Hiding Grow Setups From Parents?

Ok, I live with my parents and outdoor growing isnt going so good for me, so I'm looking for suggestions/ways to hide a small grow setup in my room.

Anybody got any good ideas?

FYI: my room is in the basement of our house and its a pretty big room, and closeting one is out of the question.

you know your gonna catch alot of shit for this thread right?

I'm attempting to build a small growbox(1 plant) using an old speaker box to use for vegging clones while the mother is flowering. some people use computer cases, but i thing something wider would be better. Im gonna use 2 CFL lights and a computer fan. the hardest part will be keeping light from escaping.....a glowing speaker is kinda suspicious

thats a good idea moonbeam, and electrical tape(the black shit) is good at keeping light from escaping.

Why panhead?

you cant block all of the light escape off though , cause you gotta have ventilation or it will get to hott and your plants will die

The last time I grew in my parents house, I got an intervention. You'll get no advise from me buddy. Best of luck growing outdoors, its probably the best way for you to go. Get a bike and a backpack, and huff it out into the woods somewhere.

no way are u serious? dont do it at all ther are way to many factors to adress, you have no real clue what your getting into. take everyones advice and grow outdoors or deal till you get your own place. once you do grow indoors if you do you will relize that it would have been impossible to hide it from your parents.

To grow in your parent's household is completely ignorant and disrespectful. I'm guessing you have not even considered the possibilities of them finding your plants or god forbid the police coming-a-knocking. They could lose everything they own and made for themselves over what you've done.

Get your head on straight, mature a lot, and think about how your choices affect other people.

-In case you haven't noticed, when pot is growing it tends to smell like... pot. Giest is right, there's no way to hide it, especially when you start flowering, if you get that far. Also, like others above have said, you could really fuck someone's life up. namely your parents. If you are in any way a typical high schooler, you'll tell all your little homies about it and the beans will get spilled by one of them to an authority figure in some kind of detention plea-bargain and if the cops get involved your parents could get implicated no matter wether they know about it or not. maybe thats why they wouldn't be happy to find you doing that.
-Trust all these people when they tell you to grow outside. hike up into the hills or into a corn-field somewhere a couple miles from where you live. be smart, scout around, look for water sources. you may be able to divert a small amount of water from a creek with a primitive irrigation system, just make sure people don't go there often. try attaching a dollar bill or a couple quarters to a tree branch or shrub with tape or a rubber band. If its visible and still there after several weeks, your spot is pretty safe. you may need to hike many miles to find a suitable spot. you need Light and water, obviously, but also cover. plant in a clear spot amongst a group of bushes or something, you dont want any light blocked, but you dont want a pungent budding plant standing out by itself for very long either. buy a book on guerilla growing and go that way. if you can get you hands on outdoor seed strains you will have better luck than with bag seed, but any seed should at least grow you SOME bud. want to know how i learned this? by growing some seeds out of some KILLER bud only to realize too late that they were pure sativas and were soon small trees 10 feet tall that I ended up having to harvest early because i live in the pacific northwest and mother nature does not provide the proper climate for budding such a plant. it wiuld have been dead by the time the buds would have been ready in late november. so if you don't know stick with indica and at least you will probably have a shorter flower time. now go buy a book and ask it any more questions that you have

I'm assuming you never tried to hide a pet or a bad report card or anything from your parents huh, THEY ALWAYS CATCH SHIT!! and trust and believe they will be :cuss:let alone if them boys show up at your door... , Look man I'm 31 I am a parent of a 12 y/o and I raised my 20 y/o brother since he was 13 and they got away with some things but not too oftly much, our (parents) "spider sense" kicks in with our own... You gotta already know that you'll get caught... DON'T DO IT..... My advise spend 5 or 10 bucks with your local dealer until you get out on your own...

fuck that don't listen to those bitches. i live with my parents and i've had 3 indoor grows so far so it is quite possible. if you could take a pic of your room i'l try to help, its kind of hard without knowing what your room looks like. try storing maybe some boxes somewhere and say your storing till you move out than empty a box and stick some cfl's in there and get growing. TLR shut the fuck up, your acting like youve never done anything to piss off your parents. man i wish i could rep- everyone of you fools trying to act like normls second parents.
