Lighting, 4 x CFL T5 Growlite 6500K & 2100K 250w HPS
PH 5.8-6.2 trying to remain under 6.0
House and Garden Hydro Nutes

Yield 6-10 ounce combined expected.
Light Schedule: 18 on 6 off
Experiance: Novice grower 2nd grow
Greeting's 420 Land, This is my 2nd grow the first one was a lesson in how not to use shit seed and to buy from a reputable seed bank.. I managed to somehow hermie 4 females, the more I analyze this the more I think of it may have been light leak I have my system off during the day due to our climate so there may have been some light leakage and again it was unknown strain and from a very seedy bush bud so more than likely not suitable for stealth cab growing
.... Hence why we are here today. My wife and I use cannabis for medical it has changed our lives, we have to purchase our weed from dealers as its illegal in my country and it costs me around $500 per month to be able to medicate so this purely for medication. This grow I have decided to do AUTO's for what I require it looks perfect I get to choose medication that I need and 10-12 weeks I have enough medication for a few months until my next batch is ready. This may be a long winded post but I wanted to show off my cabinet its a beauty I have spent hundreds of ours researching and built this from other peoples ideas and mistakes I hope you all enjoy the journey. I unfortunately lost the photos from the build but this will give you an idea on how the system runs.
The Stealth Cab
It sits next to a fish tank that makes a racket with the filter I have purposely screwed the air pump to the cab so it vibrates and detracts from the slight hum the cabinet makes. The cupboard is fully insulated inside with insulation and quite sound proof. All the doors except for the top access to electrical etc are all kept out of the main cab due to safety, heat and condensation.
The Rear
2 doors swing open at the rear to access the cab. The unit is on very good quality caster wheels so I can move it around, but kept low enough to the ground so not noticable.
Inside.
The inside consists of your normal goodies
For the start of this grow I will be bring the girls into the world under the CFL and switching to HPS when appropriate
So for propagation I use a $10 chamber and Growdan Cubes and ph 5.8 water. The pad you see in the pics is a C02 pad can create Co2 in enclosed spaces upto 1000 ppm an added bonus for roots growing fast.
I wash the blocks, place the seeds in the block put some water in the bottom and place a CFL 2100k light on the top for heat, if its cool I also place a heat mat under the chamber. So far using this method I have had 100% success method in getting seeds to start. Even though this is my second grow I have experimented with propagation so I would have the maximum chance with the feminized seeds. I cant just walk down the road and buy more and it takes 3 weeks to get them to me.
This is the result of 3 days in the chamber. Once the tap root comes through the bottom it goes straight into its forever home and will stay there until harvest. I do not need to remove the chamber from the cabinet as I have rigged up drain pipes and can flush the system with the use of $20 water feature pumps.
Here is the Girls with the Tap roots showing.
I remove half of the clay balls from the pot carefully place the cube in and fill it back up, it will only take a couple of days for the tap root to reach the water below.
I run 2 long air stones in the tank but the pump is not very strong so a new pump is on the shopping list when I can afford it.
Changing water is easy with a second bucket and a water feature pump, for the small amounts of nutes
I use I change water weekly that way I can regulate the nutes and ph more precisely.
Now in position and ready to become beautiful ladies. Sit tight lads and enjoy the ride I look forward to your tips and advice along the way
Some more cab pictures for you.
120mm Computer fan on the floor draws cool air from the cement slab and into the cab, this fan runs
24/7
Fill pipe with cover made from a boat rod holder with the bottom cut off
Water Level indicator
The drain plug made from simple out door irrigation tap fittings
250w cooltube HPS Growlush 2100k
The extractor fan insulated in the cab with high density foam
Timers and safety switches, 4 in total no fires in my cab !!
Computer Fans are great for getting air circulating around your cab I use this above the ballast to remove the heat build up in top of the cab.
High density foam is excellent to work with and has great sound proof properties.
