im 18 and growing in my room for the first time. The idea was that i would give my plants light when i go to bed (no one would enter my room if they think i am asleep) and then in the morning take the lights down again and give them 11 hours darkness in my cupboard. The problem is, i am now on my summer holidays before starting college, and so i can go to bed at 10 and wake up at 11 or 12 quite nicely, enabling me to give the plants alot of light during vegative stage. However, just realised, at college i need to wake up at 7am, and so to be able to get 12 hours light, i would need to need to go to bed every night at 7pm. that would b very suspicous! any help? only reason my dad comes into my room is to collect dirty dishes and glasses and to hang my clothes up, what should i do? thanks. btw i got a 600w hps with reflector for my 2 foot grow space lol overkill:eyesmoke:

I suggest waiting until you're on your own schedule, in your own place and paying your own bills.

just thought id mention that SWIM was kicked out of their house at 18yo for growing MJ, even though the parent had previously known of, benefited from, and approved of large scale MJ grows in the same house and closet. The grow that did them in was one measly plant that was about 3 weeks into veg
true story

Oh well. That's what I have to say. There are too many things you've got ahead of you to worry about a little dope. Save the idea for a while. Stick with the shitty pot for now.

Its a really bad idea to grow secret pot in your parents home. If it were your house and your kid was growing without permission I'm sure you would feel the same way. I'm a strong advocate of growing herb (obviously), however, take the risk yourself. Don't bring your parents into it unwillingly. Thats all I have to say.

Ditto to pretty much everything everybody has said so far. You're not taking the risk by growing in somebody else's house, you're putting the risk on your parents, regardless of your age. All that matters in the eyes of the law is who owns the house (with the possible exception of the house being rented out). The penalties are far to stiff in most states and countries to be doing something like that without the homeowners knowledge and permission.

Oh and btw, as someone else already said... the answer is painfully simple, GROW UP AND CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF AND YOUR DAD WON'T NEED TO COME INTO YOUR ROOM!

imagine getting caught and getting kicked out of school cause your parents boot you out of the house too....

Then you can flip burgers and keep your dealer in business.

Or........ you wait a few years until you have your own flat....


Just sayin...

dude, if you think that a lil light leaking out from under a closet door is something to be nervous about, what are you going to do once the plants get into flower and start to stink up the whole house like a weed factory? odor knows no boundaries and is not going to just hang out in your room with the plants, its going to penetrate every nook and cranny of the house.. even with carbon filters and ona, smell is a major major factor when growing mj, and everyone in that house is going to know what is going on in that closet no matter what time you go to bed or wake up..
i agree with everyone else, just wait a few years till your on your own and in your own place..

Yea man I have nightmares about my parents findin out somehow and I have my own place...I think you should really just wait...And BTW I haven't seen anyone say a 600w HPS (I have one) is going to up your dad's electricity bill by like $50/month and he is definitely going to be like "wtf?" I pay my own utilities and trust me you notice when something is out of the ordinary.

not to mention the heat in a 2 foot grow area. Better hope there's not anything flammable nearby. A teacher at my old highschool burned his house down growing marijuana. You have to be really careful, especially in confined spaces. Please, if you're going to grow, do it outside...

seriously if you want to grow weed then move out in to your own place, your 18 your old enough to make that decision, i see here alot young kids wanting to grow weed in there parents house without even thinking about what kind of shit they can get there parents in, stop thinking about yourself for a minute and think about the trouble you can get your parents in, at the end of the day your parents are the ones helping you out, they have given you food a roof over your head etc... if you desperately want to grow then do it outdoors away from your parents house, peace
