Need ideas for personal grow

CO2, what can I expect if I buy it in spray-form, and spray my plants with it? I haven't searched RIU forums yet for info, sorry about that, but could you possibly try to summarize the advantage/disadvantages? My grow area is 2,5 x 2,5 x 3 metres. In case that makes any difference, thought I'd tell you.


Let's say you'll do a stealth-grow, like in a maxi-tower desktop PC-case. You do realize, that the amount of light you'll be able to use depends on a) the size of said tower/box and b) the capabilities to get its heat out (the light), and pref. an intake at 50% power of the outgoing fan (or whatever).

Do you think it would cause any suspicion running a 600w light and all the fans and such? my normal electric bill is $10-15 per month... that light will probably triple it right there...


*EDIT* just calculated, it would cost $24 per month to run the light. So I'd be jumping from 15 to 40 per month. Do you think that's suspicious? I guess at that point I could just say I cook a lot lol

I have been doing research for about 2 yrs now on and off and always get discouraged because people either don't give enough info or overwhelm you with way too much info lol having ADHD I learn a lot better with hands-on but I don't personally know anyone who grows.. Doing my best and just asking as many questions as possible to make sure I don't miss anything. I really just want quality bud without breaking my wallet but yeah I plan to get that tent kit I linked you guys to a couple comments back and planning to do soil... I did see that a lot of people seem to recommend fox farm. PH is something new to me though, I will have to do my studies on that too lol. thanks brother!

Never heard of CO2 in a can. I would think you could expect nothing. If running it you really need the proper setup, typically a totally sealed room. Its really not worth the bother for newbs and small growers, thats why I'm not right now lol.

Well thanks but I was talking about OP spraying CO2 on his plants, thats what I was referring to. But yup there are buckets. Not sure they actually do much but worth a tryI guess. With out the room being sealed I'm skepticle that they work.

It won't raise any suspicion at all you can have a life change ( girlfriend w/kids, faminly from out of town staying with you) the point is as long as you pay your bill every month they won't bother you.

you're completely right man, thanks... maybe I should go big with a 1000w then??? haha joking I wont push it. that can wait til I move

Yeah all that good stuff is actually in that package I linked to a page back.

Looked up white indica.. If its White widow mixed with anything that will always be great. Says its a high yielder too. What kind of yield are you getting from your setup? also are you using that foxfarm soil?

Do you ever feel like you become "immune" since you keep smoking the same strain all the time.. Or is that all in my head? I swear that I need to change it up every week or I can literally smoke 5 grams and not feel a thing. :/ My friends say I smoke myself sober lol..dunno if that's possible either

The White Indica sounds nice! I hear there is no stretch. May have to give it a go. How many days from flip to finish?

Budley Doright said:

I get immune as well and having a hard time finding a strain that Id be happy with to clone. 40 years of smoking pot is probably the reason lol.

I actually asked about that on the last page:
https://www.rollitup.org/t/need-ideas-for-personal-grow.886825/page-2#post-11981806

Would it be overpowering in the hallway outside my suite even with my bedroom door and the main door always being closed? Nobody cares about current smell and i have party sessions here..

Yes! it would be.....all these people are giving great advice..but not great for a beginner...the rule of thumb is....KISS...keep it simple a 400 watt hid can produce around 12 oz in 4 months...when you know what your doing...get your feet wet and keep it simple for now and learn from your mistakes, we all make them and you will too...one suggestion, I would use DR Earth 5-5-5 for veg, has everything you need and you can't burn the plants...then for flower use a flower formula from DR Earth...DR Earth is expensive, but well worth the money.

B1994_ said:

thanks I will look into that!


And Budley Doright I guess we don't need to worry about authorities with growing anymore Unless it takes Mr trudeau 2 yrs to legalize lol (wouldn't be surprised)
