My Stealth Closet Grow!! Must See!!!! #2

Ok so sorry to everyone that was following this grow i accidentally deleted all my pictures so i am re-posting this grow....
My Stealth Closet Grow
Ok everyone I am starting a closet grow built out of rubbermaids....i got this idea at least a year ago when i saw jethros stealth grow found here https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/15124-jethros-stealth-cfl-closet-build.html I also got a few ideas from this guys grow too http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=31605 check out both of those sites they did a great job. But here is my list of materials

• 2- 45 gal/170L rubbermaids ($18 a piece)
• 2- 4" computer fans from best buy ($16 each)
• 1- roll of duct tape ($2)
• 1- 4" exhaust ventalation found at home depot ($5)
• 1- 4 socket bathroom vanity light fixture ($20)
• 4- Y cheater sockets ($3)
• 4- cans of spray paint 2 black/2 white krylon paint for plastics ($5 per can)
• 8- 43 watt CFL's, 150 watt equivelent bulbs 2700 lumens a piece
• 1- emergency blanket from wal-mart, its made of mylar very good reflectant ($2)
• 1- can of elmers spray adhesive
• 2- shoelaces off of old pair of shoes
• 1- Container of active carbon from the pet store found in the fish department ($6)
• 1- pack of 6 reuseable clothes ($1.50)
• 1- 12V used to wire the fans, found on old electronics around the house
• 1- roll of electrical tape
• 1- board from an old shelf to bolt to the top of the rubbermaid for support to the lights
• 4- bolts with washers and nuts any size that will fit through the wood and lid

Ok first things first were to paint the inside of the rubbermaids black so that the light doesnt shine through the bins and then white over that to reflect as much light as possible. Then cut the bottom out of the top bin and the lid out of the bottom lid so that it is hollow all the way through, then duct taped together so close any gaps. Then i cut holes for the exhaust and fans....one fan blowing in on the bottom and one fan mounted right on the exhaust blowing it out the tube. I lined the whole thing with emergency blanket cut to the right size and then using spray adhesive attached it to every inch of the inside to help reflect as much light as possible. I had to also cut 2 more exhaust vents on top to help keep the temp down inside the box.



You are going to use your 12V plug and do a little surgery with your cords but they will work. I have 2 thingsd plugged in for this grow, the lights and the fan plug that is it. On the top i have two screw in hooks with the shoe laces attached for the lights, makes it easy to lower and raise the lights when needed. Also with the active carbon from the pet store i spread out the reusable clothes and basically made a few teabags for filters with them and stuck them in the vents....one on the side and 2 on the top.

Active Carbon From Pet Store


Hooks Holding Shoelaces Tied To Lights

OK now that i have all that together i got a good start with my plants....i have a buddy that just harvested his crop on the 4th and i got 3 of his plants that i am going to re-veg.....you do this by leaving some buds and a few leaves on the bottom and it will grow back, saves me time with cloning and now i am guaranteed females, they are Sweet Tooth and Dutch Passion i dont know exactly which is which but that's what they are. So here are a few pics of what i have started.....These are the same day that they were cut for harvest so it is gunna take a few days for them to recover and start growing a whole new plant.

The watering system is made from clear 1/2 inch hose, it is wrapped around the base of the plant and it has slits cut on the bottom part of the tube all the way around so that i can water them from the top by barely opening the lid and pouring the water down the tubes....it waters the plant evenly all the way around the base...works real nifty and came up with that when i was really stoned Its going to work really nice for when the plants fill up the whole bin and access to the base of the plant is really hard to get at.
Day 1 December 4th

how did u connect the fans though lol thanks again

Are you trying to reveg those?

Ok so i took some pictures today, they are showing alot of new growth but im pretty sure my lights have been a lil too close because the top leaves are looking fried, i moved them back and hope they recover well.....

Chris ya you are going to have to cut the plug off of the fans, cut them as close to the plug as you can so you have as much wire as possible....you want to leave the red and black ones coming out of the middle of the fan...those are the ones that need to be hooked up to your wall plug. But no you need both ends of both the fan wires, red from both fans and one of the wires from the plug connected, then both fans black wires connected to the other wire from the wall plug....i had to use another speaker wire to get them to attach because my fans are not right next to each other and the wires coming off the fan are not long enough to connect without an extension (speaker wire ) hope this helps

got it man i just did it i need some speaker wire also im going to go pick some up man thanks a million cant wait to get it all set up and i hope i get my seeds... hows the grow need to add some pics whenever u get a chance thanks again

The most recent pics right before that plug one are ones from lastnight jusgt to give you an idea of how they are going

chris you ever get your fans to work????

mate,i will make this system .my english is not so good,please help me.
i have a question,look at the picture please:



on this picture, ventilation tubes a,b and c blow air out of the box.
however, ventilation tube d,blows into the box.
it is correct ?

ya that looks correct

yeah that second one looks like it wasnt given much of a chance TO revegg looks like it was clipped a lot shorter than the other two.

Are you just growing these ones out to make a mother or are you gonna try to harvest these

hey fishindog thanks for asking and yes i got the fans working and the lights all i need to do is hang the lights and wait for the seeds to arrive hopefully by monday they get here... your ladies are looking good man pretty bushy keep it up...

speaker wire is not the same as electrical wire..could cause a fire
