STeAlth Cabinet ideAs wtf? blueprint/pics

This Cabinet With the layout in the attachment

plan on putting between 2-6 plants in this thing in 6 inch pots for the whole grow the plants will finish less then 2 ft high so i didnt think i needed as big a pot.... i plan on putting 2 holes in the side 1 fan intake at bottom one carbon fiber filter exaust at top inside ill have some kind of lighting set up... havent looked into the details... between 2-6 bulbs ? cfl or something with a mesh net under for Scrog growing option to keep the plants nice and short the cabinet is already white so no need for reflective foil or paint on the inside .... other then that i plan on light proofiling the wholes.. putting flaps on inside of doors and vents to keep light from escaping.. and ofcourse the final touch ill try to install a lock to keep my little laddies well hiden

sound like a plan or no ? im looking for opinions/correctoins/tips/addons... i have no experience so im just trying to get a basic plan with everything covered... odor should be manage'd light is concealed fans should be wisper quiet anyway and looks like a compleatly regular cabinet... there's the stealth aspect... on the other hand the plants will have plenty of light good ventalation only problem is ima have to keep em super short ( less then 2 ft high) so ill keep a short veg period till there about 8-12 inches then move into flowering ? where they should double there size ? to keep it on the safe side... after all this is worked out ill hammer out the details
( soil light strain )


i have a few concearns ....
one is Will the Smell Be CompleAtly Hidden with THIS
two is would white widow be a good strain in this small area.. it has a very good reputation so i fuigre itll be a good plant to start with'
third im not to worried about cuz this is a small setup .. but how much electricity would this thing suck up ? anything noticable ? i dont think a few small lights and a fan would matter that much even if left on.. considering our house has several computers/pool/tv's/radios/ac/window ac a bunch of other useless shit that prolly takes up 10x as much

then one question.. how much do u think i can get outa something like this ? with say four plants at around 2 ft......lets say white widow to narrow it down alittle more..

welcome to the forum again?? You are on the right track. Research like this can actually be fun. Kinda like bein in a school with no authorities.
2' of height, in my opinion, will not be enough to do a good job with WW. I had a couple of widows in my first large grow. I had plenty of height, 10' ceilings, and I had read that messing with the plants does not increase yield so I let them grow. The wet cola weight was over 100 grams. Plants finished at 39". BY the second time around I had read information on topping, fim, lst etc. Sounded cool. I had 8 colas on one plant. Wet cola weight for all 8?? 67 grams. BUT man, did it look cool. You do not increase yield by doing these things unless you increase the time to harvest.
You need to have 3 1/2 to 4' to do a decent job with widow. When figuring height remember, subtract the height of the resevoir, the height of the lights, usually about 1', and the distance the light must be from the plants, with cfl's that isn't much. If you still have 3 1/2' widow will do fine. Here's a few widows. VV

ha yea i hear that.. i was never very good in school , but hey im planning on 3 ft total.. i alreadi subtracted the 6 inch pots and i gave 5-6 inch for the lights so that leaves 2 feet for the actuall plant. from stem to top branch... if u dont think thats enough room then do you have another suggestion ? mabe misty ? or some type of
NL hybrid ? ( mabe white russian once i get some experience ) and im using the scrog to give me that time u were talking about.. if more of the plant is down then it has more time to mature in that 2 ft area

why not lowryder2

idk so far everyone seems to have a bad opinion of lowryder so i fuigred i'd go with something i know i wouldent be wasteing time on

I think that cabinet is a bit too shallow. The description said it was only 12" deep. If you absolutely had to go with that one, I would buy 2 of them and brace them together front to back with some metal pieces. Just don't put the doors on the back one. But really, you can find some other cabinets that are a bit deeper.

yea see thats one of the problems... its very hard to find a good size cabnit..... this is pretty much the only one i found close to the size i wanted and under 300$ .. if u know where to get a good one feel free to share

hi you should pick a different strain,
i recomend sugar babe paradise seeds,
these plants are great for first timers and can stand quite a beating ,
they are an outdoor strain but are great for indoors too,
i would grow til 1.5ft then flower to give you 0.5ft for your plants to strech.
you could expect 4.5-8 oz per plant if enough light is received.
pm me for further advice if needed

if your going to be putting them into flowering relatively quikly you should get the 105w 27k cfls they put off 6900 lumens a peice theyre 30$ a peice so it would be a waste to get the veg bulbs if your just going to flower them real after 12"

so just go strait into floweing lights ? will that slow growth early ?and how many lights would i need for 2-4 plants.... isnt there a higher 6k one ?

Man that is a super looking scrubber; I gotta get me oneuhdem.
