Unfortunately it's not very likely that your correct. I'm not exactly the social-butterfly type. I'm more the type that has a small circle of very close friends. In fact I've been hangning out with the same 4 guys for the last eight years, and I'm possitive that none of them smoke. One of them used to, but gave it up when he went in to the Catholic seminary. And I heard a rumor that one friend's fiance's daughter's boyfriend *might* smoke, but I've never even met the guy. I'm sure there are some people at work who smoke - it's a pretty big building - but none that I know well enough to even bring up the subject with. I'm still looking though, just haven't hit paydirt yet.

Grow Style: 10 plants all growing on SoG will produce more than a "modest" amount of weed, especially for a newbie....If you get the 50/50 ratio nailed in your seeds, which is possible, then you're going to have 5 females.
|
Yeah, I understand that. My original wish was for a single female. In theory there *should* have been at least one female out of the four in my first attempt. The Canabis Gods laugh at me! lol. My decision to SoG 10 plants is born more out of frustration than anything else. With 8-10 plants, at least ONE of them should be female lol. If I do actually get 5 of them, then two will be put back into veg for later use. If I get more than 5, then I may need to thin the crop a bit...then again, might not. Oh, and if I get only a couple of girls, then I'll snag some clones before they go into full flower.

Even at 1/2 an ounce per plant that's still 2 1/2 ounces, or at least a years worth of smoke to the conservative smoker like myself. And yes, I smoke just about, if not, every day.

If I really end up with that much weed, then not too worried about the next crop. By the time I'd get around to needing another crop, if all else fails, I'll just buy some more seeds.

GROW LOCATION: There's nothing wrong with either a cabinet or a closet. Personal preference is all that matters really here. However, 5 or so plants in a cabinet is going to equal one fairly large cabinet, in which case it may be just as easy to regulate a closet's environment as it is to regulate the environment of a closet sized grow box/cabinet.
|
It's actually a large armoire style cabinet, so all 10 plants should fit ok, at least at first. Part of the problem with the closet is that it's still a closet...and going to work with all my clothes smelling like weed might be a bad thing lol.

GROW MEDIUM: ...I'd just go with soil....I wouldn't bother buying smaller pots...LIGHTING...THEE biggest tip I can give you though is to make sure you have something to check the pH in your soil, and that you don't get soil with time released ferts
|
Yeah, gonna stick with soil. As for the pots, I have 5 four-gallon ones right now. Will need more. will probably start with 1.5 gallon ones at the beginning to save space and such until I get them sexed. Lighting will stay with CFL's for now, until I see what happens with the heat since that was a problem with the first attempt. Already have a PH meter and finally (after three tries) found some non-fert soil. Got some of that left over and will use that for the seedlings.
Thanks for all the input. Much appreciated
