i posted this in the LED section as well but I saw this section and figured it was better for what I was looking for...

okay so im about to start my second grow, money is not a problem i wont to get this grow right!
i can't start it until after July 4th and won't start it until i have the perfect stealth LED grow. by stealth i basically mean a lightproof/soundproof cab.

i have ordered the following beans:
5 Fem. Greenhouse Seeds Super Lemon Haze
8 Fem. G13 White Widow
1 Fem. G13 Og13
1 Fem. World of Seeds Legend, Mazar Kush
1 Fem. Barneys Farm, Critical Kush'


and I have the following:
1 Fem. LowRyder 2
1 Humboldt fem.
2 Bagseeds(blueberry haze)
Mylar
a bunch of decent sized pots.

I need everything; nutes, soil, buckets(possibly 5 gAllON?), fans, carbon filter, grow space(think stealth), and lights.


I have four 44 CFM silent computer fans from my last grow..

leaning towards two 240w Blackstar units, plus some CFL's(i already have the cfl's)

i want to harvest anywhere from 2-4 oz. anymore i would not know what to do with myself, i currently havent medicated in over a month and won't until after i grow, maybe. lol

i was thinking i'd start the LowRyder 2 under a few CFL's and about 3 weeks in add a 240w Blackstar and one of my photoperiod strain, thinking the white widow since it's a short flowering period. When the LowRyder 2 is finishing up I will start vegging a Super Lemon Haze in my CFL cab, add the 2nd 240w blackstar for side lighting(in the flowering cab), and turn the LEDs to flowering the G13 White Widow and add the SLH when ready..

thanks for the positive reinforcement..

i was thinking about using FFOF soil and FF nutes b/c i've used these before.. i have enough time to order nutes and soil online though so my question is; are these nutes the best for their cheap price or should i get more expensive soil/nutes. i also want to mix some perilite in with my soil, what else would you or anyone reading this recommend? I have until about july 8th.

edit: so i found a cab i like, and here is what i drew up for the blueprints. (changed to a 500w BSLED b/c of width of cab.

hey guys, my blueprints are constantly changing lol. what do you think of growing in this cab.

i like this one b/c i can use it for more than just growing my buds and im really just looking for the most stealth way to do this b/c people may end up in the room and as long as they can't hear it won't be a problem the thing with this is if someone comes in i can actually use something like a drawer or the smaller cab. and they wouldn't think anything of it.

doubt anyone will actually be in this room though. especially while theres a plant in it

Using a prefab cab would make stealth easier for you, unless your a good carpenter.
You'll have to do some work on the cab to attain a light tight condition, weather strip latches or locks, etc.
A passive intake for ventilation is fine in a small cab. A carbon filter is a must for stealth. With the cab shown the shelf in the large area is fixed and needs to be installed this way to keep the cab rigid. But you can cut in holes for ventilation and install a carbon filter and exhaust fan above the shelf. You should still have enough head room to run a 250W led, that should be enough light for the space.

If you are an advanced carpenter or cabinet maker, I got a plan for an insulated stealth cab.
