Grow or No Grow?

...have you ever caught a wiff of skunk?...a little smell goes a long way.

Don't grow in your parents house. General rule of thumb for respectable growers. Unless, of course, your parents say it is alright, then of course you can. First of all, you would need a pretty big closet. Second of all, to get the yield you desire, you would need very high-wattage lights that can cost hundreds of dollars, then at that, the electric bill would jump up $50 a month, possibly more. Then, for a closet, there are no reliable methods to neutralize a potent smelling plant, much less, a potent smelling plant with your desired yield. Then you'd have to pay for either soil or hydro equipment, many nutrient supplements, pesticides, etc.


Simply put: If you are not financially stable now, you will have a hard time growing. To add to that dilemna, you are in your parents house, and growing without their permission, or growing period, is risking their freedom. Not wise. Possible. Not without major hassles, but possible. Just not financially convenient or wise.

amen brotha! Well put:thumbsup:

Thanks unkownfiggure for logistically explaining why I cant grow, I guess I was misinformed about the yeild of a plant and about the power bill I would of never even of thought of that,and you were the only one to actually answer my original question to if a tent would work or not.

Yeah, I ended up spending way more on my plants than I would have thought. Containers, lights, fertilizer, crap to build my grow room, a vent fan, timers, power strips, extension cords, bulbs, soil, seeds, insecticide, etc. I think I've spent about $400 on my setup so far, and it's a small one.

Granted, you can grow low-odor strains with fluorescent lights, or grow autoflowering plants, and you probably wouldn't even notice a change in your power bill, but you WILL end up spending more than you think on growing indoors.

Also got to remember that he wants more than two ounces off a plant. All fluorescent light grows I have seen have typically yielded 50 grams each plant on a hydro system (mind you, the bud was gooood) While those ARE good for one or two plant closet/cabinet grows, they aren't all that reliable as far as output in yield and quality.


@not_the_kitty: No problem. It's just better for you to be informed about every aspect, as I know getting caught with anything fucking sucks, much less an entire plant (which is committing a felony rather than just a possession misdemeanor)
