Simple setup horizontal grow for 1 plant

I am asking about a potential grow and I have never grown before. As I am a noob I wont ask all of the noob questions I have because I realize I need to do some of the research myself. I just want to know if what I am describing sounds possible.

I live in a small flat on my own. I need this to be fairly stealthy. I have only 2 places to grow. One in my wardrobe and one under my bed. I would much prefer growing under my bed (stealth + the logistics of the room) even though I guess the wardrobe would be a better idea.

I want to grow an autoflowering plant. Just 1 plant as I probably dont have space for two. Also these plants seem to be shorter. Excluding the space for the lighting and the pot I have 120cm for the plant.

I want 1 autoflowering MJ plant growing horizontally under my bed in a 3gallon pot, lit by a 105watt CFL bulb (maybe 2 if necessary). If this does not sound possible or if it sounds like a bad idea then I would like to know.

With growing horizontally would I need to support the stem?

thanks

under the bed might be possible...but i wouldn't suggest it for a first grow...use your closet

The closet would be much better for actually growing in but it is much less stealthy and it is not near to any plugs. I would need to feed an extension cord in.

Perhaps I will wait for a better living situation then. I am just frustrated with the weed I get here so I wanted to take matters into my own hands.

thanks for the reply

It sounds like you'll also be frustrated with the weed you grow if those are your only 2 options to grow. a 105w CFL isn't going to yield much at all.

Well I have 2 105watt cfl bulbs. Would that not be sufficient for one plant?

As for yield, I have seen people get between 15g and 40g from auto plants. If I could get 15g I would actually be pretty happy with that.

I am moving out of this place in about 8 months so perhaps waiting would be best.

I think you will be disappointed with the weed you will grow for yourself with cfls and autoflowers, I know many people are getting ok results this way but you wanna make sure the weed you will grow for yourself will not disappoint you!.

I would chose 12/12 from seed with photo-period as opposed to autoflowers

250watts LED (or 400watts hps)

Supersoil

Then you are set, 100 days from today (if you germ the seeds today )

You will have the best medicine.

Stealth is nice, but having no room to work or water is a pain in the ass imo. I would go closet or just wait..... I'm sitting here staring at my bed, so now I looked underneath, and IDK growing under one seems kinda hard to me at least....good luck!

Unless you bed flips up into wall be kinda hard to Water.

What are you describing the dimensions of in that statement? I would imagine you're referring to your closet (wardrobe), otherwise what the hell kind of bed do you have?? I mean 120cm is about 4ft, so you must be talking about your closet, anyway, 4ft of height is plenty of room to work with, I would absolutely have to agree with everyone that the closet is a much better option, your 105W CFL's will work great for veg, however as mentioned before they won't yield anything like HID's will. With fluorescent's, if you can use a lot of them, in the right spectrums (Generally speaking 6500K for veg & 2700K for flower, however a mixed spectrum works best), especially HO & VHO T5's & PL-L's especially the 96-Watter's, keep them as close as possible without burning/bleaching and you can get pretty decent yields, it won't be as dense as HID bud but the quality is quite good. If your really apt about using fluorescent lights then I highly recommend you check out the 96W Bright Kits (PL-L's/Power Compact Fluorescent), their brighter than T5's yet cheaper, I was thinking about getting the 6-Pack for $315 and mounting them to a piece of plywood, check em out: (-->CLICK HERE<--)
