I want to do a personal grow inside my closet but i dont know what kind of lights to get. Ive done an outdoor grow in my dads garden but he was the one who managed the water supply and nutes. He also eventually derooted my plant without even telling me he was going too, and now i want to try again, but this time do a closet grow. So i guess what im asking is what materials do i need for only 1 or 2 plants and what strains grow best indoor?
The Search Strain works great. Indoors and outdoors. Read the tutorials in the indoor section. It'll explain lights, soils, methods, etc. Depending on the method of grow you choose, will also help decide what strain will work best for your situation. Ex. A traditional outdoor Indica strain may grow to be 5 feet tall, which for most is no good in a closet/indoor/micro grow, but if you LST the plant, or if you SCROG the plant, or if you choose to grow in a SOG, then plant height becomes a less important factor. I'm only on my first week of my first grow, using bag seed for a couple of months until my greenthumb is full and lush then I'll start tinkering with quality genetics.
Im strongly against kids growing while living at home or with roomates. While that being said if you have 350 you need to just buy htg grow kit and build a diy carbon filter. If you dont have 400 to drop on growing your probably not ready. You also need to do a lot of research.

If you enjoy growing and enjoy smoking, its all good. We all dont have huge amounts of money, but we try. That last post was for shit! What a great way to discourage a brother from doing a grow on his own! Why not just send him out to the projects and tell him to watch his back!
well I wasn"t raised with a silver spoon in my mouth. A indoor grow cost money to do it properly. $400 is on the low end,once you add in lights soil/hydropontics electricity,fans,ventalatiob,carbon filter etc. I assume your young if you consider $400 bucks a huge amount of money. Also I do discourage people growing in their parents home. In the US they can take everything they own. This is cars,houses,property etc. In my state they can sell your shit even before your convicted of a crime. I'm really thrown off by the projects comment. I gave the kid a starting point,you have to do the prep work before you grow. Thanks for calling my post shit Bryce and welcome to the city.
Seriously Bryce? Your post is for shit. You have a valid point about enjoying smoking, but how does one know he enjoys growing unless he has or tries? I just started a micro rig. PC case 65 50 bucks in CFL lights, Fox Farm soil, nutes, perlite, cloning gel,planters etc 140 bucks Another 40-50 bucks @ home depot on foil tape, wiring, etc. That's all just rough estimates right now. That right there is almost 350 bucks. So unless you plan on putting a seed outside and hoping for the best and taking whatever may come.... yes it's reasonable to start that you'll drop 350-400 to start and thats before I build my carbon scrubber btw. btw welcome to gc.
I have to agree with hatchplzhelp. It takes more than desire to grow properly. Expect to put time, research, and yes, money to do it right. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to grow, but if you go the cardboard box route with a CFL and tinfoil and wonder why your plant looks like shit don't come back and complain. Do it right the first time and you'll be rewarded for your efforts!
Thanks fo the advice everyone but money ain't a problem. My paychecks are around 600 every two weeks and my parents don't care if I grow..that's how I was able to do my first grow. My dad derooted the first plant because our alarm went off at the house when nobody was home and the cops usually walkthe perimeter of the property to see what's up. The gardens inthe backyard so the men in blue would of seen it IF they actually came. I go thru an 1/8 every 5 days which comes to be around $600 a month..But I'll do more research and keep you guys posted as I start and continue my grow!
Seriously? I'm almost 27 and married, I own my house and work full time, and I can tell you that 400 dollars is a huge amount of money.
Well, shelling out 400 for a perfectly functioning grow system plus the yields/quality you're gonna get it really isn't much at all...
there are people on here producing decent bud with very cheap setups..from what i have read here it seems like you can grow 2 decent plants at a time with CFLs for about 100 bucks maybe not Amsterdam quality but they look good to me
Yeah I heard that too..I think I just need to do more research and read some books. I wanna be able to grow my own stuff with having it pay out in the long run. Like have a decent amount after harvest..not just a quarter or half o.
Hatch has it dead on but I fucked up and gave Bryce the rep,...180 please. 400 is EXTREMELY low balling it, closer to 1k minimal, 3k to have something decent. Remember, what you put in is what you get out so if you aren't willing to commit, save a few hundred and don't. Bryce, are you the guy that calls people pussy's for telling their buddies it's not safe to run across the highway? We're rying to let him know what reality is really like as a grower, including the costs, time and personal investment involved. Too many people think u buy a seed a cfl, a fan and you're smokin dank in 16 weeks. Not the case. Bryce, ignore that +rep, it was meant to be negative. Want a real idea? My set up (see journal in sig) runs a perpetual 4 plant closet grow. Set up was $2500 Monthy maintenance costs $250-280 Cost is all irrelevant,however, till you've spent the time reading. A month or 2 reading as many journals and stickies as you can. Ask Questions. Educate before you propagate Good Luck!! Edit- Just made a quick video at lights out.
