Smallest least smelling grow possible

Discussion in 'Micro Grows' started by ganjathegod420, Mar 22, 2015.

  1. I'm planning on growing a single plant in my room, I'm kind of limited on money( around 60-70 bucks) I can get seeds from my friend, and a cfl light and desk lamp. My question is what is the smallest and least dank smelling way I can grow in my room. I have to be discreet as possible. I was thinking about using a red solo cup and hiding the grow set up behind my desk out of site, but air ventilation is a concern, so is bud mold during flowering. I'm doing a 12-12 light cycle from right when there seeded. Also I can't really order anything online, because I can't raise suspicion from my parents. So, basically. The smell, smallest possible growing conditions, air ventilation, preventing bud mold, and I can't open a window, keep that in mind( I was thinking using activated carbon filters and a fan to blow out of the grow setup through a hole in my desk)

    Please help! Thanks❤️

  2. 12/12 from seeds does not shorten the amount of time it takes to flower. it will, in fact make them bigger and less manageable (stealth)
     
    growing weed in ur house with parents who are (or would be) opposed is an ingenious idea though.
     
    good luck with that[​IMG]
     
  3. They wouldn't necessarily be mad, they would just throw my plants out, but I prefer them not knowing

    Sorry to break it to you, but without ventilation and a carbon filter of some sort, once pistils start showing there is no way you could cover up that scent of weed growing. Even a low odor strain like northern lights still smells like weed growing. If I didn't have my carbon filter you'd be able to smell my small plants from outside no problem. It will cling to your clothes, walls, everything, and it's a very distinct smell


    Please for your own safety consider spending money on proper ventilation or just ask your parents dude. I'm guaranteeing you without a filter or an enclose grow space they will know what's up, save them the trouble and just ask.

    If you have an old computer laying around, you could gut the case out and put a couple PC fans with filters cause along with smell is the problem of light leaks. Your plants need 12 hours of darkness and you can't interrupt their sleep or they will Hermie and focus on creating seeds rather than some bomb ass bud


    Moral of my long on story? Get your blessings from m and dad or consider spending more to be stealth lol. Weed growing smells a lot more distinct than smoking it. Not trying to discourage you at all, but there are some major risks involved with growing pot. Do it safely kid
     
  5. it can be done bro ive done it when I was living with parents. wouldnt say its a good idea though but if your keen to do it I can help u bro.
    I managed to figure out and how to construct a effective box and do this right under their noses when I was a youngster with help of this site so im sure if you follow these instructions and research everything ive mentioned and anything else anybody else mentions you can do this very cheap and effectively. and if I have made any of this sound hard, honestly it is not hard and you can do it in a day if you have everything. the thing that takes longest can sometimes be sourcing items
     
    if you make any fuck ups when making the box, there is ussaly a way to fix something so don't give up just keep persevering. positive attitude! oh yea! alright![​IMG]
     
    now you need a box to do it in to start with. you will probably need to find something that already is a box as apose to making one because im assuming you donot have tools. you really need some tools for all of this but there is usually a way to do things for no cost if your smart enough. people have grown with carboard boxes before, but if it is not thick cardboard your going to have to support the whole thing up somehow.
     
    you need atleast one pc fan and a bag of activated carbon. you should be able to get carbon pellets at pet stores of anywhere where they sell aquarium suplys. cost 10-20 dolars. remember get pellets not sheets
     
    your going to want an exhaust fan which will suck air from your box and blow it out into your room so it is important you have a carbon filter. put your fan on the outside of your box near the top somewhere and mark with a pencil or pen the outline of the fan and then find a way to cut your mark out for your hole. you might want to cut a 1/4 inch or so inside your line so your fan cannot actually fit through the hole. this could make it easier to fix your fan to the box if that makes sense. when I say fix, I mean secure, wither that be with screws or nails or zip ties, glue or anything you can think of.
     
    now when you place your fan on the box to fit it in place to fix it make sure it is infact blowing air away from the box. do your research on fan placement to ensure you put your fan in the right place too
     
    now your going to have to have to somehow make something to fit over the fan which holds your carbon fibre so that while the fan is sucking in air it is being pulled through the activated carbon and eliminating your smell.
     
    also you will need intake holes of possibly an intake fan. your could cut a hole in your box and make a carbon filter by fitting mesh either side of the box and fill with carbon pellets. or you could just have a fan that sucks air in but it will need to not be as strong as your exhaust fan as you need negative pressure. so you are probably going to have to splice a cell phone charger or some sort of adapter to your fan. seeing as how you are doing it on the cheap
     
    and your going to need atleast 90w of lighting, go to a hardware store and get sockets and bulbs. get the highest watt bulbs you can find and make sure the sockets you buy actually fit your bulbs as there are multiple versions of fittings for bulbs. now you have your sockets you need to wire them to a plug. I take plugs as in plugs that plug into your wall from old appliances and electrical items  and strip the plastic covering off at the ends of the chord so the bare wires are exposed. now you should have two wires showing, a black and a red one (there are variations of these colours tha come from different factorys and countrys so yeah, google is your friend) then you insert them into the socket and secure them in the socket. there are two screws in the socket that will hold the wires in place so tighten up these wires and plug your bulb in and your away, bobs your uncle. the reason I say you should do it this way is sockets cost 4-8 dollars ussally so its probably your cheapest option.
     
    you should also paint the inside of your box white, or if you can afford wrap with horticultural grade mylar.
     
    once you do all this you can sprout your seeds and get into it! just try make sure you have done all these things before you start growing because it is a nuisance working on a box that has plants in it.
     
     
    so just a recap...
     
    you will need
     
    The grow box:
    - a box =free
     
    Ventilation:
    - one or two pc fans = free or $10-$20 if you cant find any
    - adapters to wire up to fans, could be a cellphone charger etc = free or $10-$20 if you cant find any
    - some sort of mesh to hold your carbon pellets in place while allowing air to travel through = possibly free
     
     
    Reflection:
    - mylar or paint = free or $10-20
     
     
    Lighting:
    - atleast 4 cfls (20w+ each) = $5 each total $20
    - 3 sockets (instead of 4 as you said you have a lamp) = $10 - $20
     
    Miscellaneous items :
    -Multi plug = $5 - $10
    - nails, screws, zip ties etc = free of $10 if you cant find anything for free
    - and just for any other bits and bobs just allow another $20
     
    so once you work all that out you might be able to get everything for $50-$70 maybe. ball park figure.
     
    but yeah I hope you do go ahead with this as It took me a while to write all this out. keep us posted!
     
    Results may vary, don't try this at home kids, class dismissed [​IMG]
     
  6. for the least dank smelling plant grow out a few bagseeds outside til like 5 nodes and find out which phenos the least odor then grow that one
