I want to take care of my personal consumtion... I've realised it is my single biggest expense, and the single best solution to not supporting criminal dealers and smoking exactly what I want...
*I smoke about 1,5-2g per day so every 3 months I need about 200 grams
*for personal reasons I want to grow only 2 plants.
*I want to seal the growbox to have some control over odor and to boost bud production. I plan on using a CO2 system but will live and sleep in the same room. It must be really secure...
*I will use 1 300w HPS lamp with a cooltube and add some additional power with some HV LEDS of the exact wavelenghts.
*My babies will be grown in a DWC system with added topfeed line, I'm thinking about going organic... but we'll see
*I will try to do some LST - two plants on SCRoG; with the sceren in a more of a V shape to allow for more growing space...
I'd like to at least grow a sativa dominant plant if not a pure sativa... I much prefer the high.
Any ideas or do you see any potential problems?
My biggest worry is the CO2 system... Does anyone have any experiences with closet grows and CO2?

Sounds like you want to do pretty much exactly what i've done for similar reasons. Check out my journals for some ideas. My cupboard sits in a corner of my room (which i sleep in), can hardly tell its there. Unless u knew what was inside u'd never be able to guess. Its small-ish, i'd say the size of a normal wardrobe, but perfect for 2 plants, no more.

From my past grow, my advice would be to really plan out how you're going to go about ventilation and air circulation. Although these have been improved since my last grow, its still not perfect.

For my next grow i want to rebuild this setup to make it the ultimate stealth grow cupboard. My idea is to have air intakes running all the way up the left side of the cupboard instead of just at the bottom, and have the extractions running up along the right side of the cupboard, so the fresh air will have to go through both plants before being extracted. This is only feasible due to the location of the cupboard, with an exterior wall on the left and a chimney on the right.

This way i can have a separate ventilation system for the hood/cupboard, allowing me to control co2 levels with more precision. Pretty sure u need something like this for a co2 system to run efficiently, otherwise all the co2 goin in will be extracted straight back out.

Main problems i had when using a 400W MH/HPS was keeping the heat down in such a small space, so watch out for this. (see the super lemon journal for more info)

Anyway if u need any advice or ideas gimme a shout.
