Minimum height for stealth

I'm a newbie wanting to build a stealth grow box, but i'm fairly limited on the height. What would be the bare minimum I could build one in? Also, would it be possible to mount the heat/light source to the side of the plant? I'd appreciate any help on this

i wouldnt go smaller then 4 ft. A large dresser works nicely. The size of the plants depends on the strain and length of veg. If you only grow indica plants they are shorter. You can also top them and use LST to limit height and maximize the harvest.

As far as lights go side lighting is always a plus for undergrowth but you need a sun in the sky above. Indoor growing is basically just trying to simulate the ideal conditions outdoors.

LST = low stress training <- click for more information..

i mean, you could grow in a 2ft tall box..
but, you will need more space..
depending on how much you want to yield..
also, you will need some ventilation for such a small box..
the heat will get trapped in there like boning a chick under a mink blanket..

but, you COULD do an LST grow, with a 2ft tall box..
so, you should look into the link i provided..
read more upon that before getting started..

EDIT: have you any pictures of the box you wish to use?

Cheers for the link, i'll give it a read. I haven't actually got a box as yet, but the space i have available to hold a box will be about 2ft/2ft/2ft. If growing in a space this small is going to be a problem (bearing in mind that this will be my first ever attempt at growing), i might try and find an alternative location.

i think you will be fine with that space..
if you do an LST grow.. you will only need the height for later..
when you flower & grow all those colas.. ;)

good luck :D

go with the circular LST.. it's much shorter..
you will only worry about the height later in the grow..
since you're only bending & slowly turning the stem along the pot..
also, a picture of what you're going to grow in would help..

i still think you can grow decent sized buds..
just think of it this way, if you use a 5" pot..
it will be much more smaller than a 10" pot..
the guy in the LST 101 grow, used a 10" pot..
he had a shit load of colas.. so, the smaller the less bud..
but, you would be able to utilize your space much more efficiently..

good luck man :D
