1st time, acquired plant about foot tall

Hey all, I was browsing the forums looking for some grow tips, and I decided this place is helpful enough that I could post a question and hopefully get a productive response!

Basically, I've acquired a gatorade cooler with some plants in it. Let's just say my roomates acquired it from some people who live downstairs, who are known thieves at my college... perhaps this is some small form of payback (they've stolen multiple 360s and PS3s , not a huge deal to me, but I definetly dont feel bad taking their shit)

Anyways, this container has 3 plants about 10 inches tall. I've looked at some grow guides, and so far my plan is to put it on a 12/12 light cycle, 11pm-11am darkness. I'm getting a flourescent tomorrow afternoon, and even thoguh I'm in a college dorm, I think I can ventilate it by opening the doors to my wardrobe 2 or 3 times a day during the light cycle.

Anyways, any advice you can offer on the above plan would be appreciated. Also any tips for watering and fertilizing would be good. I plan to use tap water thats been sitting for 24 hours + to get rid of the chlorine.

my advice is ditch the stolen plants and dont try to grow in your college dorm.

I agree. You'll do those plants a big favor if you find them a nice spot oudoors to spend the summer.

You are in college, you have more important things to concentrate on than getting your arse (ass in US) kicked out of there.

:cool:

college costs alot and im poor so i had to find a way to pay for it thats one of my ways. it sounds alright except for the dorm thing and try to get a grow spectrum light. and off campus housing

Thanks so much for all of youre productive responses. Through your encouragement, I have decided to not grow this marijuana? Right.

I didn't realize college was so difficult for other people.

I'm guessing you don't major in ethics?

I'm a music major who maintains a 3.0, smokes everyday, plays wow all day while listening to Brahms and Mahler, missed over a hundred classes last semester and still kept that 3.0. Ethics isn't my major, but my gut tells me stealing is bad. But there's no remorse in this situation.

Again, if college was that difficult for you people I understand your tentiveness to help me out here.

It's not about reluctance. It's about prudence. I personally refrain from assisting those that attempt to grow in inappropriate situations. Those that think they can pull-off a small grow in places like up in their parents attic, school dorms, planters in the mall, apartments, (with managers or maintenance personel
having implied authorization to inspect premises) behind the jail...these folks generally get themselves busted, and I don't advocate anyone breaking the law.
If you are attempting to grow at school, chances are you don't have a med card for growing, and would be unable to properly conceal your illegal grow. Even if you did have a card, school would likely call the authorities.
-plus-
It's bad juju growing stolen weed. Not to difficult to get the process going, with known seeds of quality lineage, without committing larceny.

Wow that's interesting. i didn't realize it was legal to grow marijuana if you have a med card. I thought it was still a federal offense. I must be mistaken? Or maybe I just need an ethics class... but how do you not advocate anyone breaking the law?

wow what a jerk. if you're gonna act like that why even have your grow log here.

So not only do we have a punk trying to telll us the law, but a punk that accepts stolen goods, and whines about not being able to cash-in on the larceny.

For one thing, I'm not the child throwing a tantrum because the answers don't fit the answer I wanted. If you chose to risk your education and your future, on growing some stolen weed, you are a moron, and I choose not to be a part of that.

You want to grow the stolen plants (yeah...I believe ya. YOU didn't steal the plants, lol.) of unknown origin, of unknown genetics, in a school dorm? Good luck. Perhaps when you are living back at your parents house, smokin'a a joint on your way to ditching your job at McDonalds, you'll look back at this and laugh. I know I will.

Tell ya what...since I have such a soft spot for thieves and punks...I'll offer some valuable advise...Go sell some of those stolen PS3's, and buy a bag on your way to ditching class again.

Wow, I must've really hit home for such a venomous reply. I'm not the one who posts on this website under the guise of "I Don't advocate anyone breaking the law".

Again, I'm not sure what part of my previous post illicited such a negative response from you, but I assure you I don't return the seeming hatred you have towards me. You not giving me advice on growing marijuana isn't the end of the world, nor is it much of a deterent towards my growing. I suppose you'll hate me even more after this post. But I've never advocated anyone breaking the law.

So it's a good thing to accept stolen property? Knowing you are accepting stolen property, in my eyes, makes you a thief.
As a member of these forums, I can factually say that not all of us here on CanCom stomach thieves.

Trying to show society (authorities included) that no, we are not a bunch of thieves, drug dealers and irresponsible school kids is tough enough without someone coming in and proving us wrong.
Your little intro shows me, that your judgement (and situation) is questionable.
Over-reaction? Could be. Justifiable? Yup, to me it is. Judgemental? Yeah...probably. But I'm not the one coming in telling all that I knowingly accept stolen property while shrugging it off as some sort of imagined kharma, or that I'm an irresponsible stoner with no insight to the legal/social problems associated with growing cannabis. Would your friends and roommate(s) mind getting busted for your grow?

Yeah, well, I've got my med card, I'm not a thief, I grow at home and no, I don't advocate anyone breaking the law.

It isn't hatred...to be honest, it's disdain. (to think unworthy of notice, response, etc..) I really don't appreciate someone coming in, telling me of aquiring a PS3 that was ripped-off from my neighbor, telling me it's ok...you didn't steal it, then asking to borrow a cup of knowledge.

Hmmm...ok...if this is the case, you also have the moral responsibility to do so responsibly.
(And what paragraph of the speech did that come out of, btw?) Letter from a Birmingham Jail [King, Jr.]


Of course, this is my opinion, and my opinion alone. Anyone else in this forum is free to do as they see fit, and I will respect their decision either way. However, I choose not to further the stigma that has been hefted upon our backs by a society that equates cannabis use with criminal activity.

And what this moderator deems fit is to lock the thread. Not only do we not discuss growing in dorms or parents' houses here, but we also aren't in the business of helping thieves.

Since when is missing over 100 classes something to brag about? 3.0 isn't all that great... I got a 3.0 in college running 22 credits per semester (full time is 12), working 30 hours a week, and graduated a year early. Imagine how well you'd do if you actually concentrated on going to class instead of hanging out with thieves, stealing and growing pot, and playing WOW!

You think a 3.0 as a music major is going to get you far? That's a SUPER competitive field and you'd do better to practice your instrument, and maybe I dunno get a JOB to pay your bills, since you NEED to start building a resume ASAP. Try working as a tutor or a substitute teacher in the local high school's music program.

Ugh. Whatever, this thread is over and I share Rusty's disdain.

Edit: Please don't mis-quote Dr. King. He deserves more respect than to be used as a lame justification for stealing shit.
