I just had an idea for a 4-8 plant flower/grow chamber mod. I don't know if anyone's mentioned it before.
But I'm sure someone has, here it is.
Say you had limited space for stealth, but you felt the great need to seed. And you didn't want to have to
worry about having to cover up any stray cords from leading into vital, conspicous areas. And you didn't
want to be paranoid about the constant energy drain.
What you could do is:
1) Turn off the lights in rooms when you're not in them.
-aka- Stop being a scaredy cat.
2) Invest in UPS. Uninterrupted Power Supply. Usually confuser (computer) people use them
for safegaurding their private systems/files, from experiencing any ill effects if any
sudden power loss or disruption may occur.
*Note: Tech types usually only mention this to their boss in times of need in order to look good.
Or when it's time for a raise, and it makes for a decent time wasting project.
Anyway.
Now how could UPS, help me?
I'm glad you asked. And the answer is. Daisy chain. Yes flowers tied together.
Nooooo! You fool! Daisy chain! The art of tying together smaller less powerful
attributes, in order to achieve a more powerful desired affect.

What the whole plan is this. Say you want to add an additional area to your current grow/SOG/Scr0g.
And this area/box will just be used for a 2-6 plant flowering expansion (12/12POWER).
Basicly, you just want to be a little greedy, and you're still a little paranoid.
What you do is 1st. Invest in at least 2-4 UPS's. Two days before the morning you plan
to put the plants to flower, begin charging the UPS's one at at time. The whole idea
behind this is to draw the power at a slow rate. Stop, draw again, stop, and so on.
Also, you will now have a portable battery pack, and outlets, which can now power you concealed
mini-grow. Of course, now you have to remember to change the battery pack every 6-8 hrs. But now
you can stop stressing about the power issue,and a portion of the concealement debate.
Now you can get more creative.
You can even mod your rubbermaid or growbox. How? You can create an internal battery slot.
By creating a false bottom and adding a slot on one of the narrow sides of the case. Make sure
that if you do cut it in a way that you reclose it.
By doing this, you can now store your contained rubbermaid, growbox, where ever you feel like putting
it. Angle it however you want. Without having to worry about covering up more wires, and thinking
about the constant power draw.
I think that this would work best with a small contained system, where the light can be lower wattage,
closer to the plants, smaller fan system, 12/12 light power drain, and then stacked in the back or your
garage.
Major run-on. Wheeeewwwwwww.
Set your flower night to your night, this way you don't have to stress changing the battery so much.
At your bedtime plants go off, leave the last battery on. Before you leave, you change the battery.
A few hours later, the lights come on. You get my drift. I'll leave the rest of the thinking to you.
Hope this wasn't a waste of time, mine or yours. Hopefully this helps, or at least reminds people.
If this technique is currently being employed.
