I'm a pot head and it's been four months since my last high! Cry with me. I decided to grow my own. After numerous arguments turned to conversations and now jokes with my wife, she agrees that as long as it grows naturally, then i may consume it; she's even agree to take a hit or two.
She has given up her shoes and purses closet ( I know!) for my green thumb's delight! The space measures approximately 5'Lx5'Wx10'H and I'm have a few worries as I try to turn the space into my sanctuary.
I'm primarily concerned with the ventilation, but I have read that a handful of plants will not create a harmful environment which would require in/out flow of air. True or false?
Secondly, power usage spike? How do I feel safe running lights for such extended hours?
Another thought is the lighting. How do I get the room ready with only on ceiling light and no outlets?
I'll post pictures and possibly video of the cleared space once i get a new wardrobe for my wife's shoes and purses. I am looking for a sponsor, locally is available. Someone that will help from germination to consumption.
I look forward to a bountiful fall and long :hippy: winter
welcome to can.com man, and say hi to your lady, anyone willing to give up her closet for her man is ok by me, lol

anyway, to try and asnwer some of your questions

first, that's a great sized space but to really benefit, you have to divide it up into 2 spaces (one for flowering and one for the mommas and clones)
the easiest way to do that is with Panda plastic sheeting like this

you can get it in sheets if you don't want to get a whole role, just not at this web site.

and you are right to be concerned about ventilation, without it, your plants won't live.

what you need to do is spend some time here deciding what fits your circumstances

as far as lights go, CFL's (ESL's?) work well, are cheap to buy and run, and, if after a while you decide growing isn't for you, you can use them around the house.

if you take a walk through my imaginary garden, i talk about my lights and you might find other info of interest.

anyway, good luck and God bless man
