Hey everyone. Figured I would pop in here and say hello. I did a couple single plant photo grows about 10yrs ago and that had been my only experience growing. Frankly I have been a little bored and have been looking for something to keep me occupied. This brought me to starting some internet research and my interest in autoflowering plants. I soon realized that genetics have come a long way in 10 years seems like there are just as many autoflowering options as photos. My situation dictates that I keep a fair level of seclusion in my home and frankly I didn't want a tent or anything even that large. I set some goals for myself and decided that ...

1) I needed a stealth type grow
2) Needed to use legit equipment( make shift carbon scrubbers just don't cut it let's not kid ourselves:cool:
3)Use quality genetic material(random bag seeds not going to happen)
4)Grow quality smoke
5) HAVE FUN and not stress over any failures that may come along the way of the learning curve.
6)LEARN

With that said what I have done is built a purpose made cabinet. It started out as an unfinished 36" kitchen sink base cabinet. I built a custom front door with magnetic locks. I stained it to match the rest of the furniture in my bedroom. I will admit I have had a couple of lady friends over and no one has asked any questions about it. The overall space inside the box is 36"X24"x29" I wish it was a few inches taller than the 29". I think I can add another bottom to it and cut out the factory floor to gain 4 more inches in height if needed. I have a 300w Mars Hydro old style LED and a full size 4" HV fan and 12" carbon filter all housed within the stealth box.
 
Welcome. I'm fairly new myself.
I'm not sure 30 inches in height will be enough. Probably 8-10 inches will be taken by the container
with the soil. The light will take at least 6 inches (including the space for ventilation on top of it). That's only around 15 inches for the plant to grow in.
 
Sounds like a plan. You picked a great hobby and the best forum
Welcome to the funhouse.

HotB---you have a great attitude towards growing. Many of us had to learn not to stress over the nature of canna and its propensity to surprise.

Took me about four years--in fact, lesson was repeated yesterday when stumbled upon one of those surprises!

Cheers
 
Sounds like a plan. Your size of cabinet will be fine. Mine is small to and I also have an LED. You may have to do some LST but it will be fine. I started with the 4 inch fan as well and filter but it wasn't enough air flow so be careful there. I cooked my first seedlings temps got up around 90 degrees. I had to put in a different fan but all is well now!!!
 
Failures make you a better grower.I have made several each grow,live to grow another day.peace
