Hey 420 community!
I'm gonna be starting up my first stealth indoor grow and I could use some thoughts/opinions on my grow box I'm making.
I'm converting my dresser into the box. I'm gonna Take the dresser drawers out n remove the bottom n back piece of wood off all of them (so that the plant can grow in there) but keep the side pieces that run along the track n the front intact so that I can put the drawers back in so it just looks like a normal dresser. (yes it's gonna be anoyin puttin the drawers in n out when I work on the plant but it's a sacrifice I'm willin to make for stealthiness.) I'm gonna paint the whole inside white if I got paint layin around somewhere, if not I'll just cover it in mylar or tin foil. I'm not goin high tech with any CO2 or air scrubbers etc... I'm just gonna keep it basic n simple for my first grow...
I pretty much got everything figured out n ready to go except the flow of fresh air into it... I'm not sure how to achieve this without having light leaks because I can't install anything a) expensive b)that gets rid of the stealthiness of it atm. Can someone please help me out with this?
Here's some brain storming iv been doing...
During the dark period of 12/12 flowering when I know oxygen is really important I can schedule it for night so it will be pitch black in my room n then I can open the top drawer a bit n that should solve that problem right?
But during the couple hours of dark 12/12 period in the mourning when the suns commin out, I'll have to close it n keep all the light out n during all my light periods I'm gonna wanna keep all the light in so I'll have to keep the drawer closed.
During these periods the only idea I have is getting some black plumbing pipe n drilling a hole in the side of the dresser noones gonna see.( That side is a corner n is right shaded n dark even when my rooms lights are on+ i could shade it completely while making the tubing stealth too) I'll attach the piping so it come out about an inch or 2 then 90 degree n head towards the ground a couple inches long. With how dark it is in that corner n the 90 degree angle I think that should do the job right? I could even do 2 or 3 of em for better flow but they'd all have to be on the same side because it's the only side I could find a way to hide n is shaded. Then I'd have a fan inside right infront of the tubing holes so that it's suckin air from that direction n blowing it on my plant to exercise it n make the stems strong plus circulate the air.
I guess my question is will this idea A) keep light in/out and B) allow air to be circulated well? (maybe I could put the pipes on the far right n far left of the same side n have 2 fans. one sucking air in on the right n one blown air out on the left?.... I'd prefer 1 fan just sucking air in if it will still ventilate good enough tho but I don't know if air will make it back out the pipes well if there's a fan sucking air in infront of em)
Thanks for your time n opinions.. Can't wait to get my grow journal goin, n I can't find a strain review on here for the Nirvanas Blue Mystic I ordered so I plan on doing that too when it's done
