I couldn't get many responses to this question in the grow thread so i will post here.



I plan on growing east coast sour disel, cheese, or possibly ak-47 after my summer job which should be about 3,500 dollars, I am growing this in a closet... The Stats of the closet are...

Latitude-2ft, and 4 ft if i take some shit out.
Longitude- 2ft 10in
The altiude is above the roof which is probably 10 ft, so that is no concern.
There is no electrical sockets in the closet, nor any lights.
The Closet does not shut all the way entirely, with an inch left open, when shut to it's fullest.

Anybody know basic materials needed to grow this stuff? I know my parents and shit could catch me, but i gotta "GetBakedOrDieTryin"
, Anyways peace out.

No dude, its actually called AK-48.

People thought it sounded like the kalashnikov AK-47, and called it this instead, and now some seedbanks call it that because its what people know it as.

There is no strain called AK-47. Its AK-48... You need to know your facts...

not sure on any costs, really, but I think lights will probably run you any where between 500-1000 bucks, the soil and pots, fertilizer etc. defintely be had for under a hundred. (my parents garden like crazy so I had most of this shit lying around when I got started) the closet space sounds good for about four to six plants, any more then that and you'll probably stunt their growth. you'll also have to rig someting so the door closes or you'll have a hard time regulating temperature and humidity. run power through the wall via an extension cord unless your an electrition!! cover the inside in foil and make sure your lights can be lowered and risen.

If your serious about growing the first thing you should do is get a good book on the subject.

If your serious about growing the first thing you should do is get a good book on the subject.what do u mean cover the inside with tin foil? the plant or the walls? and why?, on to other things. the tempeture is normally 76 in my house, so i'm fine with temp, infact perfect from what i have heard. anyways do u know anything that i can use that will help me control humidity? i live in florida so there is always a good amount of humidity here. I Also think i could slide something between the closet so i will be fine, (by the way when the closet closes to it's fulliest, there is probably about 1/5 of an inch left open, which i just realised). Also how many times should i water, fertilize, and resoil, per day, week, month, etc.

P.S do u mean the total amount from the time the plant dies, or simply buying the lights, not counting the electricity, and other things.

Have you ever touched a lightbulb? Imagine that, but in your grow room. If you set yourself up with some nice CFL's for vegetative, you could go all out and get an HPS for flowering, which is great for your plants. Second of all, I would suggest mylar instead of tin foil. It's a very reflective material and allows more light to be absorbed by the plants. Also, you're gonna wanna take care of that 1/5 inch. Just a little bit of light may mess up your flowering.

Try a mixture of 1/3 perlite, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 peat moss. Add more peat moss if you need more drainage. You might wanna go with bat guano, or something else you find locally at a hydro shop. Make sure to check the NPK, and I really don't wanna get more into this now, so try searching the boards a little bit.

Good lights are gonna run you anywhere between, oh say 150 to 400, and even more if you're gonna put a cool tube in. The lights ALONE. It can turn into quite an expensive endeavour fast, especially when you start looking at more expensive ferts, tds pens, ducts for fresh air, etc. Really, really research this before just jumping right into it, and make sure you have the resources and are ready to deal with the consequences. After all, you wouldn't want to have a baby that you couldn't afford to feed, right?

ordinary soil and blooming fertizer yeilder much better than average bud even though I used ordinary bud seeds.. Home depot lights made healthier plants indoors than i had outdoors. 10 bucks for home depot's made for growing lights(the truth)

those home depot lights beat the california sun 2 times over for growing speed also. i'd put them through a flowering ligh cycle real soon or at least train tthe plants to grow via tie down ect

.... I strongly suggest NOT to grow in your parents house. I take it you're still a minor, and if any shit hits the fan legally wise, your parents will be at fault for YOU. It's not worth the risk, if you're making that much in a summer job, then just buy in large amounts and save your stash. But at least have the decency to not grow in your parents house unless you have their approval.

good point. Sadly, I just assumed he was just growing in his own house. Seriously though, your parents' house is a no go, no grow.

i don't know if you've grown before , but id think twice about growing in your parents house. to set shit up properly you'll need more space , PLUS , when buds start producing and shit it's going to stink to high heaven man ...like really bad , worse than a fat chicks body odor .... think twice about what you are about to do .

The police have a funny little habit of checking attics. Sure, your parents may not find out, but let's say you tell a few people about it and one of them likes running their mouth. The cop doesn't have a warrant but still wants to see what's going on. Now mom and dad don't think they have anything to hide, so they let him in. That's about the time that your parents will be charged with cultivation, etc.

It's hard to grow cannabis. It's ten times harder to do it secretively. If you have your heart set on growing, maybe try guerilla growing, or if push comes to shove, move out.

It's just not a smart idea to grow in your parent's house, especially without their permission. Hell, maybe just try talking to them about it, and a few months down the road, who knows? Parents really can be more open than they seem, especially if you're the child of hippies.
