i wanna get a plant going in my closet.
it has to be 100% incognito due to my current living circumstances. my closet has already been turned into a booth for my halfstack and microphones for recording my guitar into the computer. the closet is about (guessing here) maybe 5ft wide, 3.5ft deep, and about 8ft high. the half stack is right smack dab in the middle, underneath all my hanging clothes. there is a shelf about 5-6ft high above the clothes rack with leaves approx 3ft, maybe more. this is what im looking at.
nobody ever goes into this closet because its a fuckin disaster haha. theres no room for anything in there and it looks pretty delicate becuase of all the marshall equiptment plus mics and stands.
so i was thinking about putting an incognito"grow box" on the top shelf. i have some small pots, a little smaller than a coffee can. i would only be doing 1 plant this way btw. my plan would be to cut some vent holes in the box, maybe get a computer fan an install or something for ventilattion. i would need something to collect the drainage from the pot, some kind of metal container or tuppaware.
now, as for lights. im not really too sure here, but ive been doing my reading and have decided to go with 2 40w cfls. not sure how to mount em yet but discreetly mouting them to the box and hiding the wires shouldnt be too hard. i also have a few "regular" looking 100w "full spectrum" reaveal lights by ge. not sure if adding thesse in would help or not.
i would use books or something to adjust the height of the pot in the box so that it can be as close to the light as desired, or maybe figure out a way to be able to adjust the light.
so basically i ask of you guys, is this possible? can i grow a plant in such tight spaces? what sort of cfls should i go with? and what about this "full spectrum" nonesense? also, how would you mount the lights to the box and also ventilate it?
im not looking for some extravegant setup obviously, but if i can make a short and fat plant flower and yield something good enough to smoke, ill be happy. even if it isnt the dankest or w.e aslong as its tolerable to puff on ill be esstatic.
TL;DR: i wanna do a micro in a box ontop of my closet shelf. i have about 3ft of space all around, maybe more. cant be visably detectable. smell and temperature not a problem. what kind of box, pots, lights and vent system should i use?
