Small space prep! Help =D

[chulainn]

So my grow space is gonna be like 1.6f by 1.6f. It's my first time so I'm on planning on 1 or 2 pots. I want it to be done professionally though. It's an open closet, as in I took down the folding door just to place my sound system in there, using my moms huge ass closet space.

I'm gonna be using CFL's, actually that's my first problem, I have no sockets in my bedroom, NONE. Do they sell sockets on a cord that then plug into an outlet?

I wanna conceal this, for lots of reasons, my mother NOT being one of them.. I have a sister, what's that saying Loose Lips Sink Ships? In my case Rubber Duckies. I don't want it growing everywhere also. Just trying to figure out what I would fabricate this out of, I would also cover it with mylar sheeting, everybit counts right.

My first strain is gonna be White Widow, ever since I heard about it, just fell in love with the name, plus it looks nice!

Probably just use 2* 5 gallon pots, start to finish, I hear that works. I have carpet laid out in my closet space, but draining.. aighh, Should I elevate them over a tub that I could empty out every now and then?

Am I looking to far into this? I just want it to be clean, and easy to take of.

Thanks for your time folks, sincerely,
Zute

I am in your EXACT same position only I have already started, so I cant wait for some advice too. Do you mean compact flourescants? The main problem is humidity control. Its hard to keep a small area humid with lights on. So far my plant has only two leaves, not including the two roundish ones.

Yeah compact fluorescent. I'll find a way for the humidity, but yeah man, i'm pretty excited.

First off your only going to be able to get 1 to 2 plants in there. Secondly it would be best to put the door back up.

Secondly, yes they do have those. They are called extension plugs. Go to your local hardware store and pick up a nice heavy duty one with like 6 plug-ins. You'll also want to read about how to use CFLs, and what amount of Ks you need during the different stages.

Keeping it concealed is all up to you. If you can clearly see MJ plants growing your not doing a good job. Now as for them growing every where you can trim, clone, or prune them. If you are growing in a speaker box (not quite for sure, I will need more info on how your set up is) then yes you will want to Mylar everything, but that also goes for if you are just growing in the back of a closet and using the speaker system as a 'block'.

As for drainage, it is generally said that just putting down plastic is best. Helps keep humidity in. However, yes you can do what you are talking about. There are also other options like Hydo-Kits that you can check out.

You should also have everything planned out. Especially if you live in a country that prohibits growth of Mj. You'll always want to keep an extra bulb just in case of a burn out. Extra nutrients, just in case you run out on a Holiday and every place is closed or if you have to get them online then it could take up to weeks to get them. Not to mention that if you don't take care of drainage and keep the humidity at the right level then you will get mold and rot-bud.

Hope this helps a little bit. If you could be a bit more specific on your "blue print" and how everything will work then maybe I can help you a bit more. It can be a problem and just an overall bad experience if you do not take good cautions and do a bit of preplanning.

Yea, doc laid that out well.
You can never look too far ahead, find out as much as you can.

Thanks alot for your input, much appreciated. Just wanted to clarify something, I have no Bulb Sockets in my room whatsoever, so If I get any type bulb, I have nothing to screw it into, that's what I meant.
