Can you get decent results with with them?

squeezing a potentially 10-foot plant into a foot and a half ? ... what results would you expect ? ... you'll be taking serious legal risks for a 'next-to-nothing' yield ... :twocents:

Dont be sarcastic
I dont need much i only smoke a little bit, a few joints every few weeks.
The only bud i can get now is just a bit of average toot.

if you lst 2 plants in there 12/12 from clone or seed you could get about an ounce or a little over

You're mistaking reality for sarcasm. And the warning he gave you about penalty VS. payoff is right on point.
If you have limited space, you are better off using a speaker cabinet or an old nightstand or something like that where you can have at least a few cubic feet of space while still hiding in plain sight.
it can be done on a small scale, but the time and effort you are going to put into it for what you'll get out, you'd probably still end up buying bags on a somewhat regular basis.
Just my 2 cents.

I was wondering the exact same thing?! too bad the PC sounds like a bad idea. If i were you i would take the next step-up. I hear that they sell a "mini-fridge" and it is a slightly larger grow box. And it is also very expensive, but if you have the money more power to ya. Good luck with your grow

Then obviously a PC grow would be great for you.

will you please read the thread before saying go big or go home? seriously, the guy smokes 1 joint every few weeks. why should he be going for anything larger than a PC grow?
Lets not even say he gets the OZ that was quoted above, let's say he gets a half.
1jnt=2wks half=14g
1jnt=1g, assuming he doesnt smoke heavy when he does
you're looking at 28wks of stash.
now yes there are a lot of variables, but the point is that the man doesnt smoke alot. and definately doesnt need anything much larger than a pc grow. :jointsmile:

i did read the post. That's how i was able to address topics specifically discussed in the OP post. All i was saying is that it's a pretty big risk for something that may not even work out. I then suggested a slightly bigger cabinet that may have a better chance of producing even a small amount.
I'm all for "Go Small and Stay home". By all means keep it personal. Just use something that's got a fighting chance. That's all i'm saying.
but thanks anyways.

i'm gonna have to disagree at least in theory. you do some things with plants. LST and ScROG anyone. i've got a grow going that is a box not much bigger than a PC case (~26" tall). this is my first grow, so i can't comment on yield as of yet. but my plants are small and very bushy (LST). you can check the log in the sig. to check it out. i keep it updated regularly. i'm not trying to pimp my thread, but i'm just letting you guys know that there are some similarities that some might be interested in following.
on a different but same not, i will be building a PC case for someone (on these boards, that has been sworn to a grow log). it is to be built with stealth as the number one conern. someone linked to the mr. nice grow (or whatever his name is) on myspace that sells the PC setups for $300, so the challenge was to build one as good or better for less. the factors are:
-PC case that locks(obviously)
-digital therm/hydr.
-timer
-lighting (CFLs, 4x2700K, 4x6500K)
-cooling
-odor control (might be done by end user)
-adjustable screen (for ScROG)
i think that was it. it'll all be in good fun. maybe we can finally inject some facts into this debate.
anyone interested in doing a speaker cabinet?
what about using lowrider (w/LST or ScROG as well?) maybe something like lowryder #2 x AK47?
"This is an f1 cross between a Lowryder #2 and an automatic AK47 in which the two parents strongly exhibit their best genetic traits: high resin production, the fruity aroma (of a carefully selected Lowryder #2 phenotype), and the size and branching of the AK47 automatic.
This poly-hybrid is fully auto-flowering and matures in 70-75 days from germination, reaching optimal size if given enough light (intensity and time). The best conditions are 20 hours of light and 4 of dark during the entire cycle. Outdoors the best time is may-august, but it's easy to do multiple cycles per season, until November."
production is said to be 28-42 grams. could be something done for fun as well?
if that's all slowlow can do, then damnit do it to the best of your pc case growing ability!

that's what i'm talking about! :thumbsup:
i got 2nd dibs on one of those bad boys after the first trial run.:rastasmoke:
btw, im the one who posted the link to the myspace acct.
and for anyone who would like to do some more research on the pc grow case, as you can tell it's not much of a hot topic here at canncom, you can go over to ic mag forums. they have quite a few pc grow logs going over there. :jointsmile:
edit: just notice that you are also from TX headshake. could be neighbors;) are you apart of your local norml/texas norml?

i'm up north. you? no, but i need to join!!! i suppose the website is the best place to do that?
i'm researching parts as we speak. i have an idea about putting screen around 3 of the 4 walls and doing a vertical ScROG. hang the bulb(s) vertical in the middle. hmm.

yeah, i'm also from up north. but not panhandle north. we just might be neighbors. :rastasmoke:
but i like the idea of the vertical lighting. what kind of light are you thinking about running for the vertical?
im picturing a small hps with a DIY cooltube, and 2 plants on each side. but i don't really know how much space a cooltube would take up.
i'd like to hear what you're plans are with this bad boy as you go along. hopefully some other more intelligent folks will chime in here and we might be able to help.
:woohoo:
edit: why can we not send pm's on this board? maybe i'm just blind but i can't find a way to message people on this board.

i'm in dallas king.
i was thinking about the vertical lights. a small HPS might work. i don't have much experience with them so i'd have to test it out. i definitely think that it could be a good approach though, with some tweaking of course!
more intellect would be nice. i mean everyone can't go big, so why not research how a good portion of the board probably grows.

hey that's cool. im in the dallas area too.
the HPS was just a dream i was picturing when you said vertical. haha.
but what were you thinking of running vertically? maybe you could run a couple of these vertically 125W Sunblaster 6400K CFL Bulbs | Residential/Commercial Energy Saving Lights (http://www.accessdiscounts.com/sku-69201.html)
oh and DFWNorm'l is having a Frisbee Golf Tournament in Arlington. if you would like to attend i could send you a link with more info on it.
