Jumbo Stealth Grow

[badgr]

mrgrowmez, I'm at an apartment. Thats crazy that you went through all that work only to have to store it away. Do you have pics of it on your profile? Cool news on the job hope it works out for you. I'll be growing away so just keep your eye on this thread. My scrubbers are in the washer/dryer hvac/ water heater room. SO i'm the only one who goes in their but their is allways the off chance that some matience guy would stop by to check the A/C filter or something and wonder what in the hell is going on. I could have them ontop of the cab but it would heat up my room and mix the intake air with the exhaust not to mention the air scrubber sounds.

 

[badgr]

DO any of you think my cab is well enough insulated to block PoPo heat guns? Or should I play it smart and order some Poly Shield first? I'm only refring to the flowering cab.

 

[Lucky 7]

You R quite handy, badgr . . . very nice project . . .

 

[NorthernKronic]

Badgr, Damn just got through reading your thread, Sick! Mad props for all of your effort. I was thinking of going the way of the cab, and i think that you have given me a very good outline to follow. From now on, count me as subscribed to this thread!!

 

[mrgrowmez]

i dont think you'd have to worry about heat guns, not on such a small scale....i hope. as for pics i've got some in my gallery but the closet is in another walk in closet so its impossible to get a picture of the whole thing!! ive got pictures of parts of it etc you'll see if you look at the gallery.....
really sucks so im making up a good picture in googles' free sketch-up prog. ill show you once i finish it.
no idea to help you woth the scrubber dilemma. i had the same issue about venting out into the same space as you get fresh air from so i talked the girlfriend into letting me cut a hole in the wall and now vent into the hallway, out side the walkin closet.


it vents out over the top of another closet behind that suitcase, so you cant see it but you can hear it a bit. i just pass it off as ventilation hehehehehe

good luck and ill be watching from the internet cafes while im over in Amsterdam trying all the strains ive seen grown on this site.

Badgr! cool looking scrubbers and you say they work well too? Exellent.
as far as hiding them the stelth way i'm sure you will come up with something, you always do.
how about some kind of overhead cabinet that looks like extra storage? you could hide them pretty well and have easy access to boot, put some extra stuff inside and your stelth again.
i've got a dozen seeds started so we'll see how well they go.
keep postin! and as always....be cool

 

[badgr]

Lucky 7, thanks man. Glad to see you like the setup.

NorthernKronic, Right on man hope your project works out nicely. I'll be keeping and eye on your posts to see what's going on. Peace

mrgrowmez, Real stealth setup you had. If you have odd fan noise just but some sort of room fan or pet air cleaner to mask the sound and make people think it's for something else. Thanks for the ideas. I'll post some pics when i stealth out the scrubbers. Hope to hear from you while your on your mad adventure. Good luck man. I think you may be right about the heat guns but when i'm running 2 400whps that may need protection.

Sloppy Seconds, Good to hear from you again. The scrubbers work great. I only had to redo them 4 times to get it right but oh well. Better than giving up when I just had an ok scrubber. I'll be watching your seeds. Good luck man. I'll def be able to stealth these bad boys. I'll post more soon.

My mums are getting out of control. They need some clones clipped and fast.

 

[badgr]

Well I did some cloning yesterday. I am no expert yet so i figured I would only cut a few to keep deth's down and to see what method of cloning would work best. For now I went with peat pods and just dipped the branch in some water then that rootomem or whatever it's called. Seems like they are doing better today then when they were on the mother?!

 

[Sloppy Seconds]

your right the clones do look good, i used the peat pellets to start my seeds and they worked great.
they were older seeds but i got one White Widow, three Skunks and three unknown bag seeds for a total of seven growin good.
i have a small cabinet that i'm using to start them in and will move to the "grow room" when they outgrow the other.
i cant believe how fast they have takin off! in eight days the root were growin out of the pellets and running along the bottom of the propergator tray! so yesterday i repotted to the next size container, about 4inches wide/tall.
i'll be curious to see how fast they become rootbound in this size, but i'm ready to repot to the next size when needed.
say Badgr how long do you veg? i know in your set-up space will always an issue so i suppose your veg time is short, just curious.
sorry i cant post pictures but i'm not able to at this time due to lack of a camera that works and dont want to on this computer, but i'll keep you informed just the same.

good luck fellow Badger fan...how about that mens basketball!

and as always....be cool

 

[badgr]

Go Badger's!
Sloppy I didn't know you had an actual grow room! Must be nice.
I'll proubly be veggn' my clones for 2 weeks or so in the top chamber then toss them right into 12/12 for 3+ months and see what happens. That's the plan but we will see how well in works.
I wish I had white widow to grow. I bet your's will turn out real nice.

