Stealth Grow setup with build in SIP for easy watering!!

Ever wanted  to Grow indoors but have limited space ?? Or want it stealthy so it's nearly undetectable ??

​

This setup combines the best of all worlds, for those who need a small easy to maintain setup that is stealthy and effective.

Supplies Needed:

1 Garbage Can - 2ft piece of Perforated pipe - 1 Airstone(Optional) - 1 Plastic tote Lid - 1 Solo Cup

​

4ft of PVC Pipe - 2 x Computer Fan - 1 x AC / DC Adaptor to run fans

STEP 1) Cut the Tote Lid

Using Scissors cut the tote lid round to the shape of the Garbage can bottom. You can use a measuring tape to measure the diameter to get an accurate measure. (Always overcut, you can always take more off)

​

Be sure to drill small aeration holes all over as shown and a large 3.5" hole in the middle for wicking.

Then place PVC pipe and elbows as sown so that it fills the reservoir section under the Soil mass.
