Is it possible, and how?

coolman1a · Mar 12, 2008

Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me out with this, I have a closed wood cabinet with the measures of 26" length, 12" hight, and 16" depth. I plant to turn this into a stealthy grow room. Its my first grow and I was wondering if i could grow 1 or 2 plants using the LST(low stress training) method. If so how many cfl lights and how many watts should use for veg and flowering? How many pc fans should I use for intake or exhaust? Is it really "nessesary" to use nutes or fertilizers? What soil should i use, or am i gonna be able to set up a small hydro system?

Thanks for your responces I hope I can grow some good bud and keep in mind that this is more of a personal grow and experience and i dont expect a big yield :blsmoke:

probably just soil for now.you will need nuites eventually and depending on the soil u use.
Veg for probably 3 weeks before flower
LST would work real well for that low of a height
for 2 plants ,maybe about 6 23watt CFL....3 (6400k) 3(2700k) k=color temp of the light
you would just need one 6 inch for intake and 1 for 6 inch for exhaust

Good luck on your first grow!!!

I hate to tell you, you seriously need more than 12 inches in height. By the time you set your light fixture up within that grow area, you potentially have taken up half of that space. So, now you have 6 inches to grow in, how tall are you going to let them grow before flowering them? Three inches? Now you have another dilema, the bulbs are starting to burn the leaves, I say with impunity that cfls will burn the plants. Try to find a way to bring it up to about 36 inches. That will give you more to work with and make life a hell of a lot easier, and you can actually enjoy growing this, and not always having to fight something. And possibly in the end you have a decent reward for your efforts.

it can be done in 12 inches, your plant will usually look like its laying on its side in mid air.

i dont think its worth it with 12 inches. you might yeild a quarter of airy cfl bud at best. not trying to hate. but 10 weeks to get a quarter. all that time and work. coulda just spent 100 and got a dank ass quarter. just my opinion
