I am moving into a rental and I need a way to quickly hide the grow or move it out of the house in a hurry. I plan on building a completely self contained grow box on wheels to make it portable in case the landlord comes over.

I don't plan on posting my build unless there are other people who are interested so let me know.

My goals are:

1. Portable and small enough to fit in my vehicle upright
2. Can be broken down and moved in less than a minute
3. Will be completely airtight so no smell will escape
4. Have a battery system that will turn on a light and fan when power is disconnected from the outlet
5. Separate fan with charcoal filter inside the box to reduce smell while closed
6. Possible CO2 release while sealed, plus a small pressure relief valve to reduce pressure inside box
7. If heat is an issue I will build a sealed heat transfer device
8. Build it with off the shelf parts so anyone can build it.
9. A slide out shelf for the plant for easy access

Dimensions of vehicle? How do you plan to lift this thing?

 

[mk23tas]

I already found a suitable box and it's about 38h x 24w x 24L. It's not going to be a huge grow but It will be portable. I think the entire box will weigh around 50-70lbs, which is quite easy to lift.

You could gut a mini-fridge. That would be air-tight, and has some routes for ventilation, and easy access with the door. Just put a latch on it for more security.

These?

I looked into a small fridge but I found a large waterproof tool box that's a lot cheaper. The tool box is $80. Plus I don't have to rip it apart.

Good find, post a pic!

You've got to upload some photos of this creation. I want one.

Call it the "Grow-Away"

 

[mk23tas]

Ok as soon as I get all of the materials I will start working on the "Grow-away". Catchy name

I finished the box with 300W of grow lights, a movable shelf, and a fan. I plan on building a separate box to house the blower and filter. But for now I can use the box to grow! The box can be moved in less than a minute if I need to.

A good carbon filter appears to be in order.

I like your idea, although I would go larger if I built something like that. No landlord to worry about, but stealth has it's appeal (grand kids).

 

[HiDaze]

Well done! Cant wait to see it in action!

Fantastic job my man !!!!
Love the mini fan and spot lights...

It sucks that I have to build something this small but the size is important so I can fit it inside my car. If I had my way I would put a massive green house in the back yard.
