No one said you needed a grow room. Many people have a grow BOX.

Look in grow logs. In there you can see a thread called tiny DWC. THAT guy is growing hydroponic in a COMPUTER CASE!

He however read a LOT! He's using CFLs that are CLOSE to the plant, not 3-5 feet away.

HOWEVER! Is it really worth loosing you college education over this? If you were to get a plant up to flower. It will smell a LOT! Your dorm supervisor will surely catch you once that smell picks up!

I say drop it! Kill that twig and throw it away a couple blocks down the street before it cost you everything.

It's already a failior anyway!
