Sup, I grew up in AK where its legal to grow/smoke 27 plants/1 oz personal use
Unfortunatly I left when i turned 18 to go to college and play football. Ive smoked ALOT of bud throughout my days and some GOOD shit...unfortunatly ive never gotten to grow...ive always wanted to. Anyways I am now finally in the position to grow. I am using a small ass space about 1.8x1.8 ft space. so like 3-3.5 sq ft. I am gonna grow some Lowrider X AK-47 or LowriderX2 not sure...I have some bag weed I just started in there...but I decided to get some Lowrider cuz bagweed is never gonna work in that small of a space. Ill grow it out till I get my LR seed to get a feel for it. Ill post a couple pics of my lil space...I know people might say to use an hps even a small 125 or so but I cant afford it so im using 3x 2,600 lumins 150 watt equiv CFL's. I got 2 lil computer fans for intake air, a small walmart fan blowing on my lights and the same fan as an outtake. Havnt got a smell control setup yet...but will by the time i need one. Cuz i definitly cant have smell problems. Has to be 100% stealth...(noisy roomie)and im pretty proud at how stealth I got it hehehe. anyway sheres a couple pics. I will be starting a grow log when I start my LR. Also any suggestions on which LR strain i should grow is cool. I spose smaller is better. I want a good strong smoke, good laughy high. So im thikning LRx2 X AK-47 sine AK is a headie sativa. I prolly will en dup getting feminized seeds since i dont have a place to make seeds. So it makes since sine u usually get 50/50 at best so id rather pay double for 100% girls. Lemme know what you think. Im on limited budget..cant even get seeds atm..should have money soon. I have lots of gardening **** for flowers/veggies. I have the bagseed planted in some MG moisture control soil.. its the best soil ive ever found for roses/lilles/veggies/hydrangas and shit. My girl loves that shit. Anyways im babbaling. Lemm know what you guys think.

Thx

Grow space I got like 2-3 more inches ontop of lights that I can move em up and my pots are on a platform about 4-6 inches high to get closer to lights.

My entertainment center where the grow cabby is...its behind the kennel on the bottom left of entertainment center
Cant see ****. No way your telling im growing bud. no sound or nothing.

My pit Bruno. Dogs the ****


Im open to any and all feedback. I need all the help I can get cuz 70$ is expensive as **** for seeds...cant afford to **** em up. Im thinkign 2 plants will fil lthat cabby up? Plant 2..plant 1 more in a month...harvest the 2 and plant another? then plant 1 every month/ I dont smoke to much so that might work for me. Lemme know how I can maximize my yeild in this space. Big shallow pots? for more vertical growth room? You cant really prune LR so idk. Lemme know your ideas.

Yo, what I did for my micro grows is I used books to keep them close to the lights, and I used LST'ing (works like a charm) and I also started them off in the flowering stage, they were pretty little girls until I had to kill them. click the link in my sig for a demo.

What you mean by Lst'ing? I am very interested im about 1/2 way through your gro wlog....u basicly making some homeade lowryders lol. I also will be using Miracle grow Moisture control. Lemme know any advice you have...you just used bagseed?

Thx.

Yea, Bagseed. And LST'ing is low stress training. Basically you make holes on the sides of your pots and tie the plants down. and they will adapt to anyway you tie them down and that will save space.

I read ur entire post...sux at the end. You try it again? I was real interested...shit was looking good. was just like a lowrider...Im definitly gonna try it. So you just used miracle grow soil? no nutes no nothing? Put it on 12/12 right after sprouted? That was a scroog you were attempting? Can you lemme know how that works...ive read on it but I dont understand it...you just put each bud stem or w/e through a hole?...its real confusing. Lemme know what all you did so it can help me out. Thx man.

How big was your grow space? mines like 1.8 feet tall....shits gonna be hard with bag seed since its mainly sativa dominant. They showed sex after 2 weeks? Should I just go with 1 or 2 plants? With the pots im literally gonna have like 1 foot inbetween the top of my pots and the lights.. I also got a question bout 12/12 I dont got a timer so can I just do it by hand? will it matter if i miss it by 30 min or an hour? and do like a 13/11 by accident or something? Also should I go with 1 or 2 females? is it possible to prune my girl to make her bush out and not vertical? or will this mess it up cuz its on 12/12 and flowering? Thx.
