Hello,

I'm a total noob thinking about growing a few plants for personal use. I have nothing purchased yet and am going to try and do a lot of research on here before I jump into anything. I was thinking about building a grow box, maybe 2x2, not sure how tall. I am wondering about the location, can you tell me how well carbon filters work? Could I have a grow box in my closet with my clothes if it is well sealed with a good carbon filter or would it still stink up my clothes some?
Thanks for the help.

Will it just stink up his clothes because they are practically on top of weed? Or would weed stink up clothes no matter where they are in relation to the grow box?

If I put it in the closet it would be a proper setup with a good carbon filter. i just want to know if I should do it in my closetvbecause of the clothing. If it won't work I will have to try it somewhere else but I'm very limited. I think I have about 4 feet of height but have to measure to be sure

Hi everyone I've been a member for I think about a week now and so far everyone has really been helpful plus informative. Its given me the push I needed to get the gears rolling for my goal of growing for personal use. Just yesterday I've gathered most of the things I've needed to do a stealth PC grow. I know some of you may not agree with the use of these and others will praise me for the ingenious idea :weed: but I am confined to a small grow box due to space and need for complete stealth. Currently I am waiting on some seeds I've ordered from Attitude, just a couple pick&mix including G13 pineapple express(spanish blaze allegedly), Ministry NL, and a freebie of Mazar X Great White Shark. Which I regret not waiting to do since there is a promotion going on from the 6th to 9th for all who do not know I believe you will get 3 Freebies for spending over $41 (30pounds). I have bagseeds that I plan to do a trial run with and will be starting a Grow Journal right when I germinate.

Hello everyone. I just got my card last week and figured I'd grow my own plant since the shops around here want $20-30 per gram on top of membership fees and also to avoid the overall awkwardness of visiting them. Four separate locations were just raided and shut down so I am a bit reluctant when it comes to dispensaries anyway. Basically, I'm in West MI. It's been in the 90's for weeks now with no signs of change. For shits, I planted a seed a few days ago and already have a 2-3 inch sprout. This is outdoors, mind you. My problem is that I realized I'm within 1000 feet of a school so growing outdoors is a no go for me. I know that its perfectly possible to grow decent plants without super fancy chemicals, fertilizers, and all that, since its been growing in the wild forever. So I'm wondering what kind of light I should get for one, MAYBE two plants and where I should get it. I'm looking at spending around 20 to 30 dollars on the light, as I already have soil and what not. Any advice?

Hey everyone. I've been a member for a week or so too. I've been looking around for online MJ-related communities with a good atmosphere and RIU seems great so far. Anybody have encouragement or advice on my situation? I'm slightly above middle aged :), living in mid-Atlantic states, established grandpa type :). I have some land (few acres) and am curious about growing some Indica dominant outside for personal use. My neighbors are great, but MJ is illegal and I don't want to put anybody on the spot to cover for me. So, I am curious how I might do an outdoor grow, if I could or should try it. On the plus side, I do a lot of gardening and generally have a "green thumb" AND I can probably talk my wife into it :). On the minus, it is illegal and I will need to make some attempt to keep things private.

A lot of questions are swirling around in my mind, and thought it would be fun and productive to hear from y'all, your thoughts. Some q's are: If I am in mid-atlantic USA, how late in the year could I start from seed and have a reasonable yield? I do not have any "personal sources" for known quality seeds, so how might I get seeds w/o problems, or can I? If I grow Indica type plants, will they be shorter, easier to hide, faster to produce? What other plants might be good to grow near so the MJ is hidden (I have lots of options, given the land)? Assuming I am great at following directions and do in fact have a green thumb, what kind of yield might I get from a single plant? What would be a good strain to attempt first?

Sorry for being long, but hoping to find friends who will encourage and guide ... including telling me I am f..in crazy and need to can the idea :)

Thanks

Sweet. I plan on becoming a very active poster/reader/member.

I am looking to crop about 5 or 6 lbs every harvest. How many seed should I germinate to get that yeild? approx? I have a room I just constructed which is 80 sqft. I will have two 400's and two 1000 high press sodium lights. 4's for veg and 1's for bloom. ( That's two balaces, two shades a,d FOUR bulbs. Two of each wattage.)

I plan on finishing everything in about 14 days and I'll be ready to put the baby's under the lights....just one thing.....thats about all i know...HELP!!!

Where do I go from here? I heard that 18 on and 6 off is good to start them but.....when do i stop that light cycle? When do they go to 12/12? When do I water? What do I feed them?

The other thing i know is to keep them under 85F. That is not a problem. My basement is very cool. I have good ventilation going up the chimney and good air flow in the room with my other two fans. Also, grabbing a Hepa honeywell air cleaner I've seen first hand that they work very well. one grower I know had cat piss stanching up his house. That Honeywell cleaned it right out and the plant stink too!!

I hope you can help me out. I am really serious about this.

u can do 12/12 when ever u want but best to let plant get 2-4 ft first
as for watering dont over water u can stick finger in soil a inch or two if dry water or u can learn to judge it by weight of pot is pick it up dry dirt doesnt way much
i wouldnt feed them for first 3 weeks

First off, thank you for responding so quick. I would really like to establish a reliable connection with one whom has experience to grow immaculate buds. I am going to pick up some guaranteed fem seeds in the next week. They're Purple Kush. There is a seed bank near bye with all the fixings that you can imagine. Another experienced grower friend of mine said that picking up the pot was the best way too. I think I'll go with that route now that i've heard it twice.

How many seeds should I get yield 5 or 6 pounds? Another question I have is: when should I cut the"top" off my plant so the hormones will spread and increase the yield? I was told this trick works. does it?

Thanks again.

well u established a connection when u joined riu lots of exp growers here
yield depends on more then just how many plants u can grow a bunch of plants and another guy with a proper setup could grow double your yield with less plants
it is more about getting a good system going and get it dialed in but be glad to help if i can and if i cant i could help u find someone that can
