first grow room

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by newtosmoking25, Feb 7, 2011.

  1. Hey guys, I was messing around in my basement today and found this small Cubbie that is under my stairs. Its prob about 6 feet high and 3 feet wide. I was thinking I could grow some personal bud in there. Here's the thing I want to do it in a cost effective way but produce as much good quality yield as possible. I know anyone can grow it that's simple, but growing it right and producing a good quality bud is my objective. Now since I'm new to weed in general I was wondering what would be a good strain or two to grow. I have enough room for maybe 2 big plants. So I want to grow two different kinds. Also if I'm looking for a cost effective way to grow what kind of equipment would I need? I also heard from someone that there is a lining you can use to make it so there is no heat signature from your grow room what is it? Thanks guys!
     
  2. ak48 & scrog sounds best for you. dont worry about anti detection film for something that small!
     
  3. Ya but what's important to me is quality not quantity. If I could grow like 2 ounces of Really good stuff then I'd be happier then a pound of stuff that is mediocre. Where I'm from we can't get good bud in this area so I'm looking to grow my own and to start a new hobby
     
  4. Og kush! & scrog. do research on scrog to maximize yield.

  6. I keep seeing these videos of small closet grows and they are only producing 9 grams. SO where is everyone getting this one plant can produce multiple ounces stuff? Like do you have to grow it in SCROG format to produce that? I want quality with quantity.
     
  7. Bump, kinda need the help im gonna start this in two weeks
     
  8. Hey, maybe I can offer a little help, I was in a similar situation. I moved, couldn't access the medicinal grade cannabis I need, so I grew a bit of my own for the first time.

    My setup was a grow box made out of ply-board, 1x1's, and nails that measured 14" deep, 28" wide, and 5 feet tall. I sealed the edges, wallpapered it with a space blanket then made a door, put a lock on it and kept it in the closet.

    4.5 months (to the day) later I was harvesting my 2 little trees from their 5 gallon buckets.

    Yeah I made a few mistakes along the way, as it was my first grow, but I walked out with 2.9 oz dry weight of something that could have gone for 125/q (but it was just for me:smoke:)

    Best advice I can offer from what I experienced are these tips.
    -Use CFL bulbs, 2 different kinds, one for vegging, one for flowering. Keep them as close as possible, without burning the plant. We're talking just a couple inches. These bulbs are fairly cheap and you can get them one two or more at a time. I recommend using at least 100 watts per plant (actual wattage used, not incandescent equivalent!) The bigger you want your plants, the more lights you need to use.

    -Don't cramp your roots in beer cups! Be sure to give your plants plenty of room for root growth.

    -Keep fans on your babes 24/7 to ensure that their stems and branches gain strength resulting from the "wind".

    -Don't over nute, Don't over water! Use lots of perlite in your medium to ensure some airy-ness to your soil.

    I can't think of anything else to add at this point. Best of luck, ask if you have any other questions!
     
  9. Id run some sour deisel. Its a very hard plant to hurt likes high nutes so hard to burn and is a heavy yeilder. I would start with the same strain as sometimes when you get 2 different strains that like different strenghts of nutes its hard to figure out if one starts getting deficiencys or problems. Your going to need a fan for air circulation a 400 to 600 hps , need to think about smell and how to go about air intake and outake. ph pen.
     
  10. I start my plant under a thousand watt I know its excessive but its what i do HPS....
    I plant straight into the 50 gal barrel cut in half. 3 plants. let grow 4 weeks keep tying it down to barrel with string and screw into the barrel. let bud 8-12 weeks Ive gotten 7.5 ounces from one plant thers 3 each.=$$$$$$$$
    ADVANCED NUTRIENTS GRANDMASTER ONLY WAY TO GO
