I was sitting on the couch stoned thinking to my self I need to start to grow my own herb. But I live in an apartment, I cant grow herb for several reasons......

1. The Smell
2. The Space
3. The Time

As I went through my reasons I found solutions to all my issues.....

1. Carbon Scrubber
2. Auto Flowers--Stealth Grow
3. Automation

So now that I overcame my own objections, I moved forward.....What will I grow(auto strain), where will I grow, and how much can I grow? Well I started with "WHERE". After a few blunts and some cloudy thinking......it hit me!

My old Entertainment Center

So I began to work out all the lil details. removed the TV and the shelf it sat on. Installed a solid back on the cab. Drilled two 6" holes in the top-back for dual air out, and two 4" holes side by side in the bottom-back for air in. I then spry painted the inside flat white. then I drilled a 2" hole for power lines to run. I installed four I-hooks in the top to support lights and 2 on each side for the side lights.

I shopped around and found 2 2' T5 lamps for $65.00 at the pawn shop, my budy kicked me down with 2 areogrow gardens. So I took the light hood's off and also used them too. you cant see it in this pic but I also replaced the light receptacle
with standard light sockets in order to puchase what type of bulb I wanted instaed of AeroGarden's bulbs, plus I wanted to use Higher wattage bulbs than 23w.

It was starting to come along nicely. I purchased a Carbon Scrubber from eBay along with a vortex fan and installed them as well. I siliconed ALL edges even the doors. I put foil tape on the inside of the doors inorder to reflect more light instead of converting unused light to heat. I then built a 6 site DWC with top feed lines as well.

Here is the final pic:
I will upload more pics soon!

It is weird that they dont post regular. I looked at the post in edit mode and they seem fine. I have reported this to see whats up.
 
the aluminum foil can cause "hot spots" sometimes they can be a problem, the spray painted white background might be good enough. maybe just use the foil to shape the ceiling like a reflector.
also If you smoke multiple blunts a day in your apartment then i dont think the smell of a few auto flowers would be stronger.
If you can you might want to throw an osculating fan in there.
oh yeah i found a sleeping bag bunjied around that vortex will stop most of the sound it makes just dont block the intake.

no need for the sleeping bag, it is totally silent. I have a fan in there just not osculating, no space kinda tight quarters.
 
I am starting my grow box also, gonna hide it in the garage, old lady would shit if it was in the house (or in the garage!!) so she wont know. She dont smoke anymore. I'll post pics when I get it done. I have t5 lights , growin in dirt this year, my first serious indoor grow. Later all! Willie
