Yep, thats right... I might at as well as start planning now and making notes...
So i've decided I'd like to grow my own after I return home to Cali next week so i'm not running around trying to find a dealer all the time.
Problem - Parents. Yea sure, I may be 21 but I'm in college, broke, and for now taking a break from school by living at home and working on my Firefighting career, cheapest way to do thats by living with the rents... God this part sucks.
A friend suggested to me... Grow under my bed.
I plan on only growing one plant for now to experiment, and because I don't have the room/security for growing more than that.
When I get home I plan on talking and planning a little more for this grow with my friend to figure out this set up.. But for starters, I have a pretty big futon(queen size) with drawers underneath, and I could even leave it in the couch position and grow behind there.
I've been doing alot of reading on here the past month and have come to the conclusion that the best way for me to grow under the bed is LSTing the plant, and possibly wrapping some sort of stiff, yet flexible enough for me to bend.. Maybe chicken or tomato plant wires, and wrap around the stem *before* say its third set of leaves.. to allow the plant to grow "around" like a vine, rather than upwards through my bed, or if behind, above where even a casual eye could catch it....
Wouldnt require alot of light, so I can buy 2-3 very low watt CFLs and put them "inside" the plant for maximum exposure w/o burning the plant either.
As for air movement, I have my computer desk right next to my bed, and thankfully that I'm also a computer nerd at heart, I've got a big PSU that I can just string 120mm fans underneath my bed, i have a couple that even move about 90cfms
As for grow suggestions... I have no clue where to start in terms of what I would keep the plant in, what type of soil, what sort of ferts, or anything like that goes...
Remember.. This is in a bedroom and is going to be as stealthy as i can make it. Thank god parents start checking in your room as you get older lol
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I wont be just reading what you guys say.. I'll be writing this down, printing pictures(if any are posted) and making a little mini binder-guide for this first time grow
And hopefully within the next two or three weeks, ill be starting the Mushu's Underbed Grow :P
Thanks in Advance everyone!
Edit: As a thought looking around just now... I could potentially build a small grow box behind the funton(it never moves.. damn things made of solid wood, guess thats what the rents get for wanting it to last along time.. Too heavy to move around alot lol) and grow inside the growbox, and move it to the closet for a day or two if I ever decide to re-arrange the room or something, that way it is also somewhat portable and not stuck in one specific spot... Just a thought
