Should find yourself another box to grow in. Could even do a big speaker box. Or deck out a cheap standalone pantry/linen closet.
My minicab is only 1 square foot wide and barely 3 feet tall. Yet that still gave me an amount I was happy with.
Don't let your friend's problems stop you from doing what you want to do.
Hey Nugachino thanks for the support. I actually moved out with my girlfriend and we live in a triplex now. I did fininish a grow with the same PC. Now I'm looking into doing a cab or even mini cab. I'm going to get some seeds started along with making repairs on the PC case today to start start growing. I have missed it quite a bit. Although the PC is really cool, I feel like I'm getting cockteased because I know what I can do in a nice sized cab.
Here is my issue #1 Stealth, gotta make sure it looks inconspicuous and no smell what so ever. We don't have central air which is good and bad. Good because my air won't flow into this apt. Bad which takes me to #2 because the AC takes so much just to cool it off that heat may be a big problem on top of that #3 do I how with cobs? Spend the extra money but also lose height. I'm looking into a HID bulb for the cost, but just concerned my box will over heat.
Do you have any tips? How do you keep your mini cab smell free, right temps light?
