So thought I'd do a mini journal of my stealth grow. This is the first time I've ever grown anything so big learning curve on everything!
First off my space! Approx 4x3 ft, old cupboard I bought from a charity shop for £10!
Lined with reflective radiator backing (in hindsight this may have been a mistake as it's fairly thick so insulated and I've had over heating issues so I don't think this helped! A thinner material may have been better!)
I went for CFL's as my space is limited, budget limited and HPS or LED's from reading would have created even further heating issues!
So I have 2x 200W dual CFL's, and 4x 45w CFL's. Although only using 1x 200w CFL whilst in veg. The others will come on when I switch to flower.
I have a 4-inch intake black orchid fan fitted at the back as my intake fan, and a 4-inch 100mm exhaust fan at the top with carbon filter. Plus 2x clip on fans.
With those running I can keep temps between 23-25c with 1 light on or with everything running I can keep it between 26-28c so a acceptable temp.
I'm growing 2x Candida as it's high in CBD+low THC. And 1x Auto jack plant
All female so I don't have to worry about that atleast.
Took me a week or so preparing the cupboard as it involves a lot of drilling! Cutting holes and sanding!
If it wasn't for needing to be stealth I'd def buy a tent! So much easier.
I'm on week 6 of vegging now with the Candida, the auto jack I've only just planted but I'm in process of building a stealth pc tower to put that in later as part of a present so will update more on that when finished.
Soil: Biobizz and bought there nutrients to go with it
I'm lucky where I live my PH levels are already perfect so I don't need to adjust them
Will add some photos shortly of the setup
