    When I moved to Alaska one of my biggest problems was keeping my grow warm, so I assembled a 3 fridge setup with one fan with ability to discharge or recirculate air based on a tstat. Both fridges on the right had 250w HPS lamps in cool tubes of my own making. The plants were roughly 2" from the bulbs. The one on the left was a veg chamber on bottom and cloning trays in top.

    I only miss the stealth aspects, not because of hiding, but I like cloak n dagger

    IT CAN BE DONE! :pimp:
     
  4. That's a neat setup you got their mate, just wondering if it is possible with the stealth option. That would be really great.

    Possible? What's more stealth than 3 junk refrigerators is the garage of a refrigeration mechanic? :roll:

    I may have misunderstood...what level of stealth are you referring to?

    I've often thought of you when I saw an old fridge sitting around GG. Many times thought about making my own too, but never did. I still think it's an excellent idea for those looking for a stealth setup though. There are many benefits indeed. I still have yet to figure out how to mask the sound of the fan pulling air though. That's been the toughest hurdle I have yet to conquer.

    You need a sound trap and air velocities under 800fpm in hard duct (600fpm in flexible duct) and face velocities at registers and grilles less than 500fpm

    Silence is golden :pimp:
