Its been dry too long, maybe growing???

[Justin Incredible]

Just want to ask about possibly doing a little growing.

I will start with the situation.

I still live at home so that is the only reason I am not already growing I have read alot about growing.

I will only be growing about 6 lowryder plants in my loft. The part I am going to use in the loft/attic is very hard to get to. Crawling hands and knees and squeeing though very small gap.

I will be making a small container to grow. Because I am only growing lowryder which are about 1 foot high it wont have to be too tall.

Questions

Does this plan sound stupid. I am over 18 so I would take the rap if I got caught and I would say I was the only person to no about it. I wont tell anyone too risky.

For only 6 Lowryder plants how big would the box need to be???

I would post this in the grow room but its not really about growing just want opinion on whether it sounds alright.

I no I wont get much weed from it but I dont smoke much. If I get half a plants I will be more than happy.

[Nochowderforyou]

Lowryders are a great way to start. They are easy to grow, don't get too tall, and they an autoflowering strain, so they'll even grow, and flower, under 24hr lighting.

LowRdr's don't get any taller than 1.5ft in height, so for 6 of them, when the time comes, you'll need at least 6 3gallon pots for your plants to grow in, so I'm guessing...no more than a 4ft x 4ft space, and the height doesn't have to be any taller than 3ft.

Good choice on the strain. It was the second kind I grew and I was happy. Not huge yeilders, but it provided me with what I needed and I saved hundreds of dollars per year.

[Justin Incredible]

Exactly my thoughts on choosing lowryders. 4ft x 4ft is pretty easy to knock up for me. Will have to make the box in situ because the opeing is so small.

Nochowder any ideas on yield??? Gonna be using a CFL but not sure what wattage I thought 250w but can only find 150 or 400. I have read up on this but just wanna be sure.

The biggest problem I can think of is ventilation and temperature because the attic gets very hot in summer and very cold in winter.

[Mr. Rogers]

I was thinking of growing some lowryder myself for my first project. How was the high?

[dryst]

minituare ac/heaters work... cfls are great for veg but u probally wanna invest in some mh/hps for flowering, itll give u alot more bud production

[dryst]

not much at alll....its a small plant, one of my friends grew a few of these to see what the big hype was all about...he got about a half o (14g) off each plant...

[dryst]

ya its great weed which is why so many people are growing it despite the small yields

[senoirsalsa]

if ya gonna grow in a small area and want short plants, just do a SCROG with preferably atleast a 400w HPS

[senoirsalsa]

Cool...now im thinking about growing em. Where can i order the seeds from, and will the seeds come undetectable?

[dryst]

grow some kush man, thats the best bud around and iv heard of people getting 150-200g yielded off of 1 plant

thats mandala's hashberry, from drchronic, its cheap as shit and seems to be the guy who grew its favorite, its majority indica

you should seriously do a SCROG though

[dryst]

wow i was looking at that site and they got purple widow for 9.75 a pack!!!

lol did you change the currency to USD

[senoirsalsa]

Does that site deliver to US?

yessir

[Cas]

I wont tell anyone too risky.



i wouldn't tell anyone period. :thumbsup:

[dryst]

its still like under $20...which i seen white widow being sold for over 40-50 pound per pack

[senoirsalsa]

All depends on the breeder, I mean you might get some blueberry from dutch passion for $70 but DJ shorts blueberry is $140

[senoirsalsa]

Oh and...when you order seeds from the site, do you get a pack of seeds? ( If so how many in a pack )

there in packs, the amount varies from brand to brand....I dunno i think its usually 8-9 on average?

[dryst]

most packs are 10...i never seen any different, although ive heard upon arrival the ammounts of seeds sometiems exceed 10

[dryst]

u top off a plant when it gets to big...

[dryst]

kush :D

[tyrantowns]

Yeah i know..well...now i know. :-P

but do you have any suggestions?
I have a suggestion.

As you are 14, I think you should wait. It's very risky, but I guess that depends where you live.

[Its a Plant]

I've decided to start growing my own for the same reason. Plus I hate hassling with undependable dealers.

That way, I'm in control of when my HOME is dry, and when I'm swimming in a sea of green.

Plus I have some money saved up, so I might as well buy something besides more weed. Then again, lol, I'm not 14. Wait until the conditions are safe, and you're at least of LEGAL age. ~

[LIP]

It's normally 10 unless otherwise stated. Normally if its anything other than 10, its 5, and thats the rareer more expensive strains. [Seeds per pack]

you might get lucky, the plants im growing now came in a "10" pack but i actually got 18 seeds... The strain is Indian Skunk... They obviously cant count, but damn, the curry is nice :thumbsup:

First off if you live at your parents house it don't matter, your putting THEIR property at risk. The cops don't give a crap if they knew or not, THEY are responsible for everything and anything that goes on in their home. Before you grow, rent or own!

Next, in order to grow in a loft/attic you have to consider the heat factor. There is NO WAY your going to be able to modify a ventilation system in a situation like your in without people hearing things. Next would be the smell during flowering.......get that one under the folks noses and your a PRO!

Do yourself a favor and just wait till your on your own.........

