Ok, do you guys (or girls) think this is possible? If I grow one plant in a small space, whats the most minimal setup i could get away with? Like a box painted white on the inside and a lamp in it? How important is air flow to the grow? Im trying to grow just a few plants, but i dont want to attract attention to the grow, and i dont particularly want to shell out that much cash on it at the mo.

In case you hadnt guessed im completely new to growing pretty much anything. I have unlimited electricity so thats not a problem, 24 hour lighting is perfectly possible.

Any thoughts? Or some reasonably cheap grow kits any1 can recommend?

Thanks all

:joint:

1 plant isnt a good idea...if its male...all that work down the drain. Start with at least 3 or 4....and they still all could turn out to be male.

really you need 1 250hps or min 5 flos, anything other than that, isnt worth doing.
if i was you id get an old closet get a fan for airflo, and a 250 hps,or maybe a 150 hps, other than that, i dont know what to suggest.
if you just get a couple of flos, it will be ok, for the 1st few weeks of vegg, but no good to make buds, really. flos arnt no good for 12/12 unless you have plenty and know what your doing.
do the job rite, and dont waste your time, get a proper grow space and lite, if you need any help, just p.m us.

i got an old cabinet and cut out all the drawers. painted the inside white and built a nice solid door with weather stripping and a lock. painted the cabinet a nice color and made a light fixture out of a board and two fixtures with 4 sockets each with cfls 42 watts each.i had a total of eight bulbs but i would recommend using 2 100 watt compact flourscents found at your local home depot. i hung the lights with two small-link chains. also salvaged two old squrrel cage exhaust fans, one for exhuast and one for intake. i also put a small fans inside to keep the air moving over the plants. i bought a cheap light timer at home depot for $5.the cabinet is like 3 ft tall 2 1/2 ft wide and 2 ft deep. i only spent about $50-60 on it and it works well for me. its not hard to make a good growing cabinet as long as you do your homework. you always wanna do it right the first time! peace

you can grow small in small places

this is from some one named joejoejoe (you can searce for them)
here is top 44 about 60 days from sprout . 12/12 only .:weed::leaf:



12/12 from seed or veg to 2" or 4" would work great. You do need a shrort growing strain.

This is a good and cheep light set up for tight space (I veg to 18" with this).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

next is lights

A t-12 set up is cheap and works.

I have this set up I use from time to time.



They can grow into it for a few hours to a day they stay cool.

My set up is (4) 24" T-12's 20 watts each at 6500k it's a light blanket.

I also have some 2600ish k's (don't use but may add to my hps room for some side lights).
These thing may be old school but you can not f--- it up.



cfl's work also but make more heat, and you need to deal with heat.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next heat and freast air.

you will need to move air 12v computer fans or 120v 4" to 6" fans work if you stay small. the more and bigger you grow to more air you need to move and clean the smeel from.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

smell

you need to cancle it, the only way is a carbon filter. this is a good cheep one I use. https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/89078-diy-carbon-filter.html

if you don't like mine get a factor made one or look at these (mine is one) https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/90893-ultimate-odour-control-thread.html.

air freshener are nice add ons, but it's just dope smell with air fresh mixed in. get the carbon filter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

next is nute

you need them around week 2-4 soil my require to add at different times (Mircle Grow) has nute so don't add any for a mounth or so?

I use the FoxFarm system they all work just pick a system and do it. If you want MG there are tread to tell you how as well as people who say don't try. It work it just needs a few extras.

FoxFarm and one like General Hydroponics (Flora Nova) work with out extras but cost more. You need to pick one.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's the bare min. so good luch.
