I just started setting the grow room for my first plants. It's going to be tricky cause i still stay with my mum, but fuck it whats the worst she could say if she found em? But due to the fact i'm trying to keep it concealled and lack of cash, reason for growing in the first place. I don't have the best of lamps or facilities. I have a small spotlight lamp, it's an R50 40 watt bulb, is this worth using? I don't expect these plants to be amazing but it would still be worth it, the lamp has a long wire and i've fixed it over a pole inside the cupboard i'm using to adjust height, don't have actual plant pots just now so going to use the bottoms of bottles with holes in em for now till i get pots. I also plan to cover the inside of the cupboard with tin foil. I'm hoping this will work quite well if i'm careful, my biggest worry is i get busted by someone noticing the light from my cupboard and coming home to find they've been destroyed. The seeds came from a thai strain i had, my friend has been growing the same strain outdoors and they are budding nicely, and don't grow to tall. All comments good/bad will be appreciated to help me grow some decent gear. I'll leave some pics of the grow room. The plant is my mates outdoor.

First, don't grow in your parents' house without their knowledge and consent. Second, that light isn't going to do anything except stretch your seedlings rendering them useless. Go read some grow guides and get some basic info before asking questions on here/

I know all about like hid lights and stuff, just no access to em, was gonna test four seeds see how they went, got 36 in total. Do you think that bulb would do until i got a decent light, next 2-3 weeks, i have a friends house i could prob do this at but would rather do it myself. I havn't germinated any seeds as i thought this would be pointless if the bulb was insufficent. still need some decent soil too

I'm gonna not do this, its daft and a waste of seeds. I'll keep em for now. my mates outdoor ones r ok, if you look closeley theres some purple on em now. The weathers too shit now to do any more outdoors.

well i've had some talks with my mum and shes agreed to let me grow in the house, and don't worry i wont be using the spot lamp, i get it, it was a stupid idea but i was desperate severe drought down this way ive not had any ganj for over a week now. i wont be starting this for a while because i need to get cash for some decent lights as now that i dont have to be secretive about it i can do it right and can buy some decent seeds that i can be sure are feminised ( cheers for pointin out the male, thot it may have been but werent sure only ever seen adult plants well into the flowering period ) When i get this started i'll get pics up and i'll get someone with some growing experience to giv me a hand as you can probably tell that i'm not exactly an expert on this and you can only learn so much from reading up on it. Hopefully next time i wont look as much of a cunt and end up with something like this.
