I would like to build a stealth cab that is about 4x4. Anyone have any ideas of what would be this big that i could grow in that would look normal...ish in an apartment. I already have/had 4 plants growing here but i had to move them because we were going to have an inspection. They are about 3-4 feet tall and about a foot to 18 inches around. Also i am growing them under a 400w hid

Football table. you have to close sides to make it as box. height is only problem. but you can train those ladies.

hmmm 4x4. sounds challenging. idk how to go about that one...you'd need something pretty damn large.

i know most probably don't have the knowledge or the equipment but if you have the means id make something from scratch. you can make some type of huge cabinet or wood furniture piece. if your apartment has a garage (probably doesnt) you could always build something in there and say its for storage, etc.

idk its hard to say.

or you can get a few furniture pieces and grow in them. it wont be a 4x4 space and you wont be able to use your 400w but you'll be able to probably use a few 250s or something.

i really don't have an idea but im curious to see the answers. hopefully something i can use as well as im forced to go stealth for the 1st time in my life.

you probably want something like this: http://www.dealzer.com/servlet/the-79876/Trinity-Commercial-Hydroponics/Detail

granted most people don't have (or arent willing to spend) nearly 4K for a stealth cab but if you can find a cabinet with those dimensions you could easily make it yourself/customize it however you want. that thing is HUGE. its the biggest i seen during my very brief google search.

just find a similar cab and put the type of locks filing cabinets have on them and if you get questioned by your landlord you can easily say its where you keep your valuables/firearms, etc. people put firearms and valuables in things like that all the time.

just make sure you use a carbon scrubber to keep the smell contained inside the unit and you'll be golden.

thats my advice at this point.

he that thing is sweet. I went ahead and rebuilt the old cab and just re-arranged the bedroom. You cant tell there are pot plants inside, but at the same time its not very stealthy. its a huge box just siting beside the bed making a slight humming noise.

Get a table cloth and an ionizer! Then it looks like a bedside table and the humming "comes from the ionizer".
Just a thought, have a groovy type day!

Get a mini fridge and keep it on top, it will mask the humming and you get to keep beer right next to your bed.

I've always wanted to get a tall fridge and use it as a grow cab, one day :D

This is what I did, because I too was looking for something I could have in my house/bedroom: https://www.rollitup.org/stealth-micro-cab-growing/492283-purple-erkle-stealth-armoire.html

My space is 3ft wide by 2ft deep by 6ft tall. I have four plants in their first week of flowering, and the size is just right. I have to do some tucking and light trimming because it is a tight space, but its perfect for what your looking to do. I dont know where you are, but we have craigslist.com out here and thats where I found the armoire. Had to look for a week or so to find what I wanted for the right price, but ended up only spending $100. Hope this helps!

Your going to want to invest in a cool tube most likely. Don't know if this helps. But I built my own cab INTO a closet for smell/heat control. It's 5.5ft tall, 3.5ft wide and 1.5ft deep. I also live in an apt. unfortunately. Dunno if this is your first or what, but a few tips are to run your lights during the DAY so you don't have to be opening your cab at night with lights flooding the room. Trust me, even 3-4 CFL's look BAD from the outside of your house, as far the light they project on your shades or whatever covers your windows. Also, use good quality screws and NO nails to put your cab together, this will make it easier to take apart if the shit hits. Here's a link to mine if it helps at all.

You could find something like my grow cab I am in the process of finishing. Not sure what exactly to call it, I think its a wardrobe. My original plan was to remove the inner wall and shelving and make it one large cab, but I decided to make it two separate spaces, one for veg and one for bloom. Link is in my sig.

You could get a cheap guitar and make some fake Full stack speaker cabinets those are pretty big, or take a shitload of cardboard boxes hot glue them together and make a hollow stack of them against the wall so it just looks like you have alot of stuff lol worked good to disguise my old closet cab
