Guitar Amp Grow

So i have this old bass guitar amp sitting around thats decently big and i'm looking to grow in it without anyone knowing. Before i even start i have a lot of preparing to do, which i would appreciate some help with!

I have 2 sour diesel seeds and a blue dream seed sitting around. I'm thinking i don't want to try either of those because they're taller plants. So i decided i'm going to order some feminized nirvana bubblicious seeds based on everyone elses success with that strain.

The dimensions of the actual empty growing space inside of the box are 19"w x 14"d x 18"h. I've removed the speaker and will cover the hole up with a removable piece of wood to keep light out and thats where i'll be accessing the plant from. The question is, is that enough space to grow? I plan on doing LST, or i might scrog it. suggestions?

my suggestion get a bigger grow box..
Bro your not helping this guy. Ppl grow in fucking party cups and pc cases. He has enough room, he's asking for help utilizing the space he's laid out, not for anyone to try and get him to start all over again.

And to the OP: I'm on my first grow and have found LST and topping to be easy and effective but look at arvums current grow and you'll see a perfect scrog with some Norther Lights

Edit: Ironically he has a bubblelicous in that thread too ha ha

actually with those dimensions its just about the size of a puter tower, but twice as wide. i actually could do some nice things in there. deff go with a scrog tho, id do 2 small plants, they will fill the screen faster than one, which will cut your vegg time in half. You can get away with some CFL's easy enough. My purp turned out way better than any mersh ur gonna find. and probly cost me 20 bucks to grow.

that could work nicely, you may be able to pull the electronics out, make a fake faceplate. then either cut out the divider or use the empty spot to mount a couple puter fans in there pulling the heat up and out. a piece of flat black 1/4" plywood or similar will block out the hole easy enough. maybe print out a photo of a speaker cone to put behind the grill. id just paint the inside white, itl be easier than trying to get mylar or whatever in there all nice.

keep us posted on the progress.

if it opens from the back that would be a better and easier way to do plant maintainance, and just use that front hole to look at it.

thanks for the tips! i may take the electronics out because i can always put everything back in and it'll work, i just don't wanna take out the divider. but i do plan on putting a couple computer fans in there for intake and exhaust, just have to figure that one out. theres that little slot on the front that i could use and cover up some of it to keep the light out, i just wonder if it's enough space for air to be pulled through

Op,

Sounds like a great idea and highly stealthy!

How do you plan to deal with odour?

Good luck with the girls!

Toke up!
thank you! as far as odor goes, i smoke here a decent amount and just keep candles and a bunch of air fresheners around. i may go with ona but some people say its too strong.

sadly it doesnt open from the back, its all sealed except for the hole in the front. but i plan on putting some kind of door thing to cover it

You know a Marshall full stack converted into a dual grow cab would be the sickest idea!

... then again I'm not sure I could bring myself to gut a a pair of Marshall cabs and amp, lol.

if its a mg series then youd be improving it.
Hahah I'd rather play my guitar through this bass combo than to own an mg cab or head


On a side note, I have a few concerns
I'll be away on vacation for a few days at the end of may which will probably be closer to the end of flowering depending on when I start the grow.. I don't have anyone I'd trust to come water her. Will this be a big issue?

Also I may be moving within the next 3-6 months, but I think if I transport it quick enough it'll be okay
