Old Newbie has questions...

I have been away from growing since the disco era. We grew in our closets and nobody (at least in my midwest town) cared or tried to grow without getting seeds.

Last year I vacationed on Vancouver Island and found out that the local meds are better than the ones my doctor is prescribing.

Anyway - NOW, I am a newbie hydro grower. I have questions- strange and dumb questions.

#1 - why is it that 90% of my forum searches come up with no results found?

#2 - Stealth - what do others do with their nutrient bottles, old boxes, unused rockwool..etc All those things that seem to attract the attention of friends & neighbors.

#3 - Starting my 2nd grow and I keep looking into my grow closet 2-3 times a day which would be OK but I keep doing to much like dropping the ph too fast or overfeeding. Does this obsession slow down after a few grows?

#4 - Smell - I flowered a couple of clones (supposedly haze) and got no smell - as far as I know. If I continue with just a few plants can I ignore the odor issue?

#5 - I was worried about how cool it is in my place but now I'm worried about the temps (80+ degrees) in my hydro reservoir - what can I do? I assume the heat is coming from the water pump - Any reason I can't move the pump outside the rubbermaid?

Thanks for listening - good luck!

#1 The search function here is pretty much useless. I usually use google. Try this - site:rollitup.org "whatever you want to search for" Just leave the quotes out.

#2 If you think there is the possibility that your garbage may be searched, just keep all your grow related trash together. Whenever you get a full bag or two drop it in an unwatched dumpster somewhere. Make sure there is nothing in the bags that can be traced back to you, ie receipts, mail, etc.

#3 I've been growing 6 months and I'm still guilty of loving my plants too much on occasion. Just remember, less is usually more.

#4 Depends on the strain you are growing, and your living situation. Better safe than sorry, especially if you have neighbors nearby.

#5 I'm a soil guy, can't help you there. I'm sure someone will come along with some more help there.
