Hmm, what are you going to do about keeping a complete dark sycle durring flowering? Can you come up with a small light proof container?
Also, do you want your parents to flip the lid if they find this? Perhaps I am wrong in assuming that you live with your parents. But just because you come up on a seed, pot and light ext and it all seems so easy, doesn't mean that the consaquences for getting caught arn't big. Just something to really think about.
Have you thought about light reflective material? What about smell? Also, you need at least one more light as well, warm spect for flower would be best. Yield? The way it's set up now, maybe a couple J's at best.

sry i wasnt specific enough. but under my bed is not visable...its like a storage space that we just keep junk in...(yes i live w/ my parents lol). and my bed is backed up to a wall and there is a plug under the bed so no ext cords or anything will b visable...as for light proof under my bed gets no light...but as a desguise i was thinkin mayb i could put the grow in a big cardboard box and paint the inside of it white for reflection...as for the smell i was thinkin i would just lay charcoal on the inside of the box (if i can use a cardboard box) and have the fan blowing on it and i hear it gets rid of the smell pretty good. and for yeild a couple j's? haha that sucks....ive been told much better than that...i plan on doing a lot of LST...also another thought is mayb i could do a SOG ....have like 6plants at the bottom of one box? btw in SOG i kno its not much but how much does each plant yeild about?

thx for any help ppl, later

If your looking to keep this from your parents, it will never happen under your bed IMO.

[drumanick0]

first of all....whats IMO? i keep seeing it lol, but yeah its a safe spot....my parents never go under there....we store extra blankets down there and whenever they need one they ask me anyways....they prolly go down there.....once every 2-3yrs, so its safe. any other input.....that will help me? thx for any help peace

IMO = In My Opinion

And I wasnt getting at the fact that your parents would look under there. A cardboard box with charcoal sitting on the bottom of it isnt going to get rid of the smell for you. From what i've read it takes a pretty well made carbon scrubber to do a good job on the oders. I'm not tryin to bust balls dude, just tryin to save you from the inevitable. But we all learn from mistakes

My helpful advise to you is to find a better place to grow if your going to do this. Theres some pretty insane cabinet builds in these forums, and people are always putting cabinets out to the curb for the junkman, so if I were you i'd go hunting for a good sized cabinet, bring it home, tell mom I found it and wanted to use it as storage or something, and actually put things in it for a couple weeks like books or whatever. Let mom get comfortable seeing it, and in the meantime do some research here in the closet/cabinet growing forum, gather supplies you'll need, ask questions, and then build a sweet grow cabinet.

This is just what I would do.

You could even lock it up.

[notorious P.O.T]

with the sog method you would need to use clones... from seed they will get too big to fit under your bed before you can even start to flower.. then they will double or even triple in size after they have reached maturity!

[drumanick0]

lol trust me i would....but i dont have the space for another "storage" thing...or dresser or anything....like if i can grow this is about the only spot i can think of that i would feel comfortable w/ it being there. so there is seriously no way i can grow under there? i guess i could look up carbon scrubbers....but if it smells a little i dont even care cuz they kinda know i do it...i wanted to just try to get 2 small plants goin under there under some CFL's....and since it wouldnt b much i didnt think i would have to worry a ton about smell.....

any tips...advice...help? thx peace out

Don't grow under your bed.
If you have an electrical problem you will burn your house down with all the flammable blankets, bedframe, etc.
If you live with your parents, either get their permission to grow indoors in a proper space, or grow outdoors on public land.
