If I was just growing simply to have something to smoke, I could stop now and be set for a hell of a long time, but that's not my objective. I would get bored real quick growing the same strains over and over again. If you are growing to sell I can totally understand that approach though.
You have a lot to look forward to. I'm just wrapping up my first grow and starting my second, but so far it's been a hell of a lot of fun.
Personal use and for a friend with MS who has legitimate needs. I will likely give away excess quantity to my brother and one best friend from home. I don't want it sitting around either. I have no interest in selling, and giving it out is a quick way for people to spread the word that you are growing so I'll give out nothing locally. Like you, I like the idea of having a humidor filled with a variety of buds.

The reason I'm looking at cloning is because the damn seeds are pricey and because I will do scrog grows. Clones branch much earlier and more vigorously than seedlings. Scrog grows lend themselves to many branches - you might look into it as it is great space saver, makes the best use of light, and pumps the yield and quality. Where do you get your seeds? I'm looking for that now. You can't order directly from Barneys, no?

That's the plan - carbon filter + Ona. I've oversized the fan by 100 CFM so I can dial it up or down as needed. Ona in the vent room. I will splurge on odor control. It is critical.

hope it helped.
Yeah what an idea. Brilliant no? Definitely a stoner that came up with that one! I read a great tutorial on it a while back. Unfortunately the stack in my house is nowhere near my grow room. Otherwise I would be all over it! Thanks for thinking of me. I'm pretty sure I can adequately deal with this issue using a traditional carbon filter.
bigsby Reviewed by bigsby on . Odor Control - Which Way to Go? So I'm gearing up for my first indoor grow. I've got my lumber and drywall and as soon as I knock out a couple more projects around the house I'm clear to build. My grow room will be 5'W x 6'L x 7'H (210 csf) although my actual grow area will be smaller with 6 - 8 plants in a scrog setup. I've been busy accumulating knowledge and have found these boards to be full of wizards and grow-geeks, all very willing to help. In my situation, odor is the number one concern. It is a basement grow in a Rating: 5
