My goal is to show people that to grow a plant you don’t have to spend tons of money and the bulbs I’m testing should be enough for a micro grow smaller grows always have heat problems because of the lights and that it’s always an issue when you growing stealth I been able to keep the temp and humidity dial the fans in the bulbs working out fine

Been running this box for a few years and now I'm building a slightly larger dual chamber stealth cabinet to replace it so I can run perpetual grow. Stoked to see this thing pump out some decent buds even though my yields have been small thus far. I just need to quit messing with the girls and just let them grow!

Goodwill find $10 jackpot Already wire light sockets already in the box when I bought it had to do a few mods For air circulation so far pretty happy it was supposed to be my veg box But is the gift that keeps on giving The bottom of the box is 28 inches tall so I put it to use and I’m flowering on the top
Hella cool

Decided to throw my hat in the ring here. I've been growing with screw-in LEDs in my micro cabinets for a little while and recently saved up to get a nicer light. Here's a soltrips sheet running at about 85 watts in a custom-built cabinet. Inner dimensions are 21"w, 16"d, 24"h. The plants pictured here all finished came out to about 80 grams. It was my 2nd time growing to completion in solo cups, and it was my first time with this light.

I'm hooked on micro grows now!

@q3corn That looks fun and quite convenient too.. does the plastic shielding covering the LEDs help with blocking radiating heat and allow you to have it closer? or just for waterproofing

Thanks!
I didn't actually build the light, but the way it's set up I believe the idea is more for water resistance than anything else. There's air gaps around the edges and a 40mm fan blowing out the top to cool the lights a bit.

Ok here's my propagator grow at the end of my 2 pot Green Crack clone grow, They both ended up in a trough for convenience. They are drying atm so don't know the weight i got yet,. They look and taste great though! Won't be going back to my 4x4 tent now i've come down to a 58 x 38cm footrprint with whatever height I want to extend to.
I can fill this little atmosphere with varying fresh air/co2/room air and heat from below and control it real easy with much smaller running costs. LIghting wise it's totally over equipped with two 1000 watt spider farmer panels that sit on the plastic prop roof (stopping radiating heat so the plants can get real close). Using these 2 panels on top of the prop is definitely overkill but they run turned down great and the power is there to go 90K+ lumens in flowering when I want it. Basically the power of my tent lights are now amplified massively in this new new smaller space..That would send the economy of a lot of micro grows out the window. Bottom line is i've got something the size of a dolls house pumping out high quality bud and I got a lot of space back in my room. boom.

This is my first post so dont come down to hard on me now.

This is a 13”x13”x36” custom built box made from 2x2s for the frame and cardboard for the walls and doors. Taped with aluminum tape for the corners for light proofing and hanging of the reflective material. 2 120mm fans at the bottom and the top of the back of the box.

Heres the box(its actually bigger but the remaining part of the box holds clones.)

Heres the plant under some brighter light as my flower light distorts pictures pretty badly.

This is my first "real grow with a good light" but I made a little grow box with one of those metal garage racks you can buy at lowes or any store like that. And put the mylar bubble wrap stuff onto cardboard to make the walls with. Also cut a hole in the bottom and out in small fan in the side up high I'm a noob for sure but my plants seem to be doing ok. I'm not sure of they are as big as they should be on day 7 though. Any input from experienced growers ?View attachment 4535791View attachment 4535799View attachment 4535802View attachment 4535804View attachment 4535809
They look fine my boy for 7days..in my experience not knowing your setup but as long as u have everything dialed in temps humidity etc especially your air quality in humidity during veg they will be gucci...heres a grow I'm in the process of
