First grow, possibly...

Well i've always just bought pot from other people.. it's seemed to be the easiest way , and it still might be. but my dad recently moved out and i have a small area in a shed i could possibly grow, only 1 plant though.

What i was thinking is getting a box thats say 2ft long by 1ft high. Have 2 light "sockets" cut out of the top so when the box is shut the lights are right on it , with a small fan hole on the opposite side. As you can tell i'm very inexpeirenced in this area and i'm just looking for any pointers. As long as i get some bud from it i'm happy :) I included a fairly basic outline of what i want to do(checkout my art skills)


Thanks,

1ft high is not a lot of room, I can barely fit four in my area of 21inch X 22inch X 24inches high. It is possible in 1ft vertical(if the pot is hanging out the bottom), but 2 feet vertical is much easier(from the top of pots), and 2 lights aren't gonna do the job either,

Hmm, I could possibly make it 2ft high if need be. I just would prefer to keep it as small as possible(Due to lack of permission to grow it at all..) And how many / what type of lights do i need then, for just one plant?

If you have ANY possibility of getting caught over lets say 3-4 months from now, do not grow; especially if your parents are around, it's a 10 year felony(minimum), and they could lose their house over it. Not that you are, but a lot of burned out kids get on this site and think growing "iz sooo cool!" until their mommy finds it and screws up their lives. In short, think about it fully before you do it.
As far as lights go, any low watt MH or HPS would do fine in a box that size, you just need an intake and exhaust fans pushing from one side of box to the other. 1 plant will probably be a dissapointment, but great way to learn about growing, one plant isn't going to pay for its power consumption, fertilizer, pots, soil, lights, with fat buds Just think about how your 'rents will react to finding it.

I dont mean to lecture you or anything, I just hate to see peoples lives get messed up over this stuff...

use Cfl lighting.

love

yeah you're right knowm 1 70 watt hps is too expensive(for this grow), but 5 or so cfls, thats a lot of wiring to hide (could just pigtail it to one plug though). hopefully he'll read my first reply and think about it first.

Do you mean a felony stays on your record for 10 years? Or that you'll do 10 years in the pokey?

If you're in U.S., know your laws by state:

Yeah; Well my dad just moved out so i have a shed that will most likely not be found. Also i'm in Canada as far as laws go i'm not sure. I'll be posting back once i run this through me head a few more times.

Thanks for the replies.

10 years in the pokey I meant, just keep a padlock on that shed.
