I want to know of a odorless, soundless, lightless grow set up

[pmsskg]

Hey Guys, I haven't been on here in over a year since I moved from where I did my mk ww grow..

I am wondering does anyone have any good links to a dresser setup that is soundless and odorless, lightproofing is really easy for me...

and some kind of ability to extract the huge amounts of heat off my easycool6 400watter, but still be pretty quiet....


please suggest away

It sounds like youve got the light proofing down, and smell shouldnt be hard if its all sealed with a carbon scrubber. Although luckly for my I dont worry about any of that stuff, it smells DANK outside my house lol. The noise is another thing im concerned about too and soo far ive found no fan thats quite, my vortex on low is some what quite but not really ive heard good things about S&P fans im going to pick one up and ill get back on how the noise is.

If you wanted a super small grow muffeled computer fans might be pretty quite

400W is a lot of heat to remove from a dresser.

In fact, you'd have to have a huge dresser to run a 400W in it in the first place.

In addition, the smaller you go, the more powerful your fan will have to be to get that hot air out. Since stealth is obviously your main concern, you're going to have to use a good carbon filter. You're going to want a pretty powerful fan to pull through this decent carbon filter and cool your 400W.

In the end, to cool the 400W in a closed environment, you're going to need something to mask the sound. Complete silence is just not going to be an option with that much wattage in the space you're considering.

I vote with Quazi. You should be looking for a 150. Maybe a 250 on the outside. Start looking around the house for things to mask or pin the noise on because silence is NOT going to happen. Aquariums, stereos, white noise generators, computers can all be used to hide noise.

I don't think anything would grow in a lightless setup

Do some PF tek and get some Golden Teachers goin on in there!

That might even be a better idea.

I have heard the whisperline fan doesnt stand the test of time the S&P multiflow fans are the quietest so I have read. get a s&p with a carbon scrubber. and put a silencer on the end. get some darkroom louvers for intake with no light leak. Make sure to weather proof the door. the closet should bemade of at least 1/2" medium density fiberboard nothing less. If you must you can line the inside with the matting that goes under carpeting which comes in rolls at home depot. Then cover that with a white out pull down curtain or a refelective windsheild cover. But unless you can have a fairly large closet you really chould consider using 250 watters it will be easier in the end.

Carpeting section, moisture barrier. 120 sq.ft. = $12.

IME, the whisper fan doesn't stand up to staic ressure well. Pulling through the filter, it gets louder over time, and pushing through is worse in terms of noise. With my 80 cfm version pusing air through a 400cfm carbon filter, it got loud quickly, a lot because the static pressure caused the fan to run at speed all the time, whereas normally it runs at partial speed and only ramps up as pressure increases.

Unless this ore like a cabinet or wardrobe, the 400hps is not going to be something that you're going to be cooling quietly, those quiet is a relative term.

Listen to the people who are saying to mask the noise and not try to be completely silent. No matter how well you muffle, there'll be noise with the fan you're going to need to extract heat from a 400.

Remember, heat is your enemy, and as FB said, a 150 or 250 would probably be more appropriate for something the size of a dresser.

You could go for a water cooled light with several huge passive radiators. That'd be virtually silent but pretty expensive and fiddly.
