Noob Question... How Much Space

kingcannabis434 · Feb 20, 2016

Okay guys so I am thinking about attempting an indoor stealth grow, I just don't know if I have enough space. Money is kind of tight so I can't really go get anything else if this won't work. I have an old dresser I was thinking about converting into a grow box and the inside dimensions are about 1.5 ft deep by 2.5 ft wide by almost 3 feet tall. The only way it would be worthwhile for me is if I could fit 2 plants in this space. Do you guys think this is possible? I would be growing autoflowering varieties from Fast Buds. Really looking at their blackberry and northern express right now. Any input would be great. Thanks guys!

So would you recommend LST? I've grown before but it was outdoors and I just kinda let them do their thing. I've never done autos or an indoor grow but I've heard mixed reviews about training autos.

Currently got 6 week old Fast & Vast and 2Fast 2vast autos, 1 of each, as well as an oil filled radiator in a chest of drawers 15"deep x 28" wide x 32" high. Damn tight floor space in there, but I have LST both of them and they are both growing quite happily. Under 9x 15w led bulbs (more lumens than CFL but less heat)
I won't lie, growing stealth in a small area isn't easy, but you learn a hell of a lot, fast. Even if you give it a go and decide it isn't for you, it will benefit you long term.

Do you use a carbon filter system? If so did you have to build it externally? And how many fans do you have in there?

I have an internal carbon filter I made myself.
Basically an A4 sized 2" deep box. Cut holes in the 2 biggest sides, covered them with wire mesh and 2 layers of carbon cooker hood filter. Filled the box with about 1.5" of activated carbon from a grow shop. Jigsawed a hole in the cab roof and put a 150cfm 5" PC server fan I had as an extractor on the outside. Stuck the box to the inside roof, it only uses 2" of my height and even though the PC fan loses a lot of cfm it still moves enough air to keep heat down and no smell. Put a long rectangular box over the external fan which acts as an exhaust and also disguises it.
Inside I have 4 PC fans aimed around the cab to give movement and 1 PC fan blowing directly on the lights. All wired to a phone type charger. Learnt how on here.
All of my knowledge came directly from here, it is only my second ever grow and I am still altering stuff, but read the stickies and use the search button and you will find loads of helpful posts.
Good luck.
