View Full Version : I bring you the 1000w 100% stealth CFL grow
Ok i thought i'd treat you all to the ultimate stealth, up to 1000w CFL grow, i unleash it to the thct crowd :)
.....all questions comments etc are more than welcome.
its a first time build that has been modified and tweaked on what was seen from my loft build (and the errors we made building that). built by a good "friend", oh and its in an old tool shed. :)
the worst point is having to take the plants out to water them well. but if yur like me, then nothing about growing is a chore.
so, 1st here is the veg room, great temps due to the single 6inch extractor, passive intakes (all hidden from the exterior), and oil heater on a thermostat.a 250w blue & anything up to 12x20w wall and ceiling mounted CFLS (depending on whats needed)
http://www.thctalk.com/gallery/data/500/medium/vegroom1.jpg
on the right of this comes the flower room, this is also heated by an external rad on the outer wall and an independant 6 inch extractor. pc fans placed all around blow the tops of the plants. this side has forced intake from a small fan. again battons on the wall allow adjustable shelving to be placed. also the wall mounted CFL's twist around 360 degrees to maximise light.

and thats it! but heres the real good part...........pull down the lightproof cover.

then slide in the front.

and finaly slide in the boxes. takes around 120 seconds.

so guys/girls, what do you think of that?? :D
its growing ROSS (see my diary for the strain details) and i can post a few pics of where that at if u wanna see the box in action.
cheers all fjb.

v nice dude
Great job, checking out the dairy right now!
thanks guys, i'm well impressed myself, considering its made out of old pallet wood. he had a few temp probs with just 4inch pc extractors, with temps above 32, but 2x £40 extractors deal with that now. its very secluded too where the shed is, so smell wont be too much of a problem.
all in all he says if he clears 3 ounces total he has from the 6 or so females (12 or so males...) 4 in flower now (2 weeks or so) and 2 in veg(for cloning/mum/flower), he'll have recouped ALL his costs inc electricity for 3 months.
can't wait to see his final results, and even tho i KNOW i'm gonna get slated for this, i'm leaning towards the new tech of the CFL being better than HPS in a lot of ways. and i see this as the future of a new generation of growers that never existed b4. even more-so as the lights get smaller and brighter.
with the advent of CFL & the Net & the sheer amount of available strains -- growing MJ will NEVER be the same again. :)

Gosh FaZedjb those lights look fantastic...really, really beautiful. Reminds me of the space movies where the space ship hovers menacingly over the Earthlings before beaming them up and experimenting on their Nether Regions. Really nice. :D

its growing ROSS (real old seed stock)- 6 yr old seeds lol, from the growers own strain he had been growing and pollinating outside in the UK over many years. he stopped growing 5 or so yrs ago, then got inspired by Twiggy my 1st CFL grow after he saw the results!
currently there are 3 females in flower (2-3-weeks since 12/12 -)
+ untold seedling from 0-2 weeks old
+ 2 females still in veg all around 12 ish weeks old - 1 is getting some HST. 1 is being grown for clones before being put to flower in the next week or so.

I'm not sure DRAGONSILVERLIGHTS will want a full diary of his grow, tho i`m sure I can sneak the odd update on here every now and again, just, no-one tell him..
also
Another big 125w or 250w RED is getting added to the flower room verticaly against the back wall, probably on the 26th of december..

Good luck with it bud.
This is what the end product should look like.....
