Ok I'm a first time grower so I'm looking for some professional opinions on my plan. I really wanted to grow outdoors but the more I read, the more I realize that (living in indiana) I don't think the plants would grow very well. Plus if I did then I would have to grow them during the summer which isn't too great. Then I realized that if I am creative in teh ways that I always am about not getting caught with weed or being high, then I can surely figure out a way to grow in my house (my whole family lives here. My dad and my two (14 and 16) brothers live here. So here's the plan... I am really just wondering if you guys think this will work and if you have any suggestions.
1. The seeds -- I have about a dozen or so seeds that I have collected over the past month or two that I have been keeping in my room. None of them are from any high end strains or anything. Just from the industrial stuff around here. Probably about right in the middle of the spectrum. Maybe a grade or so between fire?
2. Where I will grow -- Ok my room is in the basement. People come down here but not that often and only to see me in my room. There is a room in the back corner that is only used for storage. It is rarely entered. There are tupperwares stacked up with all our old toys. I've emptied out one of the tupperwares, put a lamp in it, put the lid on but not all the way, and stacked the other tupperwares back on top of it. Takes about 2 minutes to get to it when everything is put back up.
3. Germinating -- Right now I only have a incadescent 75 watt lamp in there and I placed it with my seeds. The seeds are in between 12 (6 on both sides) sheets of paper towel. Hopefully they will germinate in the next 24 - 48 hours.
4. Growing -- I am about to make a trip to wal mart and will be buying 2 or 3 pots. Planting soil, a flourescent lamp, and maybe a timer depending if they have them and how much they cost. I will also look around the garden section for anything else that looks handy (your help would be greatly appreciated). After the seeds have germinated, I will place them in the pots with the flowering soil and also replace the old lamp with the fluorescent ones.
That's pretty much all I got for now. I figure that will get my started and then I can research/ask you guys/think of where to put them when they start getting taller. I am thinking of keeping 2 of the healthier onese in the tupperwair and maybe cutting out the bottom of the tupperware on top of it so they have room to grow. Then I will finde a place in our deserted woods (in the middle of 3 corn fields with no roads leading to them. Atleast 1/4 miles from any road or house or anything). I will replant them there.
So... do you guys think it'll work? Any other suggestoins?
