Ok, so i'll be straight up with everyone, though i'm sure to get many a scathing response.
I'm in college, and i want to grow. The problem is that i live in a dorm (go figure right). I'm curious as to whether or not anyone has ever grown in a dorm room, or to get people's general opinions. Thanks!
You could grow in a dorm room.
1) get a single room, or a double with someone who wants to share the experience
2) grow in a locked closet
3) don't tell anyone
4) don't overdo; grow no more than 4 plants and use the KISS method
5) be prepared to remove all evidence when you leave; plan cycles
6) don't tell anybody
7) do all your mixing of soil or nutrients at 4 AM, or when most people will be asleep
8) make stealth, especially odor control a number 1 priority. Grow a nonsmelly variety or have seirous carbon scrubbers
9) don't tell nobody
10) share your weed
11) keep it on the QT
12) have other plants in your room, and tell people that you like horticulture
go rent a house!!! much more relaxing on the nerves.
Incredibly more relaxing, though I would never consider throwing my college education away just for a little Dorm-Grown-Pot. You should definitely consider rooming up with 2 or 3 friends and renting a home. Not only will you be able to safely grow, without the same amount of restraints that a Dorm room has, but you'll never have to worry about rules and curfew or whatever it may be. Parties until 7 in the morning, no problem!Quote:

A lot of times Universities require freshmen live in a dorm their first year, so getting an apartment right now may not be possible.
Anyways, if you have the balls to do it.. by all means go for it. Just make sure it's completely stealth and Don't Tell ANYONE! Have an old comp. case laying around? I have seen some nice bud grown in a pc case that nobody would take a second glance at. It's totally possible. :thumbsup:
If you're really that interested, look up ICMag on google and check out their forums and all the micro grows. And READ READ READ!!
When you get out of the dorm and into an apt is when you can start looking to do cab grows, etc. Until then, K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stupid)
GOOD LUCK! :rasta:
I wouldn't trade my experiences living in the dorm for anything. You meet so many people and have alot of friends. Planned functions with opposite sex dorms. Plus, some dorms let you build and paint in them and make your room however you want. That would be ideal if you grow in a dorm. Oh yeah, it's all coming back. I remember the good ol days of sneaking around on tops of buildings, climbing on top of the elevator and taking control of it. Once we filled the elevator shaft full of ballons, and for a month or so there was spuratic popping going on when the elevator moved. Quazing stuff, preferably TVs. That's when you have a lookout at the bottom of your 7-story building to signal when it's safe to throw the electonics, or furniture, or whatever off the top, sometimes when they're plugged in, other times when a tape recorder as at the bottom to get the audio on record. You can actually hear the TV coming as soon as leaves the top. Try that in a house. And boy, do you get popular when you turn legal drinking age.
growing in a dormitory is just 'begging to be busted' ... :smokin:
That's true, unless you carefully follow my 12 rules of growing in a dorm.Quote:

Your legal rights may be quite different in a dorm as compared to a rental with a 'normal' lease.
I wouldn't even risk it. Your college education is far too important.
Really though, the people that say to get a house, or to wait are hitting the nail on the head. If you look at the big picture, weighing the ability to grow a little weed instead of just buying it, against the education for the rest of your life, growing is absolutely nothing. Sure it's fun to grow, but if that's what you like you can just do my #12 above. You can still smoke weed, but your college just takes up a little time compared to the rest of your life, so why not play it safe for just awhile.
My advice above is just for incase you decide to grow anyway, but I still would not take the chance. Take it from the people who have been there before.
You could also live in the dorm, and grow off campus with a buddy.
i would by far say get a house. in the event you did(grow in dorm). dont tell any one because. no one needs to see. and always take in to consideration there is alot of work that gose in to this and if you cant put your all in to it DONT:jointsmile:
ok guys i have a question. i too live in a dorm but my buddie has a single room and in his room there was a small locked door that we popped off the hinges revealing an attic maby 100 to 200 feet long. and about 6 feet tall in the middle that slants down to about 4 on the sides. if only me and him knew about this do you think we could pull it off. the school wouldnt go in there because its "supposed" to be locked :)
also its really musty in there. could we just grow without a cabinet or would we need to build some kind of box or go with the rubbermade configuration
I wouldn't grow at college ever...expulsion and jail aren't a fun thing to have to explain to your parents.
i can see the call now "Hi mom, I'm in jail because i was growing weed in my dorm rooms closet".
But if you feel you can pull it off, more power to you.
i agree with opie. its probably quite doable (may depend on the college and if it does inspections or whatnots). but even 4 plants could become risky towards the end of flowering as they smell more n more....
don't do it! bad idea bad idea bad idea just don't do it please stupid stupid stupid
Kwali, you win the most scary avitar category.
No.Quote:

