I would like to try and grow just enough bud for personal use, and for medical reasons. I smoked for thirty years, but having moved to another state found myself without any connections and at my age wasn’t about to start asking around. Plus, it sure has gotten expensive! It’s been several years!
I am thinking of using one of those resin storage sheds, like those made by Rubbermaid. Apr. 4’W x 6’H x 3’D. It would be in my bedroom, and stealthy, as I live in an apartment building. 400W switchable HPS and MH with a sealed air-cooled reflector. Circulating and exhaust fans. I know that hydroponics is the way to go, but it does look a bit risky for a first timer. I will have so many other things to master first. Is it as hard as it looks, or is it doable for a newbee? How much does it speed things up? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, how many plants could this set up accommodate?
