what up? this is my first Stealth Grow/Journal so any advice is greatly apreciated. Here is what i got so far...
Grow Room- I picked up this old dresser at a local salvation army for $20. Brought it home and made it into my own little grow room. the dimensions on it after construction are 16" deep x 27" high x 38" long. To build this i just took out all the drawers, knocked out all the sides of them. Perminatly installed the bottom shelf face so it can not be removed, but it looks like its on. Next i made the top and middle drawer all one piece. Made my own little hinges with nails to hold the middle drawer in place. Then i attaced the top drawer to it with some hinges. Now to get into my dresser all i do is fold down the top drawer, reach inside and unlach my nails and take off the entire top and middle drawer. I sealed it all off with some Great Stuff insulation spray to make it light proof.
Lighting- Right now im just using lights that i already had. From what ive read they seem to be ok for now. Ive got a 65watt cfl outdoor flood light that puts out just about 7000 lumnes and a 14" "plant light" that i dont know any specs on. I dont have any reflective material in the dresser right now, but i plan on getting some Mylar soon. Not sure what light would be best to upgrade to when the plants need it.
Soil- Just regular old Scotts general potting soil in party Solo Cups (with slits in the bottom). I plan on transplanting them in to 3gal buckets with Fox Farm Ocean Mix once their ready
Air Flow- Just a regular small 6" fan with a clip on the end to angle it where ever. Soon i plan on installing an intake/exaust fan
Seeds- Like every stoner out there, sometimes you get a sick bag of headies that has a seed or two in it. Well ive been saving these great seeds for about a year. I germinated 9. 1 is a strain of Kush, 5 are Diesel Berry, and 3 are unknown. So im not really sure what to expect. I just know that they all came from some bomb nugs.
Plans- Since its such as small grow area, i plan on doing some LST with the plants once they are old/strong enough. From what ive read and seen about LST it seems to match up with my opperation.
Here are some pics of what i got so far. Let me know what you think, I will be updating as much as possible so stay tuned...

pic 3 - Both bottom and top drawer removed

Let me know what you think!
