Serious new guy... avoid if 'dumb' questions annoy you...

[chonger10]

Hello everyone,

Just got back from seeing a distant friend and we smoked a few joints. On leaving his home (been there for few nights) he just handed me a few seeds for me to 'play' with.

Heck, I have no other interest other than just seeing 'what' happens.

He told me they are these:

and I have two of them. I can't be 100% sure though but he's pretty certain.

I work a 40hr week for crappy pay so my question is this:

What must I do/buy to attempt to grow these to a 'OK' or below par, smoke? Keeping purchasing to an absolute bare min..

If these newbie questions are too much please let me know. I have read a little on growing for the past two hours but it seems way out my cost range sadly.

Hope someone can help and guide me. I noticed many folks take photos of their grows etc and I'd be willing to do that (to show how cheap it could be done if it works!).

Thanks, :hippy:

Someone mentioned apartments. If OP is in an apartment it's not a good idea to grow, as many apartments keep a key to your place so they can schedule spraying for bugs, maintenance, etc. I don't know if this is the case here, but just handing out my warning. I nearly had to beat an exterminator unconcious once because he wanted to spray my closet for bugs. Luckily he stopped before opening the door, and came downstairs quickly when I offered him a toke :rastasmoke:.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply!

This isn't a problem, though. No one has access, only me. Maintenance are only for the grounds and aren't here much, my place isn't that well kept, but it's cheap :thumbsup:

What do you think of my grow box? I'm getting paid Monday so will be purchasing the materials but I'll digging for some suggestions on those

[chonger10]

Hey guys,

Like I said - step by step - so this is my intended design. Of course, I haven't added my air intake/exhaust however I'll add this once the box is built (which will be done in a week, need to get paid to purchase the materials, plus need to read up some more).

Any suggestions on materials, tips or other suggestions?

I have ordered a second hand book regarding growing :hippy:

If my drawing is poor it's because I was high with MS paint :thumbsup:

So, does two plants look my limit here? (I did mention having limited seeds but I'll purchase some more, had a small pay rise the last two months)

"If OP is in an apartment it's not a good idea to grow, as many apartments keep a key to your place so they can schedule spraying for bugs, maintenance, etc."

By law they're required to give you notice except for emergencies. If youcan prove their intrustion was NOT an emergency, you win in court.

Been there, done that.

I've got a litigation record that is rather thick. My most recent victim - Electronic Arts for the Spore DRM. now I'm about to kill Sony for taking away my fat PS3 capabilities.
I'm guaranteed to win according to California Consumer Protection laws.

If your doing it on the cheap i would recommend cfls as they are cheap to buy, have a long lumen life, dont get that hot and are cheap to run.

I would reccomend this light to you as i own it:
300w Blue Spectrum CFL hydroponics reflector grow light on eBay (end time 09-Apr-10 16:12:21 BST)

I know it looks costly but you need to remember that in the long run you will get atleast an oz of chronic for around 80 quid which is deals on wheels.

That light comes with a veg light, which you need to vegative growth for you plant. You will need to buy a seperate bulb for flowering which is around £30, this will produce the buds.

Hope this helps getting you started but read a lot of the forums on here and you will learn what to do in no time.

Why not fing a place outside for them? If you want cheap that is the way to go. Keep in mind you get out of it what you put into it.

I second this, you can grow pretty good outdoor bud for $10+ if you have a secure, sunny location.

Thank you for the replies.

Outdoor isn't possible - I only have a small apartment.

I can probably afford the lighting mention in the first reply in maybe a month. Then is is basic costs such as the pots, soil etc?