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

[dryst]

why would u want to wait untill ur of legal age?...if ur caught after ur 18 itll fuck ur life up, ur still a minor man go for it, just cut down the risk and be smart about it, dont tell anyone . i know a 15 yr old up the street just got pinched for havin a plant in his closet...u know why he got caught?...he had a big mouth...it only takes 1 wrong person to tell and then ur fucked..

[dryst]

is any age LEGAL to grow marijuana? lol

lol u got a point threre....
owned by the 14 yr old :thumbsup: (just kidding :D)

[Its a Plant]

I meant like at least 18, the LEGAL age in the U.S.

Smartass ~ :p

[LIP]

Children under 18 can be arrested straight away for it, with adults its slightly more accepted... It's still illegal though.

Seriously, you should wait untill you got your own place, cos then YOU can do what the hell you like and no one can change it.

You could paint the inside with your own stale urine and flour, and no one would mind... Or care, because its your place.

[Its a Plant]

I'll say right now that if your parents are against you smoking in the house or at all, just drop it now.

But if you're a lucky bugger and have two cool, understanding parents, go for it. There is no hiding something like this from them when they're living in the same house. ~

[LIP]

...u know why he got caught?...he had a big mouth...it only takes 1 wrong person to tell and then ur fucked..


VERY true. Some of the wisest words you'll hear when it comes to growing.

[dryst]

u ever smell the 20 bag of weed u got?...x that by about 100 ( at least if ur growing anythign with any skunk in it)

[senoirsalsa]

Ok. Any suggestions from Dr Chronic that a 1st time grower should buy? I want it to be all grown indoor, and one that wont take TOO much room.

I keep telling you, DO A SCROG(SCREEN OF GREEN)

theres a search function^ look it up

[LIP]

haha, how bad is the smell during flowering? My dad doesnt care if i smoke so i could always say i just smoked in my room. But is the smell different from SMOKED weed, and how strong is it?

Well, ive grown LR and my grow didnt really smell, but i had an exhaust fan. It stinks, but only if you disturb the trichomes of THC. If you leave well alone the smell wont be TOO strong. Skunk strains STINK, and its a phyical impossiblity to grow without people knowing. At least the people living in the house.

The weed smells weedy, and a bit planty.

[Its a Plant]

Yes, good advice senoir. ^

My grow will be a SCROG with 2-3 plants. It's perfect for small spaces when you want a high yeild.

You might have to put your schoolwork on HOLD for this.

And stay up late at night reading about EVERYTHING YOU CAN.

SCROG.

SCROG.

And drink coffee! ~

[senoirsalsa]

I suggest you buy a packs of northern lights, start a large SCROG, sex them early and get rid of the males early then ride it out


Northern lights smells ALOT less then most strains, you could probably make a carbon filter and throw it in the closet and it would be relatively tamed.

[Its a Plant]

Because I'm feeling nice and I like chewing you, Juicy Fruit, here ya go.

All you need to know on SCROG's, and then some. But more is still out there. Find it. Look at the pictures and get the idea in your head.

How much have you grown? haha, I thought so. If you think smokin' a j in your room is going to produce a lil' smell in the house try a half dozen plants. THAT is why the GROWERS in this forum discuss filtration systems. If you don't have an decent charcoal/carbon filter system your entire house smells BIG TIME.

LOL.....try 10 seeds of Northern Lights and you'll find out if your folks have ANY sense of smell at all.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

he will probably have closer to 7 plants if he weeds out the males(depends on luck)but a carbon filter is needed, end of story, northern lights smell alot less then a skunk plant would but its still going to stink

[senoirsalsa]

^^ TY Plant. It does look like a good idea. Would any sort of screen be useable? Like could i take a window screen, or do i need something with bigger holes in between?

My link says anything with 2x2inch holes

[senoirsalsa]

ooh ok, sorry didnt see your link before. Thanks for the help :thumbsup:

we have a grow section that you can get better help in, i cannot seem to find the carbon filter guides ATM

[newbieb]

if you grow in your parents house theres a very big possiblity that your parents wil go to jail and lowryder is onw of the worse strains

[senoirsalsa]

you could make an odor neutralizer, i couldnt tell you how well it would work

...cut a hole from ur grow area to ur roof so the outside is exposed...then build a pipe through that whole and put a carbon filter on the end of the pipe then a fan exuast so the air is ventilatied out side...thwe higher the exasut the less chance ur gonna have of getting caught

[Nochowderforyou]

SCrog, of Sog. It's known as Screen of Green, or Sea of Green.

It is not as easy as you think either. There is constant tying down of fragile stems and requires daily training, and tying. You can get amazing yeilds, but look into it more. It's not as easy as it appears to be.

I suggest topping the plant. If you're like me, who grows for personal use and yeilds aren't as important as quality, than top. You can get multiple colas growing. You just clip the top off and keep topping or pinching off new growth. It gives it a bushy look ineatd of vertical growth.

Lowryder isn't worth doing in a Scrog as it only grows 1.5ft in height, so there's no point to keeping things short, as it already is by nature.

LR don't yeild much, about 14g's per plant, but multiply that by 6 or 12, and you get a damn nice yeild.

Kush and Haze strains tend to not yeild much, but are a very high quality smoke.

Anyways, good luck, and I'm awlays in the growing forums, so stop by if you have any questions. :)
