Here's another little tid bit.....I LOVE to just use Veg nutes after the first 3 weeks. up till day 40-45. THEN i just start using plain water and molasses. 1 tblspn per 2L bottle. And use that right till finish. Because the cycle is shorter without a vegging period, the plants have less time to use up the natural nutrients in the soil, so by the time day 76-90 come around, your plants will have effectivly burned up all the nitrogen from the vegging nutes, and budding out with the available phophporus and potassium left over. It works out well. However if you wanna use blooming nutes, flush for 2 water cycles after veg nutes, and only use then till 2 weeks before you cut her down. During those last 2 weeks, just water only or with molasses.
i run 250 watts of cfls and a 12mm fan it hasn't raised the electric more than ten or fifteen bucks.
i've been gone for a while, how did the seed issue turn out?
Here's another concept for CFL's.i`m gonna aim for at least 50W per plant, i want yield I`d like to be as close to 100w per plant as possible. Nothing better than more light i say except for even more light
Here's another concept for CFL's.
4, 42W CFL's....and 4 plants.
1 bulb per plant right? WRONG!!!!!!!!
IT's 2 bulbs per plant depending on placement.
4 bulbs and 3 'Y' splitters will enable you to have lights on a 45deg angle. And place EACH PLANT under the space between bulbs. Essentially letting each plant share the light from 2 bulbs.
1 y split holds the other 2 y spliters then your bulbs are plugged into the ends. creating 45 dergee arms in an 'x' pattern.
If you LST every plant to be at the same level it will be quite easy for you to keep even light on the cannopy.
Anyways hopefully i paitned enough of a picture. IF you want a visual, look at my shade from my first grow journal.
No i wasn't aware of this. Are you sure the seeds weren't HIDDEN?? Did they send you anything unrelated??? like T-shirt? or piece of clothing? Sometimes they sew the seeds right into the bottom of a shirt seam, or Hat Brim. Not sure what Nirvana's proceedure is.will definately be going for that. I was gonna try something of the sorts, but hadn`t thought to put splitters into splitters. Thanks for the continued help mate, i can`t wait to put everything into practice
Also, in a different story, as you may remember, Nirvana agreed to re-send my order a few weeks ago, and i got the nutes and peat pellets, but not the actual seeds. And amazingly enough (for me at least) they once again offered to re-send my order. I think that is very cool of them, though i don`t really expect them to get here this time either.
I'm sure your being thanked well for your advice here!!Dude don't do this...I have been wanting to do my indoor grow for a long time and have waited till I rented a house from someone living out of state.
The amount of money you are going to have to spend on fans, lights, soil, nutes, ect is not worth the risk from what you will yield.
If you are going to do it might as well grow all 5 seeds you are getting; no difference getting caught with 1-2 or 5...I know where I live 1-5 plants is the same deal. Might be something to think about.
Again, think about this...If you live in a luxury dorm, you must have money...Go buy an oz and wait till better circumstances...Don't ya think he would have instead of carrying out a thread over 160 posts long?
I have waited through many apartments till I got to my current situation. Take the seeds and put them in the fridge and rent a house next year. I live in a big house and there are days I still get a whiff(granted I just have rudimentary odor control).
Good luck whatever you choose...If you decide to do it still, listen to these ppl they helped me all along my first grow.
This last bit was the best advice you had to give.
No i wasn't aware of this. Are you sure the seeds weren't HIDDEN?? Did they send you anything unrelated??? like T-shirt? or piece of clothing? Sometimes they sew the seeds right into the bottom of a shirt seam, or Hat Brim. Not sure what Nirvana's proceedure is.
So they sent your order again? So you got doubles of Nutriends and Peat Pellets?
However, i'm a lil jealous now..LOL. I just hope MINE make it to you. If it works I'll use the method for others.
Also be patient its a plant it takes a time to grow... their your little babys
Many smart people that own thier own houses still worry about a small closet grow getting busted. And you think you have it figured out how to do it safely and without worries in a college dorm. Please share this vast store of knowledge you have on not getting caught.Ok, let`s get straight to the point. Me an my roomie want to get our growing going. Now we`ve recently ordered 5 feminized Bubblelicious seeds complete with growing kit from nirvana-shop.com
I`ve gone about this forum back and forth an have found plenty of good advice and new info.
HOWEVER... we only want to grow a single pot, maybe 2. As in 1 or 2 plants, nothing more. So i`m looking for advice on how to grow a small scale operation such as this and in our dorm room nonetheless
Worth mentioning, we have a big, big room, lots of space, just the two of us inside, other than the cleaning ladies that come every thursday, no one we don`t want in comes in.
My plan was pretty basic really. Buy the seeds, the nirvana growing kit, 2-3 pots, GROW THE GANJA. Seems like it`s a bit more complicated than that though, so if you would, i`d very much appreciate some help and tips here.
EDIT: once i get things together and start growing, i will post step by step how i went about setting my plant up and if it is successfull -as in my plants grows healthy and pretty- i will separate it into a post of how i did it, in hope that if someone else needs a small scale stealth build like i do, it may come in handy. So please, let`s all work together and make this project into a success
Ja ja bless my brothers
I'm sure your being thanked well for your advice here!!
Considering you didn't read ANY OF THIS thread.
My friend here has taken ALL risks into account. And has carefully look at things from all angles for his given situation. And since your so Ill experienced, how can you determine what his yield will be?
ill experienced...i have been growing outdoors for 10 years and been reading all I can about indoor since I decided to do it a couple years ago. I am just about at harvest under similar lighting so I can make some guesses from that.
And how do you know what he's payin for his gear? Maybe he gets it all cheap from a second hand store. Some people are resourceful, and don't BUY everything brand new.
there are many consumables, soil, nutes, even activated carbon plus all the materials for your box (unless your using scrap wood and hardware--which would look out of place in a luxury dorm room)
since your doing CFL I also don't think you would want to use used bulbs--which is some of the largest costs
Not to mention after you have everything, you can use it again and again. And are you livin in his country or province? How do you know what his local laws are to tell him that 1 plant is the same as 5 so it don't matter.
that is why I said I don't know the laws where you are...my point was that it doesn't go up in increments of 1
It really gets me HOW QUICK people are to judge and TOSS OUT opinions without being fully informed.
Finally sorry for being concerned of someone's well-being...Man I'm such a dick for not wanting someone to screw up their life for weed

Hope all goes well and if you get busted hope your judicial system is good in Romania.
chill, chill mates i appreciate both the help and the support from both of you, let`s not turn this into an argument though. there, feel better? lol
I found this while browsing the web, thought i`d share it with my mate from Ontario
In London, Ontario it is against the city by-law to allow your grass in your front yard to grow any taller then a inch and a half. If you do, the city will come by and cut it for you then give you a fine for $200.
Now i know why you don`t let your grass grow tall mate, i wouldn`t want someone else trimming my green either
Thanks for the good wishes Stoney much appreciated
Not being negative, just realistic. As far as mothers go. His should snatch him by the ear and woop his ass. He is wasteing his parents money, the schools time and his future,Like I have said 3x in this 2 month thread. HE IS GONNA grow these seedz, so HELP him, dont bring ur negativity in here. Stealth grows, heard of them, well thats what this is. He needs pointers, NOT MOTHERS!!!
