Hey ya'll. This is my first grow and im pretty enthusiastic about it. The problem is, i live with some tenants in my house that will throw me out if they find a grow-op so stealth is key.
So check out my design, it may be small but im only growing one plant (2 small ones, but ill donate 1 when the box cant fit 2) BTW! The box is structured out of wood al-throughout, the cardboard is just a masking.

Feel free to comment, im noob at this shit so any advice would help


So this is what you see when you face the closet. Not bait at all right?


A closer look


This is my security system lol, there's one at the bottom of the box too. It may not be much but its only purpose is to keep the doors shut and keep the light from coming out


The PS3 box acts like an adapter to the grow box and moves air up into the flexible pipe seen on the right


The pipe moves air into my attic, which might be a concern to most of you, since there is nothing but insulation there so it can cause mold, but the attic is has at least 3 vents directly connecting to outside air so i dont think its such a problem.


Lets peek in...


BAM...


Top of the grow box from the inside. The vents move air into the PS3 as described before. They are 3 of the 5 used, and yes they are pc fans powered by a cell phone charger


So here is the set up...very nice I like


This is the length i took to make this project stealth, not only is the box well hidden, but the powering of the box is also done stealth. I took off the baseboard along my wall and stuck a extension cord in there and sealed it back as if nothing happened.


So ya this is my operation...is this stealth or what:ninja

It's a cool set up fo sho bro...it takes some real clever thinkin to be stealth enough to hide from people living under the same roof...on that note, you don't think that wire coming out of the baseboard and plugged into the powerbar is gonna raise questions with the flatmates?

Ok will do.
I also had a question about humidity. Right now its sitting at 40-45%, is this low. Different guides give me diff answers so im confused. Im guessing it is b/c the foilage is rough and fragile to the touch, and da texture is dull

Temperature is at 25-28 C or 77-82 F and stays consistent. Ya i got a safe system goin, all wired up legit.

Here is some progress on the plant, dont have pics earlier than day 9. THe plant that im growing is KC-36, so it should produce a decent yield given the limitations of the small box.
Average yield is 175 grams indoors, gonna deff plant outside when its warmer since it yields almost a kilo, thats 2.25 pounds/plant!

Day 9




Day 12


Day 14


Day 16
hehe..



these things are growing pretty fast

But here are some questions:

is this anything i should be concerned about? (im talking about the spots on the leaf)


and is this indication of a female? or is it too soon to tell?

your question regarding whether or not your plant is female or not, it still to early to tell. I wouldn't worry about the little spots either, unless it gets worse. Keep us updated. Looking good so far.

I give him props.. Looking good man, i wonder if space might be an issue unless you know how to keep it under control other then that they are moving pretty quick.
