Hey all,

Here's a couple of shot of my latest grow cab. I'm up to version 6.0 now :smile:

Grow area, 3'w x 2'D x 3'H
Inside i've got 2 150watt HPS bulbs in homemade air cooled reflectors. The lights are counterbalanced so I can place them at just the right height with ease.
Above, I've got a 50cfm extraction fan, along with the ballasts and timers.

All buttoned up it blend in with the rest of the basement pretty well. I have a few more details to add to it, but you get the idea.

I'm working a perpetual harvest, each is 2 weeks apart.

These are transfers from my old cab - it was smaller and it was having heat problems.:?

As the cycle continues, I'll be transitioning from my existing pots up to 3 gallon sq pots, growing in organic soil with michorrizea (sp?) addatives.

Thanks! :mrgreen:

The plants are only about 10 in. tall - though from tip to soil it's probably more like 18 in. , I use wires to keep all the branches down low and in an even canopy (LST).

In this new cab, I'll be able to let the plants grow a bit bigger - both out and up. I'm hoping to double my current average of about 1 oz every 2 weeks. Maybe more!

I'm going to have 6 - 3 gallon pots in there. Each will have 1-4 plants in it, depending on how large the clones are. I'll be able to harvest one pot every 2 weeks.

The airhoods cost me all of $2 to make. But then I have a pretty nice workshop and access to some pretty nice metal-working tools :mrgreen:

Yeah, but if they go into flower when they're only 8 inches tall....

Last year I put 3 little girls into one 5 qt pot, each gave me 10 grams.

I know what you mean and I would normaly never put more than one plant in one pot. But I went to my friends house and he grows and he usually ends up w/ about 3 females in eat pot. the pot is prolly a 5 gallon bucket but wider and a little shallower. I told him in the begining it wouldnt work, but he got all the plants to full maturity... so it can work

That is tight shit, reall stealthy, it opened up my mined to new ideas for a stealth set up, i dont get why it looks so damn big on the inside, at fist i was like wth, hes has a picture of a grow closed and some random picture of a shelf with a couple of boxes, but then i took a closer look, haha, nice man, thats crazy how it looks so big though

Thanks for the props everyone!

I'm pretty proud of it myself. I had a friend (and fellow grower) of mine stopped over to see it - he walked down to the basement and stood right next to it and said, "OK, so where is it?"

I guess it passes the stealth test. :mrgreen:
