Hey !
I realize this is probably spam !
but I have just worked my ASS off for the past 3 hours putting together my first "stealth box" !
I am definitely going further with this stealth box idea as soon as the need arises but tonight is a big achievement for me
I had some problems before with when people came over, it only happened once so far (but Ive only had this going on for a week and a half now) so I had to quickly take down my entire setup and hide the plants in darkness for 28 hours, which they really didnt like !!!
So tonight I took the idea of "stealth growbox" quite litterally and made a neat stealthy box out of 2x cardboard boxes pleeenty of duct tape, 2x 60 CFM 140mm computer fans and a hell of a lot more cardboard !!
the setup is tight and not very convinent, it is hard to get to the plants since my 250w cfl with a reflector is straight on top and I have to remove it to get to the plants, but temperature and humidity so far is fine and there are almost no light leaks to the OUTSIDE of the box, this wont work for flowering but since Im only 1 and half week done it will do fine during the entire veg period since even though its small I plan to LST so space isnt a issue !
the fans are super quite, I was surprised when I plugged them in, you cant really hear them unless you know they are there and any sound will overpower them.
Now I will just wait for my plants to pick up the growth, I recently transplanted them into big pots where they will be for the rest of the grow and I dont have to get a panic attack everytime I think someone is coming over
No real point to this post other then posting in pride, sadly I dont have a camera to share the greatness but working on getting one so I can start a proper grow diary once I start flower !!
Thanks all, this wouldnt have been possible without these amazing forums <3

Growing in cardboard is bad enough. Suggesting it to others is inexcusable. Please! DO NOT grow in cardboard!
