I have alot of questions... i am growing but i have to hide it.. im growing one plant.. just to start off to see how i do... 1st question... do i have to use HPS lamps or any fancy lighting for just one plant? or can i just use 60W light bulbs from walmart. another question is... does the plant have to be in an enclosed space or can it be just on a floor in my room? if not do u have any suggestions on something i can make that is small enough to hide... well thats it i think... please let me know.

Check out the Grow FAQ.

To answer your question on lighting; you will not want to use a standard incandescent light bulb from a grocery store. What you can use, that should be as easily accessible, are the compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), which look similar to a cork screw. These use lower wattage, arent as hot, and put off as much, or more light in some cases. Now, if you can afford to purchase a 250w, 400w, or larger HPS light system the go for it! I think I got my 400w system for around $130.00, give or take a few.

After you've read into the FAQ a bit on how to get started, check back and let us know if you have any other questions.

Good luck.

Brock,

My suggestion is that if you have roommates, then you tell them what you've got going on. Be mindful that in the event that you break the law, they're also liable for possession and cultivation. They may be able to slide out of the charges a bit easier than you, but you still put them at risk. Be responsible.

It doesnt make you lame... It makes you irresponsible, immature, and a number of other things.

Really, how many of us did some stupid shit when we were kids that could have, or did get our parents into trouble that they didnt deserve? I was a pretty good kid in retrospect, even after some of the high points of my stupidity.

If you're going to bash someone with words, take the time to leave an explanation other than "You're lame."

What if its a case of like...lets say George Costanza living at home with his parents on Seinfeld...could he grow bud and not be lame??

Or the guy in Weekend at Bernies...he lived with his parents and I bet he grew nugs. Bernie didnt think he was lame.

LOL.

squigggs stop being an ass, even if he does live with his parents i think you need some parents more than anyone else here. now we all signed up to this amazing forum for the same reason...to grow some dank buds:mrgreen: yo! so leave the guy alone he'll tell his "parents" when the time is right.

I hope you get lots of satisfaction from tossing rude comments at people.

The fact that you cant bring anything to the table other than putting someone down says enough for 99% of the folks that read and participate in these forums.

If we get to make blind assumptions about people that we dont know and based on a few lines of typed conversation, then I think Squigggs loses at life.

Take a couple pain killers, smoke a bowl, boot some black tar... Whatever tickles your pink to calm yourself down. Next time you post, why not try to say something productive.

ok brock you will want roughly 10,000 -8,000 lumens per plant is what iv'e heard thats about 8 26 watt cfls and will prob cost you around 25 dollars. an encloser will prob help a lot especially if it is mylar or flat white paint. but if you do enclose your grow area, you will want good ventilation. try to keep lights about 1 to 2 inches away from your plants. ok? thats about it from me. i know i haven't covered much so theres a lot more to know. i'm still learning but while i do, i also present my info to the table. peace:peace: and gl