Here are some more pics of my newest batch of clones + the 4 old ones. I also topped my mother's to start my bonsi theme.

Your Cabinet Grow Is Amazing!

Your Cabinet Grow Is Amazing!

Please update this as much as possible, I want to grow myself bad but I will also need to use stealth like you. Keep on doing your thing man I look forward to completetion!

 

[Sloppy Seconds]

yea, i have a grow room it's 6ft x8ft but has never been used! crazy i know.
i have split the room in two, one for veg and one for flower.
i have a 1000w MH, a 400w HPS, two 100w HPS and seven four foot flouro's.
the small cabinet i made is 12in deep, 18in wide and 2ft tall with 3 100w twist flouro's to start seeds with. not too bad eh?
the real problem is with the wife, not too happy about it, but i'll work it out.
anyway the small sprouts are growin great so i'm looking forward to some cool buds.
this is kinda my second grow, the first one i nuted way too early and burned up seven White Widows and seven Skunks....not to brite, but live and learn.
i promise to be more careful this time.
i bought Fox Farm grow big and big bloom, ever use them?
keep me posted....be cool

 

[badgr]

NOTE TO ALL: The cost of this project is above 4000$$. Mostly all the small parts but its all good. Just incase you were thinking about building one.

 

[Sloppy Seconds]

Cha Ching!!! i dont have anywhere near that into mine, i guess around $1200 but i havent addressed the odor issue yet because it hasnt happened yet.
i built a ozone generator to use but the jury is still out on if they are good to use or not, might need to build the scrubber like yours.
i have plenty of venting options so i'll cross that bridge when i get to it.
when you factor in the "high" cost of buying weed and of course the risk everytime you have to find a "dealer" it just makes good sense to grow, the real trick is to keep you mouth shut and your grow secret.
i heard a story about a guy who had a grow going and showed his "friends" well those same friends tried to steal his finished product and a fight broke out which brought the cops...guess who went to jail.

just some words of wisdom....be cool

 

[badgr]

Isn't that the truth. I have't told but a few friends but I allready regret that. I guess it's up to them to stay cool. Your so right, When people are told some elements (like their gab) are completely out of my control. They are my bros so I guess It's all good. Scarry though. I guess I better not burn any bridges with those fellas. U made an ozone creator? I think i saw something about making one of those with 2 glass jars or something on Overgrow a while back. Seems kinda dangerious.
Scrubbers work great but i'm still not sure how long they will last. I also haven't tested them while flowering and everyone knows how smelly buds can get. I'm sure they will continue to work great.
Later Buddy.

 

[Sloppy Seconds]

Yea, danger is my middle name...Sloppy "danger" Seconds.
it is the same ozone generator your talking about, with the two glasses.
i made it a while ago and have used it for diferent things and i got to say it work pretty good, plug it in and in about ten minutes the whole room smells of ozone.
not sure if i'll use it for my grow. we'll see.
checked my plants this morning and they are kinda brown looking... i think almost no humidity is doing a number on them...i put a vaporizer in the cab and will check tonight to see if it helps. i'll keep you informed.
enjoy the superbowl with a SUPERBOWL of something smelly!
later and as always....be cool

 

[badgr]

Still waiting to finish the bottom chamber. I don't want to do it before I get some poly shield to hide those 400w HPS lamps from the po po. I am just working on keeping everything alive and in the thrive for now. Check it out. I'm about to run out of smoke again. Man I hate it when that happens.

 

[Sloppy Seconds]

Man i suck at this! killed them all again, i'm sure it was way too dry and they died.
now i need to order some new seeds and start again, this time i will set-up everything perfect and maybe get some results.
Badgr, yea it's lame when the smoke is gone, it happens to me all the time.
give me an update on your flowering stage...then you can do some braggin about the excellent smoke!
later dude...be cool

 

[badgr]

Bummer, I broke one of my pyrex cool tubes while working on the flowering chamber yesterday. Made some good progress though. Sealed up the wall front to back top to bottom. Double insulation and foil layers and in some areas triple thick.
Things left to do to finish the flowering chamber.
- Cool Tube setup, Brackets and Light hanger with mounts.
- Wire the Dual 400w HPS lamps
Thats it!

I'm all ready thinking of all the cool mods I'm going to do to this cab. Key less 500lb Magnetic stealth locks. I'm going to go with the Growtronix system to automate everything. CO2 and other things. Very exciting.

Did some work on the mothers and clones. The mothers are doing pretty good but I need to do some test on their soil. The clones seem to be creeping along. Not growing very fast at all. I went ahead and removed all the lower leaves etc... They seem to be perking up ok.



P.S. If any cops are reading this, You better be cool otherwise suck a nut. I hope We can get this legalized soon or at least de criminalized. Peace

 

[smokeymacpot]
