Closet Growing....

[Bazooka Joe]

I'm thinkin about orering some high quailty seeds from a seed bank and planting them in soil or maybe even put them in a hydro set- up when they grow enough after germantion, and would keep them in my closet, that i have totally cleaned out. what supplies and lighting materials wold i need to make that possible?, i want a strain that is not too storong of an odur becaus ei live iwth my parents and i don't want em to smell the plants growin, and theydon't search my mom, so i was thinkin bout maybe the bubble gum strain, they say they give off a sweet smell, i just spray some berry flavored air fresher and say it that. lol. But what do ya think i would need to make this a suseful plant with some nice bud. peace

Ok to grow a plant indoors is very easy you will need:
1-Light
Light there are many types of lights that you can get. If your gonna be growing in a small room your lights high in the blue spectrum will be good so they dont get tall but but thick with lots of foliage. Lights can be bought at any nursery and can be very expensive if your serious about growing some quality buds. Or you you can go ghetto style by buying a cool white at a hradware store they have good blue light and are very cheap the best part is you actually can grow a descent plant with these. Keep the light just a few inches above the plant the whole time its growing. Lights get hot though so its only with temperature permiting on how close the lights can get.
2- Soil
Of course you will need a pot to put the soil in one with drainage holes and make sure its clean. The bigger the pot the bigger your plant can grow 2-2 1/2 is good for indoors.You do not want to start off with shitty soil most soil these days is all wood chips and shit get some good soil with plenty of neutrients and good drainage to start off your plants right. For fertilizer i suggest 20-20-20 mix for beginners so you dont ahve to deal with how much potasium during what stage or anything like that. Dont use fert until its at least a month old. Don't use miracle grow even though they have 20-20-20.
3-Water
Water every few days, get in a routine so that it NEEDS water every few days dont just water it every few days with out knowing if it realy needs it. The first few layers of top soil will be dry when you need to water again. If you live in the city let your water sit out for 24 hours so it can get room temperature and so the chemicals will evaporate.

Thats the basics you need to learn alot more about those subects and more subjects i didnt even touch like harvesting and pruning. If you do what i just told you its very possible to grow a plant but if you want the best results for what you have you must read and learn. Being told how to do everything wont help much theres too much to tell i could talk for days and not even be halfway done. I learn more about bud every time i buy a book or hit up the net theres new information and because i am always willing to learn more my plants have become some of the best plants i have ever seen. Dont be like some people and grow just to get free bud make it hobby or a life style and growing will be that much more rewarding than just a free high. Sorry about the little speach not usually me i just get pissed off when people dont want to learn about it they just want it now. This a marijauna activists if you just want some weed to smoke talk to a hobo most will be able to help you out. Anyway finally for buds that dont smell i know ive heard of some strains that dont smell as much as others but i dont look into them i love the smell of growing reefer. Also you could buy an air ionizer which can help reduce the smell. Bubble gum doesnt smell like most marijuana but its smell is still a plant smell and very stong. If i forgot anything realy important please help this aspiring cannabis cultivator out.

No matter what strain, you will have very strong oders that can easliy be noticed when someone enters your house. God forbid its a cop or something or an inpector. bubble gum does give off A LITTLE sweet smell but it still got that overwhelming marijuana smell. These are not your average roses.

What you could do is put the following in your closet to neutralize oders: a home made carbon scrubber, an ionizer and some glade plugins (better get some ether oil). Make sure you insulate your closet door so oders cant leave.

Make sure you sterilize your closet to kill mold, bacteria, and small insects.

Try not using soil cus you would have to open the door and feed it every day. Buy or make a hydroponic system, you could go up to 3 weeks with out feeding or checking on them.

For closet operation try using at least 70 watt high pressure sodium if you want any results. Soft white bulbs and halogen will NOT work because of their spectrum. Metal Halide and flouresents work great but not as good as hps. make sure theres a reflector mount for your bulbs.

Buy a hygrometer and thermometer combo to constantly check the temp and humidity, Keep the humidity MEDIUM. If its high you'll have mold and stuff growing on your buds and everthing is ruined. Closets usually have high humidity, so you might wanna drill a vent. If its too low then your plants will dry up fast.

Your also gonna need a timer so you can change the light cycle to 12 hours a day when you begin the flowering stage.

Remember this is weed, its a very serious hobby. Dont start growing if you have a shitty budget, save your money and dont cut down on needs.

3 weeks? jesus christ.
top up with water daily and adjust pH.
if u wanna leave it set up a header tank and a float valve full of pH adjusted water.

Yeah i said soil just cause i dont like hydro they had good suggestions though but the only thing i gotta say is if your growing in a small room youll need to check on it at least once a day for air exchange opening the door is all it takes for a closet youd probably do that anyway because every one like to see how their plants are coming along.
