There is no reason anyone should ever have to buy weed again. Autoflowers enable anyone and everyone to grow. The hardest hurdle to overcome is usually the grow setup (as opposed to keeping the plant alive etc)

So Ive been trying pretty hard to introduce autoflowers to the MMJ community of northern california with little luck. The owners of the dispensaries dont like trying new things out and many simply can not understand what an autoflwoer (or even "harder" colloidal silver...)

The number one problem that people have with getting started with autoflowers is the setup. once you have a setup (or the right weather) autoflowers grow themselves. But this time of year i cant get any stoner to put the effort into making their own grow setup and no one should ever spend the $$$$$ on one from the hydro store. even small stealth cabinets can go for several hundred dollars.

What ive made is a prototype of a semi stealth cabinet whcih cost no more than $20 to build an run. thats $20 for everything, lights, pots, fans etc. I made one of these for a 400w hps which is much larger as well as a medium sized version. The design is very basic, nothing that hasnt been done a hundred times.

Below are the pictures of the box before i finished it by covering it panda film. The key thing to remember is this is a prototype, i didnt spend any money making it, its all from stuff i had lying around. After i confirm that there are no problems with the design ill actually spend the $20 on some new wood, etc to make a new one good enough to sell. :toke:

Again this is the PROTOTYPE BEFORE being finished. The actual box when done is really nothing to look at. I think anyone wanting to make one for themselves would benefit more from the unfinished pics. I have a drive fan in the top left for exhaust and a total of 6 x 26w cfl. Air is sucked in from a few holes that i put in the side. It would probably benefit from an oscillating fan which is another $5.

I can fit 4 one gallon containers with 13" of head room. The dimensions are 20" wide, 12" deep and 24" tall. No light leaks out, i used a 21 decibel fan (silent really) its only 150w and has a foot print of less than 2 square feet. Anyone could build one of these, and fit it in their house.

As soon as i have some pictures of it running with some pretty little autoflowers ill post pics. I just threw this thing together in less than a half hour with a staple gun.
 
Love the simple design, something just about anyone can make!
Great job on the lights and fan, they all fit in there nice and compact.
