About six months ago, I became sick and tired of the shitty, over priced weed my regular dealer was selling me. So much so, that I decided to get off my ass and finally do something about it. After much thought and planning, I've finally decided to take the plunge and start my own stealthy indoor grow. I could have easily built a room and concealed it in my basement, but for a number of reasons, I decided against it. After a great deal of searching, I was lucky enough to find a used, oversized fridge for a very cheap price--free--, and started modifying. I installed a 1000 watt HPS with an air cooled hood. I figured that if Caroll Shelby could stuff a small block V-8 Ford in a small British AC two-seater roadster, then I figured I could stuff a 1000 watt HPS inside a fridge, and make it work. I then installed a powerful Hurricane fan to vent the light, and a 6" muffin fan to vent the veg chamber. After purchasing a 300 CFM carbon filter, I installed it into an aluminum garbage can that I bought @ Home Depot. I then mounted another fan on top of the garbage can to draw all the stinky air from the veg chamber, through the carbon filter, and into the cold air duct of my furnace. I then suspended the entire garbage can from two joists with some tie-downs. I found that this helped to supress noise and vibration.
I decided to go with a aeroponic hydro system, with a seperate 60 litre nute resevoir, attached to the outside of the fridge. I had 3 seperate air pumps powering 2 air stones oxygenating the H2O in the nute resevoir, and a long 48" air tube in the resevoir inside the fridge, oxygenating directly to the roots.
For genetics, I chose Misty and Papaya from Nirvana, and Bogglegum from BOG Seeds. All the Misty's turned out to be male's and got the knife. Only one Papaya turned out to be a female. My one lone Bogglegum turned into one beautiful monster of a indica. In the end, I harvested well over 275 grams from the Bogglegum, and around 130 grams from the Papaya, both dried and manicured. Here are some pics.
