please help !!!! (first grow)

okay. so i have been atemting to grow bag seeds for almost a year and never had any luck. but finally i got one that poked out of the top of the soil. and im more exited than you can even imagine!!!! but now i needa keep it alive. which really scares me because ive never been able to keep any kind of plant alive, im going to post picures of it in about 45 minutes ...but can any body PLEASE tell me how to keep it alive???i already know it needs heat,water,air,and soil to survive n but im just using a desk lamp right now. p.s. (i cant build or buy any green house,hydroponices system. only things i could find at like a walmart.has to be soething really simple. and there are other peole in the house that cant know about this.) i really need help with this as, i really dont want to loose this plant. there will be pics in just a bit. thanks,paul martin

If there are other people in the house that can't know about it then you should rip it up...unless they are people you really hate. Why else would you put them at risk of a federal drug manufacturing charge? If you insist on keeping it at least put it under cfl lighting.

ok first ask your self if this plant from some bomb ass weed if your wanting to put the time and a little only into it why not make its some 50s weed or medical i got my seeds from attitude seed bank also using the computer lamp thing kinda sucks but use a nice cfl light look for one with a blue spectrum for veg and soft white for flower. where are you growing it how much room you got? if you need to have this grw cheap i would get the seeds from attitude so its bomb to sell or small why put money into bag seeds lol
if its a small area like 2feet by 2 feet look into making the walls reflect the light if you got get mylar then next best thing is some cheap flat white paint works good also since your using soil not hydro remember never use mirical grow soil its on time release it can burn your plants look for something organic you dont need any nutes till it is older
so ill wait to see the pics you post to tell some more lol hope this helped for now

Umm yeah. If you don't get caught, your roommates will find out. I'm 7weeks into flower and you get a slight smell at the front door(plants upstairs in back room). Growing a plant is pretty simple if you're attentive, but think long term here; You're on a 100+ day adventure here with this plant, You're going to need atleast 3 CFLs to get this thing to grow at a decent rate- the less light the longer it takes to grow and make shitty buds. a fan running to give fresh air and regulate temp. And decent soil- I tried Miracle Grow on this last grow(I wanted to grow from seed and spend less than $150 on 3 plants), but it started off okay, but as the bigger the plants got the more problems they had with nute burn(you dont know what/how much is being released and when) and bad water retention by poor soil consistency.

If you manage to make it past the first month without your roommates seeing lights setup around a corner of your room, and your demeanor changing to that Lord of the Rings golem guy, obsessing about being 'alone in your room' and becoming psychotic about your privacy.... They'll still notice the smell seeping thru the walls. Think about it. an eighth-quarter ounce has a very noticeable smell when your bag/box is open- the smell fills the room. Now you have a 2ft plant growing it fresh and being baked by lights so it has to be cooled off by a fan- which just sends that sweet stank wafting through entirety of your house- if you're growing in an apartment you're neighbors may know also.

Get the roomies on board, then chance the police, if you so feel. Otherwise grow a couple weeks till it looks cute and cuddly and harmless, then have a family meeting with the roomies and give the plant a seet of it's own- like its a person. And make sure your name it. And if they still aren't down- tell them it could be a man so you may have to kill it anyway! That should help..

Best of luck to you
