So i have decided to start my stealth indoor grow... ive done plenty of research so i think i have the set up down pretty good...

List of Supplies
2 rubbermaids one large one small
emergency blanket
2 cfls for now... plann to upgrade to 6 after the sprout of the 3 seeds
3 peat discs for germination
two cell phone chargers for wiring of fans
piece of 1x2 for hanging of cfls
2 80mm pc fans

I have my intake exhaust setup on the back of the rubbermaid... i plann on getn pvc elbow on the inside of the rubbermaid so the light doesnt shine through.

I have 3 seeds on a 18/6 hr. light scheduale.... one has broken through the dirt already after one day.. one seed is bag seed, one is purps, and one is sweet god... the sweet god has come to the surface jus waiting on the others..
i cant really think of anything else i need to do to make the setup anybetter within my price range, which is very limited... i also need to keep the setup as stealth as possible... any advice would be appericated

ya i think that might a bit to noticable for my setup... i wondering if i could attach a smal piece of pvc onto th exhaust fan and jus tape a piece of carbon filter on the end so the exhaust air would blow through the filter... would my fan be able to blow through that or is it to small... 80 mm pc fan so idk...

yea you could just run the filter into a box next to the rubbermaid or do what im doing and build a fake wall but if you use the pvc the pressure might blow the carbon off and then your spot will stink

you dont have to worry about your power strip being overused a toaster is prob using like 5 times the amount of electricty as your grow with the cfls

I can understand everyones love for the newest and greatest but LED's aren't there yet cost wise.... get yourself an HPS and never look back.
