Very awesome brother. what size filter and fan do you run to keep the smell under control?
Is that hempy buckets? WOW...you're killing that space.5" fan and filter 180cfm, filter is a stubby. Full power the noise is noticeable but not out of the room, dial it down and its silent.
Now that i really like!!! That's it right there!!!I'm looking at considering something like this fish tank stand cab, anybody here done anything like this and or other stealth techniques / builds? The logic is that it's inconspicuous to both friends, family and god forbid a intruder.
I really like this to, trim out the door area with nice matching wood and you could hide that door. I'd glue magnets on the back sides of the doors and use a magnet on the opposing side to open it up and should be able to have no handles.Now that i really like!!! That's it right there!!!
This one is even better than the other!!!
Mylar... Bought 100ft.of it from Amazon for 24 bucks or something like that...Nice man, I'm looking for something similar for a new veg cab, mines a bit to short to get a good veg height.
What have you lined it with?
Looks very reflective!
that cabinet is mine, from back in the early 2000s...I'm looking at considering something like this fish tank stand cab, anybody here done anything like this and or other stealth techniques / builds? The logic is that it's inconspicuous to both friends, family and god forbid a intruder.
That's the way to go! I tip my hat to you!!!that cabinet is mine, from back in the early 2000s...
i started off with a shit load of PC fans. venting the cabinet and the light hoods. by the time i stopped growing in that cabinet, i just had 2 bare 150 HPS bulbs, 2 exhaust fans into the carbon scrubber and 1 fan underneath each plant blowing up.
less was better...
roll out shelving for scrogging also.
the fishtank bubbles and pumps covered up the noise of the cabinet. it worked so well, i have had family and friends admiring the little fishes with 5 ounces of weed below there noses.
also had apt maintenance dudes walking by it every 3 months or so.
very stealth...

Wow, how flipping cool to find something so unique and interesting and then actually find the guy who designed it over 18yrs ago! Anyways, you just touched on some of the points that I had floating around in my head for my specific needs. Sometimes the best way to hide something is in plain sight. Other than being inconspicuous and looking like it belongs in the room in the first place my thought logic was to design something functional that servers it's apparent function to the casual observer without drawing scrutiny past it's apparent function. As you mentioned friends and family but I'm also trying to be proactive and consider the times I'm not home and can't control the situation such as someone decided to enter my home without me being there. Correct me if I'm wrong but my line of thought is such that most situations like this the person is interested in stealing items that are easy such as electronics, I'd assume they go through the usual things like closets and drawers etc; I don't think most burglars are interested in trying to steal a fish tank and as such wouldn't consider it worthy of investigation as oppose to a cabinet per say. I also figured the sound of the fish pump/s would help since they are expected to be noisy and as such it's considered normal to hear sounds from a fish tank setup. Can you touch a little more on the setup as to what the dimensions were overall and that of the grow chamber? How much air flow did you find adequate for both ventilation and smell control via a carbon filter. I to had the idea of putting the growing camber platform on slide out rails so I can tend to the plants. I was thinking of having the front door hidden as in no handles and all trimmed out like in wainscoting. I'm not sure about how to attach the doors yet..perhaps on sliding rails or sunken hinges. If you had to do it again today what would you do different? I plan on using bridgelux led strips @ about 200W total and want the entire thing self contained as in the filter, fan etc all in the cab. Thanks for your time!that cabinet is mine, from back in the early 2000s...
