Ok hi peeps! man ... have had lots of heat probs. from my new LUMATEK 600W HPS in my original cab so..... I've swapped cupboards with my wife and now have a better sized cupboard in which to grow. However I do have my work cut out for me, so bare with me this will be one hell of a cool thread from start to finish. SO without further a due I am going to crack on, all thoughts comments and surgestions welcome as long as its relevant its all good - STELTHY:leaf:

I swapped my little office cupboard with my wife for her slightly bigger one...bigger's always better :) but now I occupy the space & in the future I have plenty of room for a huge cupboard I can make 100% from scratch myself but for now this is perfect :) watch the transformation - STELTHY

for an area that small, you're going to have to ventilate the shit out of it...have an air intake, and air exhaust. to make it stealth, make sure your exhaust includes a carbon filter! good luck!
PS, i have a 600w hps lumatek in my garage w/o air ducting, and it keeps the entire garage plenty warm...so keep that in mind!

I wasn't happy with the crap ply wood backing to this cupboard so I went to my local DIY store, and bought a huge sheet of MDF, luckily I had 2 good mates lending me a hand ***** was cool with taking it back roped on top of his little fiesta :) was fun! - STELTHY

We had it cut in two, the main bit becomes the back, and the little cut off becomes the 'grow-shelf' :) - STELTHY

Luckily my wife took my daughter out to the zoo so I could use her bed to get my measurements correct on my grow shelf :) Above is the original under-side of my 'old' grow shelf - STELTHY

Just because I am MARRIED and have a DAUGHTER doesn't mean I have to give up everything I enjoy! I still have my own hobbies and thing's that keep me happy! as far as growing up goes ... wait and see what a real STEALTH cupboard looks like you may learn something ...and 'yes' it is worth it! very worth it!!! - STELTHY:leaf:

You would think that by being married and having a kid u would be a bit more responsible .... but in this case i see the exact opposite..... maybe im just crazy but i know i wouldnt be taking my families furntiure apart and grow in there residence for what a quarter pound of weed and the potential of them having legal problem for " ur hobbie"

All im saying is go ahead and GROW but dont involve them and when u do it make it worth ur while.. this is just plain stupid

If you wanna grow in that box of your wifes for personal smoke its your biz. I would be careful about fire in a box like that though. It would just make me nrevous.

Hey man, I originally said I wanted to try all methods so I had knowledge and experience! the UFO's did work but I wanted a new challenge after and 250 and 400 seemed pointless...So I took a giant leap to a 600, as a 1000 would require me to seriously seriously mod out my shed.... not saying I wont ever do that but... for now a 600 seems challenging enough, what with heat etc... we may have got off on the wrong foot but trust me man the science of thing's make s me wanna go further and what better way than a 600, I was looking at hardcore boat led's but the cost is too high atm and hps seems better.. Is it worth vegging with MH or do YOU personally recommend HPS only, What are your thought's? - STELTHY:leaf:
