A mate of mine gave me a bunch of seeds the other day. I'm into my gardening (I'm currently growing 2 bonsai trees from seed and also have 6 baby Christmas trees on the go- also grown from seed). I get a lot of pleasure growing things, but I think I'll be getting even more pleasure from growing the beautiful weed!
With seeds in hand, I began to ponder where abouts in my house I could grow them. I'm a total novice when it comes to growing weed. I tried it once years ago by simply germinating a couple of seeds and sticking them in a couple of pots on the window sill. They died quickly because of lack of sun (it aint that sunny here in the UK). So this time I want to do it right. I spent hours researching growing tips and how-to's. I watched the entire series of 'Ready, Set, Grow' on YouTube (here is the 1st in the series in case you're interested):

I realised that I had a perfect place for them in my home. In the spare room (which is used as a storage room) there is a (very random) shower cubicle. I have no idea why the previous owner decided to install a single stand-alone shower in a bedroom. There's a perfectly good bathroom in the house. We've never used this shower and I figured it'd be a perfect site for a new grow area.
The shower cubicle has everything. Ventilation (the walls to the unit don't go all the way to the ceiling), drainage, white 'easy clean' floor, and it's discreet!. I set about making it into a grow-area.
This is my blog about my growing attempt. I realise I'm not by any stretch of the imagination an expert, and would really appreciate any pointers and advice. My intention is to grow a couple of nice plants for personal use.
I just want to document my experience so that a) I can help others learn from my mistakes and b) so that hopefully you people can give me some advice!
I hope that at least one person finds this useful!
Peace,
