Cupboard grow – advice

I have a fair amount of experience growing so I am past the newbie stage. Since my last grow I have moved to a first world country with first world rules so I had to say bye bye to my veg room 4 hanging fluros about 400 watts total and flower room with my 400 hps. In total my cycle gave me 20 plants to harvest every 12 weeks non stop for 2 years.

It has been 2 years and now where I am in a rental with laws that could get me into trouble if caught I need to be carefull. My current grow is borne out of nececity. I have had nothing to smoke for 6 weeks and will probably not smoke for at least 6 months untill my two seedlings are hopefully female.

This is the set -up:

2 door free standing cloths cuboard - fairly high and can 4 decent sized pots.

2 seedlings about 10 days old under 1 X 105 fluro with another fluro on the way also to be 105watts.

The inside is lined with Panda film and I am yet to add an extractor, at the moment they are getting enough air thorugh me opening and closing the doors.

Once they are big enough I will take 4 cuttings of each and start vegging those suckers with the 2 "mothers" (hoping both are female)

If one is male, please god let at least 1 be female! then I will get rid of the 4 cutting of that one.

Then when I am ready to flower I will put one 250 watt hps in that cupboard and get another smaller cupboard to put my 4 cuttings which should then be small plants into under the fluros.

So the 2 females (I hope) will be flowering under the 250 watt (keeping it to 250watt to keep the heat down)

As soon as I harvest the 4 cuttings will go to veg in the bigger and room and once big enough I will take cuttings from them and so the cycle starts.

I cant be caught so I have to have the balast of the hps inside the cupboard and it must only look like a clothes cupboard, we get rental inspections from the agency. So far they dont have a clue. Yes the smell will be a worry, but in my experience growing in soil the smell is not that strong and I will get something to mask the smell if needed.

My worry is the space is very small, I have seen crazy setups here in the past so I know it is doable.

Any advice you guys have will be appreciated and if you want to see what my old school setup looked like check my album, it was about 18 months ago I think.

Enjoy a toke on me...... I have been straight for 6 weeks remember lol I feel ok, it just proves it is not a drug. :-)

As for cloning, there is no reason that you have to sex first in the end if the plant is male I just chuck 4 clones simple as that and it will save time and most importantly space.

As for hedging bets - I dont get your point, I have a small space to grow I explained that. As for gorilla, I explained I am in a rental and stealth is a issue, your are not even sure what season it is where I am, I dont think gorilla grow in the middle of a city in winter will work, do you?

I think you get it :-) The point is there are loads of ways to grow weed....... Also you can clone from clones and clone and clone and clone, it does not do a thing. I know some say it degrades the dna somehow it makes no difference I have done it. :-) When you have little space it saves you from keeping huge mothers. Just a side pont that I am sure will draw some critisism.

Buy more seeds.
What an insightfull point...... I have more seeds..... We are past that point..... they have germinated and we are now talking about growing in a SMALL cupboard, cloning etc. Buying more seeds just gets me more seeds of which I have plenty. Also border controll is crazy where I am. I dont want to be caught trying to import seeds as I then make it obvious that I am growing already and risk getting arrested.

depends on the area u are in

if it is anything like mine there is a huge amount of just left homes .......in my short 1 mile area i can think of 6 homes that have no one...and has not for serval months and 3 of them are no longer listed for sale/rent any more so depending on the lvl of commitment u are willing to go ....it up to u ............were there is a will there is a way...14 year old going in a speaker box with 2 gens of family as cops ----not me just the most famous exp i could think of

i understand things fail and they can turn during stress but why .......the cost of seeds for good strains....u get a 3 pack u plant all 3 one of the 3 will be female if not all 2 u grow out one u clone

the answer to your size is simple .......limited grow medium .........1 gallon pot 1/2 str nutrients ......if it is getting to close to the top u prune a leaves and switch it to flowering and add a 5000k to keep it from streching

I will be growing up to 4 plants at a time under 205watts fluros and flowering under a 250watt hps. The will grow big ish. The size thing for me means 4 plants as appose to 20 to 30 under a 400hps.

I just did not understand what you meant and yes maybe I am on edge, I have not smoked for 6 weeks and I don't drink so that will do it. :-)
