Ok. I will give you the run down just now

Well basically decided to grow my own because the weed market is pretty unreliable where I live, constant doubts, bad quality product blah blah blah

Anyway I need some tips. I am currently growing 3 THC bombs that I sprouted from seeds. They are around a week and a half old at this point and they are nice and healthy so far. I am keeping them at my window as they are small at this point but I can't keep them there much longer. Once they start to get bigger the last thing I need is some cop driving by my apartment and noticing the big bushes in my window.
I was considering buying some lighting but I have a few problems when it comes to this

1. I am renting and my flat is supposed to get inspected every once in a while so I can't go all out and buy a full set up.

2. Money is tight so I can't afford to run any huge bulbs for 12 hours a day.

Anyone know of any cheap ways I can ensure my plants grow? Do I really need to fork out for those big wattage bulbs or would a bunch of conventional wattage florescent bulb do the trick?

C......F......L :thumbsup:

There's TONS of info on this site in regards to low budget, small space, beginner growing. There is even a Beginners section. :jointsmile:

Once you find out how to use Google to search the boards, you'll be off in no time.

But... growing in a rental property, especially one that performs periodic inspections, is a very tricky, risky biz-ky. :jointsmile: There are many variables you need to analyze. Your plants will smell, you will have "out of place" objects indoors (weird lighting schemes/plant supplies+fertilizers w/ no outdoor garden/ductaped cabinets/closets/power chords). Also, as trustworthy as a landlord may be, they have a key to your place and can go in anytime. You really have to think it through. It's not like you would just get your lease cancelled, you know?

P.S. Don't worry about running lights for 12 hours...... yet ;) If you grow indoors you need to run them for at least 18 at first, then you can worry about 12.

Stay :D and Keep :jointsmile:

Well Febtober,

If I were you I would move the setup out to the woods. But what do I know?
