great idea at the time i though but realised that any basic TV decoder (sky) could pick up the signal, so that was short lived.
This has been a real labour of love for me, as I’m crap at D.I.Y. The only thing that has been keeping me going is the sweet reward at the end. Going to put pic's to try explaining

I also made a sound buffer which works really well and is easy to do.Only took me about 30 min to make the whole thing and install
Material uses:
Dukting
Pizza box
Loft insulation( cotton wool will do the same i imagine)
Gaffa tape.

One more thing. Because the fans were unprotected with fan covers. I cut to size some fine fabric and fixed in place over the fans. This is to stop the fan leafs been chewed up
