Need feedback on my indoor ideas

Hello!
I've got plans to build a stealthbox since I've read that not even the closest friends should now you grow (illegal here). This means I can't use a premade tent.
I live in a one room apartment with a walk in closet, in there I have a small space where I can hide a closet behind my clothes. the space is somewhat limited and so is my budget.

I've found these:

http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/catalog/products/10205534/#/20205538

It's in swedish I know, but under "storlek" you can se the size: 60x37x100 and 60x37x60
This gives me a veg/blom space and a clone space. As you can see on the pictures they are ikea kitchencabinets so they should be easily modifed and worked with.

For lights I've though of using 2 55w PL-L tubes in the cloningspace. A PL-L tube is kinda like a T5 but U-shaped if you didn't know. And This in the veg/blom space:

Maybe even add 2 PL-L tubes in there aswell?

For ventilation I've found this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/carbon-filter-fan-kit-extractor-100mm-inline-4-grow-tent-set-hydroponics-/331822324099?hash=item4d4226d983:g:ukQAAOSwo3pWcZ-6

This is one of the most important aspeccs of the stealth part so any feedback here or tips would help. Have anyone tried this carbonfilter?
Im going to use a passive air intake, going through both chambers (using pvc pipes not to get light leaks) and a small deskfan for blowing on the plants.

I was thinking about using two 15litre buckets and doing a DIY DWC system for the veg/blom chamber. Allowing for 2plants in a scrog setup.

For the cloning chamber I was thinking about a small bubbleponics box or something. Allowing for four clones?

was thinking about these seeds:
https://www.nirvanashop.com/en/regular-marijuana-seeds/760-blue-mystic-regular-seeds.html

For their small height and lack of smell. But I've heard you can get seeds free on forums?

Anyways thank you so much for any help or feedback!
Cheers

I'd stick with reliable seed companies then forums. Save you some time and less of a chance getting a Hermie or a Bunk seed.
Get a feminized seed, instead of waiting to to see what sex your regular seeds will be

Alright, I will stick to reliable seeds instead.
I've heard bad things about feminized seeds though, heard they have some hermiequalities? - dont know what that means though

It seems like i always hear conflicting info lol. I had feminized seeds and turned out fine, "Hermie" is a plant that is both male and female, so if you see bud pistols and seeds(pollen sacks) you have to throw it away or carefully remove the pollen sacks.
I think its more the pheno type then the actual feminized seed that will have Hermie trait.
Take this with a grain salt, im a noob.
highly recommend doing more research on the strain you plan to get.

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. And remember anyone may have a well-known member status…but that means they have posted and responded to many threads and does not always mean well-educated growerz. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

Do a search using your current question as the keyword(s) and ZOOOM!! Like Wonka's Great Glass Elevator…off you go to tons of threads answering all your questions. Read all the Newbie Central stickies and learn…

Soaking up all that information and sifting through it, is going to take time. You will likely finish your first grow by then. Viola! grow complete and education well under way.

In all the growz I have ever done except one I have used feminized seeds...never a hermie. I did 1 grow with a couple of bag seeds...both....of them...HandF.jpg

I second $bkbbudz$, Ive not grown hundreds of strains but all the strains I have run have been feminized. No problems with hermies apart from one time and I ran clones of that seed for a few years and in those many clones I had one hermie. So I wasn't the seed or genetics, just something I did wrong.
I don't want to shit on your ideas, but the last place I would want a grow is where I keep my clothes! If your going to do that then make sure they are all your old clothes you don't want to wear and keep your real clothes well separate.
In a stealth situation its harder to eliminate smell completely and living in the same environment you will not notice the smell as much as the guy who sits next to you on the bus will.. A bit like that lady down the road who has 25 stray cats and doesn't realise she stinks of cat piss.
Have a look at the stealth cabs you can buy pre made and the stealth section on here to see what can be done. The bought ones range from a pc tower to a massive drinks cabinet with hidden section. I like the idea of a PC tower because nobodys going to suspect a fan running in a one of those.
Good luck with your research and welcome to RIU!
