Ok guys… I wanted to share my cabinet with you all, so you can see what I’m working with. I do not have a lot of space, so I can only grow in this old wooden dresser that I converted. Any thoughts or improvement ideas would be helpful
Lights - Bloombee 150
With a unifun led for more lighting. I got that for $10 on wish.com
Fan. Just two fans - one inside and also one underneath the cabinet that is blowing in fresh air
I don’t have anything fancy right now but hey back in the day when the bloombee came out. It was good back then, so it will serve its purpose until I find a way to upgrade.
Right now I have 3 cbd plants growing that I won from George from the vault. That guy is a life saver!
Right now I’m just using Indoor potting soil from Walmart. I didn’t know about all these other types that you mentioned until I started stalking the forums for research into growing and caring for my own medication. It’s a learning process for me right now and clearly I’m in the right place to learn.
Thanks! I never thought I would own a small dog, he needed a home this past March and I badly needed a friend to help me get thru my medical issues. He is the best lol I love him like he’s my own hairy son.
Loving the cabinet!
I used to grow in one very similar to that, painted the inside white, used CFL bulbs for lighting and a couple of computer fans for ventilation.
Lookin’ good!!! If you keep growing and following the peeps on this site, in another year or two you’ll need another closet…not for plants, but all the do-dads and thingamajiggers…I have no doubt that crack is a hell of an addiction…but growing your own herb has got to be right up there too!!!
Welcome to OG!! Let the good times roll!!

Very nice set up!
I started with $500.00 after selling and item, I bought for $50.00 at a yard sale. I told my then girlfriend, (now wife) that I was going to use that money to learn to grow weed for us.
I found OverGrow, reading and lurking for MANY months.
I found the NGB stealth cabinett, and built one from used, dumpster dived electric motor crates, where a printing press was being installed.
I ran, and changed that box so many times!! A most excellent way to gather up your growing skills, IMHO.
Best to you and your project man!
Thanks! I figure this setup will be good until I hit the lotto lol. Someone was actually tossing this dresser away. I put it on a dolly and walked it slowly back to my house. I took all the drawers out and left only the bottom one in and it’s perfect for what I’m doing. I’m just enjoying learning all of this. It’s keeping my mind busy and I’m not just laying around as much. I’m getting up every few hours just to open the cabinet and stare at them for a few minutes, like I’m going to miss something lol
That’s good to know! I do feel more relaxed when looking at them. I also feel like I’m going to miss something. A bud might magically appear lol. Right now I don’t have any questions. I’m just trying to take it all in. I think I have the basics down.
This is my New game plan. Thanks to @Sebring (he’s sending me autos). So I started my cbd diesel on a 12/12 from seed because I’m a little desperate for weed, so I need them to grow a little quicker. Once I get the autos. I’m going to put them in and let them grow with the cbd until the cbd are ready to harvest. Once I can harvest the cbd. I can change the lighting to 18-6 and it won’t hurt the autos that will currently be growing. From what I read, They won’t mind the change when I choose to Switch the lighting. Once I switch the lighting I will put in a couple of photos and then learn how to veg the photos and Also perform “low stress training” on them until they look nice enough to switch to 12/12. Then repeat until I have enough medication stored. I was smoking 1 oz or less a month until I officially ran out yesterday. It was the right amount of weed for my pain and helped me eat… so I’m gonna suck it up and eat pills until I can harvest these girls.
I’m going to have plenty of questions once I can switch the lighting to veg and then I’m gonna grow my balls off! I want plants that fill my cabinet. Currently since I did 12/12 they are short girls so I won’t yield as much. But hey - I’m going to get something soon!
I have two small fans attached to the bottom of the cabinet. One fan is facing up into the cabinet to blow air in and the other is attached facing down Blowing air out (kind of like an exhaust fan) It was the best I could come up with There is a one inch gap from the bottom drawer to the back of the cabinet. So air can get in.
Good setup and your dog is cute af lol. If you’re looking for relatively fast turnaround for medication I’d probably suggest you just focus on autos in your space.
You could leave the lights on all the time and just keep planting an auto seed every couple weeks. Eventually you’ll be harvesting a plant frequently.
Anyways just a thought. It could make things a little simpler for ya!
Please post. I would love to see it! It will give me some ideas. Everyone seems to be growing in bigger areas. So I just would like to see, so I can hopefully keep up with you guys! Thanks so much. I appreciate it.
