Growing pot the no nonsence way Advice please

OK. I live in a converted attic in a house with other people. I don't want them to know I’m growing pot. Both sides of my room have attic space that wasn't used in the conversion so I can grow pot there. There is ventilation where there is a gap between the roof and the attic floor.

I've read loads of 'grow guides' and they're all just very complex and unpractical. I have a low budget I just want to grow some pot, for my own use and see what happens. I don't have any control over humidity or CO2 etc and its just pritty unpractical for me so any advice on growing on setting up and good seeds to buy online or anything is welcome please.............


:thumbsup:

when i was a beginner this was my setup:
*4-6 cfl's.....42 watts each
*random bagseed so i get to know the plant before i bought seeds from a seed bank
*miracle grow soil.....dont use it. i was a noob and used it, had problems with nute burn a lot. get something that says like "seedling starter" and try and stay away from anyting that says "feeds up to ----- months"
*5 gallon bucket to plant in.

then all you need to do is get a timmer and your practically there. good luck

p.s. once i got a couple grows under my belt i started upgrading lights and everything.

If you are serious about growing .... and you have to be in order to do it ..... just do the best you can with what you can afford and learn by doing .... that's how I did it .... it took me a while but I did it .... it can be done .... it all depends on you.
I started with a 150W HPS and flo's and build up from there when I could. If you do it right you can grow enough to support your habit.
Just read the posts here and ask questions. :thumbsup: :hippy: :rastasmoke:

Step 1:
Get permission of all people on your lease and in your household. Seriously, don't be fucking over your roommates. You go down, they go down too. Eviction or worse.

Alternative step 1:
Wait 2 months. Grow outside.

Check this out, for a mininam grow, using tube fluorescents.

I think that you could do better with 42W CFLs from Walmart, but this shows that you can grow some (small) plants with tube flouros.

it can be alright soil if you dont add any extra nutrients to the soil because it already has slow release nutes. if you add a tiny bit of your personal nutes it can burn the plant very easily and the slow release nutes are sometimes not what MJ needs or wants. i just found it more trouble. but there are some successful grows using MG....check out Gardenknowms thread called "what a healthy two week old plant looks like"
