First time medicinal user looking for strain/ setup info.

I should start by saying that I have a rare disorder known as Spinal Muscle Atrophy type 3 and am seeking to compliment my rather useless Celebrex prescription (which increases my already high risk of heart disease by 50%) with a good painkilling strain. I have extensively researched the topic of indoor marijuana cultivation and am well aware of risks in obtaining seed, electricity, odor, etc. I have also been reading these forums for a few weeks now and have picked up a lot. I would like to lay out my setup and ask for opinions from more experienced members if it's not too much trouble. I understand my ideas aren't ideal, but I'm looking to come in under a hundred USD. Have grown bagseed, looking to step
it up.
I have recently acquired my first apartment, leasing for a year, and would like to setup a small 1-2 plant grow in my closet. Currently I am planning on using a tall white kitchen trash can with two 26w cfl bulbs suspended above, one warm and one cool white, with the ability to raise and lower according to height of plants. My medium will be soil, most likely a miracle grow organic or something similar. Planning on using bone and blood meal as slow release organic additives, as i have been using them with tomatoes and peppers to great results.

Currently I have no plans for ventilation since the bulbs burn relatively cool and container will be open at the top. I am aware of proper watering procedure as well as typical light schedules for veg and flowering stages.

I do have a few questions though:
1. Will non ventilation in this setup pose a problem?
2. Will odor be an issue with 1-2 plants? (College apartments, high turnover, high crime)
3. Although it would affect yield, would a 12-12 schedule throughout help with space constraints (or perhaps a bonsai method would be better)?
4. Finally, is there a suggested strain from Nirvana for muscle/joint pain or anxiety relief?

Hi and welcome,

I just bought some White Castle seeds from Nirvana that claim to be good for pain management. I have not tried it yet....but am growing it right now.

From their site:

"Nirvana's White Castle is an F1 marijuana hybrid of two absolute winners. With a White Widow mother and our award-winning Ice for a father, White Castle marijuana seeds are as outrageous as one would expect. The sturdier, denser structure of Ice really thickens up the often light and wispy White Widow buds. White Widow's flavour, strength, and social high remain very present in this cannabis strain. Medical marijuana users are extremely fond of White Castle for its pain-killing properties."

Wish I could help more...Good luck with your grow.

Peace

Thank you anomalies, hadn't considered cloning on so little light and that answers most of my questions regarding light, ventilation, and medium, very good read.

Lowphat, I looked through all the reviews I could find and believe I'll be settling on Blue Mystic for neutral odor, medicinal properties and ease. Good luck with White Castle, I was torn between her and the Mystic, hopefully I'll be getting her when I'm more comfortable in my abilities.

I believe I will be using 12-12 for my first plant and seeing how it turns out, if I like the results, I may turn the second into a mini SoG (assuming I can pick up cloning on my first attempt). Would love to hear more opinions though.

Hello there, I'm currently growing Blue Mystic for those exact reasons. I have terrible back pain and have been able to be prescription drug free for awhile substituting herb for those garbage painkillers. Im just under 1 month of growing it out, and it has yet to release any smell whatsoever. I know this means little as most plant dont smell until the first few weeks of flowering, but the Wappa Im also growing DOES smell lol.

Any Indica dominant strain will get the job done. I like strains that are in between very strong, and weak. A one-hitter-quitter is nice every once in awhile, but you cant get shit done during the day with that. So hopefully Blue Mystic will allow me to work pain free.

Good luck in your grow!
