Journey to a successful grow [Help me, please]

First off, let me introduce myself.
Hello! I've been smoking Marijuana for a while now, but I want to take the next step and learn to grown them myself. I live in an apartment, so stealth is key! I plan to buy Royal dwarf auto seeds so I don't have to worry about the grow getting too tall. I have two options here... I can grow it on my balcony, or i could grow it indoors.

If I grow it on my balcony, will that be enough sunlight?
And if I grow it indoors, are spacebuckets a good option?

I plan to keep my grow small, so two dwarfs at a time is what I'm looking at here.

Thank you for reading! Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Depends on your weather situation, indoors is good in off season but if you have the ability to take advantage of the sun and gorgeous weather, I'd go outdoor anyday. But just be cautious. You don't want the po-po seeing that girl. Autos can still get pretty tall, in the right conditions you could still have a 4 ft plant. I don't know much about the dwarf strain so pardon my ignorance if I'm wrong. Also, why not do both? Experiment what works better for you.

That's my input for now,
Stay green brother!

As above, I would go outdoors if the weather is right, and if you want to keep the plant low and small, I would recommend looking in Low Stress Training (the only training method recommended for autos). This gives the plant an even canopy, encourages horizontal rather than vertical growth, increase tops (budding sites) and more light gets evenly distributed over the plant. This means a smaller, fatter plant, and more cannabis at the end! Win/win

Agreed, depends on environment and other factors.

Space buckets work great, but if it's your first grow I might recommend a larger space just so you have more room to work and examine. I know i appreciated having the room to LST and take photos.

Indoors you really have to provide a perfect environment, which I find easier to maintain in a larger space. More room for error, haha.

Happy growing brother.

Click to expand...

depends a bit on the way your balcony faces if your only getting a morning or afternoon sun your grow isn't going to be amazing.. its best if your balcony faces N or S and the sun rises and sets over the balcony.. but if your balcony faces E or W it can be a little less appealing to do a balcony run. still doable though.

or you could be like where i live and have not a single freaking tree around the house anywhere.. we face east and west but the sun breaks over my roof about 10 am an beats on the house all day.. so all my past porch grows were good... not as good as being out in the open area but worth doing.

Hey guys,
Thank you for the advice. I live in Hawaii so the weather is not a problem! I think I will grow it on my apartment balcony as it seems to be the cheapest way to grow. I just hope the sunlight hitting my balcony is good enough.

In Hawaii non the less, I wish..you will be straight, if you can get 5 to 6 hrs of sun on those girls they will thrive, even at 3 to 4 direct sun(late morning to afternoon), I think you can have awesome experiance with outdoor....please take pics of your progress because I'm very interested now
