so I'm finally starting this grow after a year of procrastination. I have 10 different types of seeds. I have planted blueberry haze and one purple crown. My wife also planted a purple crown just to see what happens. Just germinated the seeds till the tails popped out just a bit. I'm using a ufo light from an un-named brand. Me and my buddy used one in our last grow and it actually worked well. I have a ipower Carbon filters got on Amazon and a vortex s-line inline fan for noise with a speed controller. Using a tent I found on eBay for 40 bucks (won it in a auction) . The tent is located in the back of my closet. Due to me moving back to California we moved in with my sister in law in a apartment and I have to keep this pretty low-key. I will be posting pictures of closet and inside the tent in a little while. Right now I have some organic potting soil has only .5-.5-.5. I'm going to either pick up happy frog soil or some fox farms ocean forest. Any suggestions ? Never used either so any input would help.

Both fox farm soils are good. The ocean forest is alittle more hot meaning more nutes already mixed in. The happy frog is not as hot, meaning there are less nutes. I like happy frog better since again its alittle less hot and I can add more nutes if I need too. When its time to start feeding my plants.

I'm setting up something very similar! How much did this carbon scrubber setup cost? I prefer fox farms ocean forest, never had problem!

The inline fan costed me about 160 on eBay with a speed controller and it's super quiet on the low range of the controller. The carbon scrubber was 50 bucks after taxes and came with a pre scrubber. I spent about 220 after taxes. Nice man post some pictures once you get set up would love to see!

Okay any suggestions on nutes that you use and what times during the grow? I usually have a hydro setup and never use soil but being that I needed the smaller space I went with soil so this will be my first soil grow

So here are some quick pics. I have my inline fan housed in a little box for super quite and almost non existent noise. I'm going to go into my tent right now and clean up the hanger ropes I was in a hurry earlier to just get everything up asap when no one was home. The closet itself is getting cleaned first thing in the morning. I will be posting updates pictures. The set up of my walkin closet was perfect for this to be in the back really got lucky on that! Also having my wife support me no matter what I do is always good! image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpegimage.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

A little update. I came across some clones . Sunset sherbert and some super sour deisel. These clones smell like skunk already!!!! I'm wondering if this carbon filter is a dud like my friends was. I know ipower uses Australian carbon but I have encountered acouple shitty ones. And also some really good ones. Any one out there got any pointers to get the most efficient use and scrub out of a filter. My closet stinks. I never really had to worry about smell before this grow. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

Thanks man yeah one of the percs of being in the Bay Area man I get to go grab some from the store. Yeah I'm going to that was my plan also looking at upgrading my tent soon to a gorilla shorty 2x2.5x4"11 so ill have the extra 6 inches wide and also have the extra 11 inches tall for my light and filter. I'm thinking about using my seeds after these clones or even taking a couple clones and making these mother plants in the dresser I gutted out so I can clone and maybe do a sog grow since I have such a small space never tried a sog grow so I'm considering and leaning towards that's also any input from anyone with experience is greatly appreciated!

@Vinnyviniv depends on your style of growing when cramming into small space have a perfect screen helps you space out everything perfectly snug and when you clean up the bottom you can use for clones

That's actually a great idea I'm going to do that! Imma have to go to the hydroponic store tomarrow for a new filter. Also some ducting I got some from my local Home Depot and its shit. I put a flashlight into it in the dark and there's a million pin holes in it! Highly disappointed.

I like the whole, messy closet as camouflage trick. Very clever.

When you first see the entrance of the closet you don't notice a tent at all! Blends in behind cloths and a dresser that's also gutted. My buddy came over earlier looked in there and didn't even notice it at all till I mentioned it

@Vinnyviniv heres so you kinda get an idea watch the whole thing!

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. I used to have a trailer home in Arizona in the desert and I turned half of it into a hydro grow I was never contained to small spaces or a tent and electricity wasn't a problem because it was already hella hot. I just plugged in two carbon filters and never smelt a thing but they were big 14 inch scrubbers I have this 4 inch now and I'm thinking it won't be enough
