I have been wanting to grow my own for a while now I finally got around to it.
Currently I have 4 unknown seeds germinating but I will purchase better ones as I investigate which ones are right for me.
Building Details:
- Used old wooden cabinet 75cm Long x 75cm wide x 38cm deep
- Mylar (I used a large stapler to staple it onto the wooden interior.
- Wood strips for lamps
- Drill screws etc..
- Four spot lights
- Electrical wire + wall plugs.
- Four small wheels
- Power strips
- Small sponge to place under the pump for vibrating sound reduction.
Grow stuff
- 3 Inch grow pots
- Four Sylvania 25 Watt ( Says it equals to 125W) light bulbs 6500 K - 1450 Lumens - E27 socket
- Four Sylvania E27 25 Watt ( Says it equals to 125W) light bulbs 2700 K - 1450 Lumens - E27 socket
- Active Aqua Hydrofarm Air Pump 2 Outlets
- Submersible Water Pump 250 ( for 25 gallons )
- Two 2 x 2 x 14 Air stones
- Small 6 inch ckip on fan
- Timer
Nutrients
- Rapid Rooter Plugs
- Recipe for success formula
- Lava rock - Need to get hydroton or similar.
I basically first covered the interior of the cabinet in Mylar with a stapler and cut any edges out with scissors. I then drilled three 3 inch holes, 1 for electrical and 2 for air floor. I also added 4 wheels to the cabinet for easy roll around I may need, it also made it easier to work with since its heavy.
I grabbed one of the wooden strips and covered it with mylar and connected 4 spot lights directly to the wood. I also did 2 electrical wire connections one to each spot light. I choose the spot light since it was easier to move and direct light towards the plants. It's not hanging but this made it easier to just stick up there.
I put the cables so they all came out from the same side. I directed these towards the back and guided the cables with strips towards the bottom so they don't get in the way.
I'm using 2 spray painted tubs with 2 cups but I may change that to a bigger tub and add a water pump for more water movement.
I stapled mylar on the top of the tubs, however I left extra space that serves as side panels for more reflection from the bottom up. Hope this works!
Added a small hook in the back for the electrical cable to hold it while I roll it around when needed.
Terrible stealth Mode!
Still Pending:
- More stealth, light & pump sound.
- Fans for airflow
- Screens and light leakage from 3 holes.
- Purchase correct type of seeds
- PH Meter
- Co2
I'm not done yet and still putting things together but this is what I got so far. If anyone has recommendations im happy to hear!

I will try first and if not I will just change over to soil.
