Damn It! My little girl didnt make it. Gonna have to order some new seeds and wait forever for them to show up. Any ideas on what Kind is a good pick? I would love to grow a strong indica but i dont want it to smell really strong when growing. I have a small carbon filter but dont know what its capable of yet. This is the first carbon filter i have owned.

I feel your pain.

If'n I was in your shoes, I would order a batch of autostarts. Easy to grow and quick to harvest. Then that would give you some herb while you grow your fancy girls.

BTW: I've enjoyed following your build, sorry for not rep'in you earlier.

+rep that's a great job you did man, keep up the great grow

Well..... This has been a very dissapointing time for me. I built this beautiful cabinet and had to break it down and put it in storage I quit my job and moved out of my appartment. I now live in a place where I couldnt possibly think of growing. I have recently quit smoking (about six weeks ago) to be able to get a job but the job I am holding requires alot of technical skill and random drug screening. I just want to get back to my old fun habits. I make a ton of money doing this type of work and all my friends say im stupid for not wanting to do it. I get to travel all over the country and see really amazing places all expenses paid, I also get $40 a day for food, and im paid portal to portal (Front door of my house to where ever im going). Why is this lifestyle that I have held so important that I would consider giving up a great 50K a year job?!?!?!? I love growing and smoking!! I think I like the growing even better than the smoking. I enjoy creating something beautiful out of nothing but a little seed. I will post a few pics so that all of you can remenisce with me. The first couple are of my White Widow. I grew her in my spare bathroom at one of my old homes. The last few are of the stealth cab I never got to use I know some of you out there will feel my pain.

Living a day with out my set up isnt living at all!

Just read your thread and love your cabinet - it's a crying shame you're not using it right now! If you're getting urine tested, there is always synthetic urine (Qwik Fix and others) that work fine if you follow the instructions. That still might not help you out if you can't grow where you're living...

Was curious what you used to make your cool tubes - is that a couple bakearounds or something else?

They sell what is called hurricane glass at Michaels craft store and bought some rubber pipe reducers from Homedepot. I own Synthetic but it would be to random for me to just always carry some around with me.

Thats an awfully pretty cab you got... if you live north of the 49 I will buy it off you

What an awesome looking armoire. I love the retro look of it with the angles. Bigbud do you know the manufacturer of your cab?
I want to try to find one. It's really beautiful.

Keep your chin up Mike, I am researching moving to a Med State just to be able to light one up in peace.
Take Care

My heart is filled with despair.... My beautiful armoire sits in a storage unit collecting dust. I have moved in to a situation where I am unable to utilize my creation. I have actually even thought of selling it. I havent grown in over a year and it is very depressing. I actually avoided this site for a while because everytime I get on here I get the urge to grow even though I am not in a situation to be able to. BOOHOO

Sorry about your situation.

How did you make the cool tubes?

Those were made using some Glass tubes that they sell at Michaels craft store. I bought some Plumbers tape (thin flat metal) and bolted my lights to it then wrapped it around the outside of the glass. The rubber pieces were bought from homedepot in the plumbing section. I used Zipties to hold everything together even though the fittings were really tight on the glass. Works pretty good for what I needed.

So I have been working on this new cabinet for growing in my Apartment. I should have took some Pics before I tore the cabinet apart, so everyone could have seen how much I already did. I bought an Armoire off craigslist for $45. It was a great deal. When I picked it up the guy said "damn it my wife sold this for only $45" He was right because every other one I saw like this was about $150. It is made out of solid hard wood and its pretty big. I removed the shelves from the upper and lower section. I sealed the doors in the front using metal brackets and liquid nails from the inside. I left the lower doors free for checking the fluid level of my power grower. I also painted the inside of the Cab with flat white primer. I lined the bottom with a water proof liner. I made and installed two 150w HPS in a homemade cool tube. I was having trouble with my temps so I went to the hydro store and picked up a 170cfm 4" centrifugal fan and I also installed a carbon filter. Here are some pics. let me know what you think. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it better please feel free to let me know.

I wish it was a stealth grow but for the time being the cabinet is in storage waiting for the right time and place to be put into action. Thanks anyway though. I put alot of time, money, and man hours into that cabinet and it is going to be perfect once I get it up and running.

When they pop a random UA, do you have to piss at work, or would they send you to a clinic? If they send you to a clinic, have a good friend with clean piss on stand-by. A nice crisp $100 bill usually helps motivate friend to be ready to piss for you at a moment's notice. So just stop by your friend's on the way, have the piss in a cup, suck it up with an old visine bottle, rinse it off and keep it tucked under your arm pit. Also keep a little stash of bleach with you in your desk (or whatever) at work at all times. Worse case, a little bleach under your finger nails dipped in piss cup or however you want to do it will ruin a test.

I have used the friend method to get high while taking drug tests for the court for 6 months.

u did a good job i was having the same issue with my closet space thanks for the idea

Not sure where this came from but since on the topic, I use the synthetic piss that you buy online. It has a really long shelf life and you just keep it with you at all times. I comes with a little warmer that is good for four hours so you can just pop it on there and 30min later you are ready for the test. Its kinda funny but I quite smoking about a year ago. I woke up one day and realized that I hadnt smoked in a couple days and decided to see how long I could go and well..... I will hit the bowl with my girl every once in a while but not everyday or even everyweek for that matter. Maybe right before we go to see a funny movie. I am still very passionate about growing though. Cant wait for the day to come when im able to start up again. I will probably start smokin again too. Its different when its your own creation in front of you.

No prob.... and thank you!

You said something like you can't grow because of work and I assumed it was drug tests but nvm.

All good. I used to use someone elses piss but never tried the bleach before. Heard it works, the last place I drug tested made me wash my hands first though.
