Hey guys this is my first grow journal but i thought it would be a good one since I'm using led lights which seem to be working awesome. I took a dresser and ripped out the interior, I then screwed the drawer faces to a piece of plywood to act as my door.
I have two chronics growing from serious seeds, this strain seems solid as they are growing pretty nicely.
Originally i was using a fluorescent tube for the first 3 weeks of veg and then switched to a 180 watt jumbo illuminator from Prosource leds. The plants seemed to love the switch as they grew quite a bit after the switch. Since I actually ordered 2 90 watt leds (they sent me the 180 watt by accident) I switched yet again so i now have one 90 watt led per plant. I considering sending the 90 watters back instead though since it seemed like it was much brighter but also a bit louder which I don't like since its a stealth grow. Alright enough talk heres some pictures!
I took the top of the dresser off so i could remove the drawers without damaging anything. That way if i need to i can revert it back into a dresser if someone suddenly discovers its not a dresser
half way done screwing the drawer faces to the plywood
Here i took two of the drawer supports and screwed them underneath so the flimsy bottom would support more weight
Heres the plants at about 3 weeks right before i switched to 180 watt led. Im using hydroton to keep nats and mold from getting to the dirt which is working great
here they are a day after switching to the two 90 watt leds and also a day into 12/12. I started lst'ing them last night as well, couldn't find a good enough net to do scrog so this will have to do this time around
Thats all I have for now but the pics are up to date as of last night and Ill keep you updated every few days or so depending on my schedule. I also plan on adding Mylar and a couple PC fans for circulation but other then that everything is going as planned.
As far as smell Im still a little undecided as to what Im going to do. I dont want to add my big 400cfm fan as that thing is huge and very loud so I thinking of buying something around the 50-70cfm range with most likely a home made carbon filter, any suggestions as to what i should do with that would be appreciated but otherwise if you have any questions for me fire away Ill try to answer them as soon as I can.
Happy reading

About to add my homemade carbon filter just need to decide on using my 400 cfm fan with a speed control or to get a smaller quieter fan somewhere. Hopefully by next update ill have it in place.
