I am fed up with constant pill popping for chronic neck pain and overall stress so Im gonna try growing a little relief for myself. The info on this forum gave me the motivation to give it a try. haven't toked in yrs but my extreme tower showed up in the mail today (nothin to put in it lol). Ordered a 90w ufo from a good guy on these forums...... Wouldnt know where to get a seed if it were laying in front of me so i got some from Attitude.

Mandala Seeds Beyond the Brain
Paradise Nebula Feminized
1 free each of the below
Reserva Privada Kandy Kush Feminized
3Dinafem Seeds Powerkush
2DNA Genetics RockLock Feminized

This will need to stealthy so I will build a box in the garage.
I would like to do hydro then aero. This is just for a small quantity for me. I figure maybe twice the size of a pc tower. 15" front to back x 19 wide x 30 tall.

I would like to keep a mother plant but dont want to risk losing the farm over it.......if ya know what I mean. Anyway Thanks for reading. Thanx for all the great info. Ill keep yall posted as the supplies show up. Ill also post some pics as I get goin, that yall can amuse yourselves with. Maybe you can throw in some pointers also along the way.


Thanks again

My first advice would be to stick with one strain. (muti-strain grows will drive you nuts...:D..)
( 5 different girlfriends at the same time...bad ju-ju juana )...:pimp:

Thanks for the advice. I will most likely start out with just a plant or two as my seed supply is quite limited. I am reading all I can on hydroponics before I get started.

Its a good idea to start with just one plant.

You should look into LST or another type of training to keep your plants short inside your small cab. The 90w ufo wont have much penetrating power so nice short trained plants are your best bet.

Attitude is the best for seeds in mine and many others oppinions... good choice.


Also stick with indica dom or pure indica plants as they are the best for chronic pain (i also suffer from it). They also grow much shorter and finish faster than sativas.

Ive grown in a pc case before. It is much more difficult and challanging than normal. I use my pc box as a nursery now.

The link you posted is a very nice setup in a case.


You said it needs to be stealthy... dont forget about odor. You dont want people thinking you have a pet skunk in the garage.

I will not be limited to a pc case. I do want to adopt the general principals however. SCROGin looks great for my needs.



I do need stealth however as I doubt New Mexico will give me a card for my chronic neck headaches. I am gonna try however.

With respect to the smell, I have a 40lb carbon filter left over from a candle bus i used to have. If need be it should be able to take good care of the smell from a plant or two.

BOBjob,
Thanks for the input on the rocklock. It will be first try :)

Bobjob,

Cant wait but it will be a while for me. My light should be arriving next week.
The girls wont get here for a couple a weeks which will give me plenty of time to get the box done. I still have issues with respect to putting together affordable ph, temp, and tds meters. I also have to get my game plan together on feeding them; as in do I jump right into aero or what hmmmm. Aero would be with a fogger if i do it. I better go got places to go today. Thanks for all the help and info.

Every time I order beans from the "tude", they get to me super fast. Within 3-5 days.

I love that site...

Well in my quest for total confusion I started researching nutrients. After reading pages of "this one or that one" i settled on Liquid karma. I got the impression this can be a sprout to vape nutro, simplifying things for a beginner. I will be attempting a fogger sys.
I have read you shouldn't use molasses with a fogger, anyone wanna chime in on that? I believe a fogger can be aside from soil the simplest system once figured out (no airstone/airpump, no water pump). I have also read you may use up to 75% less nutes. I will use a large res to hopefully manage temps. If nutro temps get outa control i will get a pond pump to circulate water to and from an external tank.

Any input on my lame ass ideas please chime in.