.....aargh.
DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH GROWING IN A SPACE YOU DO NOT OWN OR HAVE A LEASE ON!!!!!!
IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
YOU WILL GET CAUGHT.
Do you really think that your college education, the tuition you will STILL have to pay back even if you get expelled, and the wrath of your family are worth the few scruffy buds a noob can get growing in borrowed space with stolen electricity?
Save yourself the time and risk and just buy a bag...
A buddy of mine got kicked out of the dorms for just getting caught with a joint on his desk. How did they ever catch him? Supposedly the whole hall outside his door stunk, and according to the Resident Director, her eyes were watering it was so strong. So a $732 fine later and he's moved in with some buddies and gets to grow there.
My recommendation would be to find some buddies who live close to campus (walking distance) and borrow their basement. Or just do what I plan on doing and wait until next year, get a place of your own, and grow your own. Until then don't risk it.
First rule about grow club, DON'T talk about grow club.
Having had some college experience I'd say do not under any circumstances try to grow in your dorm room. RA's and Campus security do not have to and rarely do consider your rights as a citizen... nor do they have to. I could just see you hanging out with friends one night, making a slight amount of noise, and having a complaint send you right out the door and into a jail cell. It's not your property and you shouldn't treat it like it is. At the very least I would recommend getting very familiar with how your campus security operates.
Lastly, to reiterate again, again, and again.... It's only a secret if you're the only one who knows about it. I wouldn't trust my mother, wife, or anyone with information that could lead to getting pinched.
Listen to Stinky, PLEASE LISTEN TO STINKY!!!!! When I was in the dorm, my freshman year, although the RA's weren't thoroughly checking every little corner or closet, it would only take one person to rat on you or for someone to see your grow, to get.............
EXPELLED!!!!
Absolutely NOT worth it. If you want to grow weed, go get all your supplies and everything you need and have a friend of yours who lives off campus to grow with your supplies and take the risk for you (that is if you could get a friend to do that).:stoned:
Listen to Stinky and don't do it. Once harvest time rolls around the odor will be very noticeable, plus you have extremely limited privacy!
I too am in college and am on my second gro, first was also here at college. I would say NO to growing in the dorms, i just think that too much could go wrong. I kno im my dorm room freshman year there were about 2000 people in and out of my room that year, some i knew othere i didnt, thats just how it goes in an wnviornment were people are looking to meat as many people as possible.
I would spend ur first year in college researching and figuring out how to grow, maybee pick up some of the necessary supplies when u have some free money. Then next year move into an appartment with a friend who will share interest and excitment in ur hobby. Now u will at least have a head start when u get ur appartment and u can get going.
However if u do get an appartment and start groing in it, remember that u have a landlord who will most likely be able to come into ur appartment at thier discretion and for any reason they like.,..... Dont give them a reason. I had to chop my first grow about 3 weeks befor i would have liked b/c my landlord decides to inspect the appartment b/c of a dirty kitchen that one of the maintenance people saw when they came to work on our sink.... Good luck whatever u end up doihng:thumbsup:
odor will be a bitch....keep plant height low...must be bushy plants
Going to agree here, in dorms is foolish - but you can grow outdoors still :)
100% no. stupidest fucking thing you could ever do.
Aw, come on. Just follow my 12 rules and it's no problem. Deviate slightly and you're screwed.
You wouldn't believe the crap I pulled in college.
Those were differant days, guy...
Shit I pulled in college would have ya doing a mandatory 25 years if ya got caught today, and I think that some of it would buy you a ticket to Gitmo.
Yeah, that's true. Never thought about that particular aspect. The ol' "things change" deal. OK, I guess it will be alright if you people decide to not grow in the dorms. But just this time. However the molotov cocktails are still OK.
I'm pretty sure I remember reading something about it will be mandatory to grow in dorms by November, 2025.
yeah, you old farts probably could hot box your dorm rooms, i on the other hand, got booted from my dorm around 6 weeks into semester 1(last semester). i was considering having a stealth grow AND THANK GOD I DIDNT. my life wouldve been over. true it was a smaller school and that had a lot to do with it, but still.also, 4 plants? anyone who can grow 4 quality plants in a dorm is a RA, or a god.
Yes we did hot box our rooms, but we took precautions. We put a towel in the crack under the door. Not like that stopped the smell, but hey it couldn't hurt. Might help a little.
Be smart. Don't grow in your dorm. Grow in your RA's dorm.
