Would I be better off just building a small box to fit one or two seed grown plants in, and just train them rather than trying SOG or SCROG for my first time? I know that there is a lot I simply cannot learn until I try it - no amount of reading can replace actual experience, however, I still want to get as potent and as much as possible from my first grow. I'd rather grow myself than have to go buy it from somewhere else, even if it is a legal distributor.

I can always get some of those germination cube things at the local botany store and germinate a bunch of plants under some of the 100w swirly shaped CFLs, kill the males, then let the best looking females grow up under a HPS or something in a small box... how much room would it take to get two or three plants and just train them around the edge of the bucket they are growing in? I don't have a lot of space.

I didn't know there is a set up section. I'm going to go check it out now!


Thanks for the great advice!

Check the setup section for examples, see what you like, post up diagrams, and we will be happy to preemptively troubleshoot for ya.
Stealth? I LOVE the idea of using an armoire or entertainment center for a flower chamber. Ent Cents especially don't look weird if they are locked, and have cables running out the back... that IS where you keep your expensive stereo stack, after all!
