Growing in an apartment

This. I couldn't handle growing with someone else unless I had known that person for over 10 years and was best friends. Even then, it's better to do it alone.

People can flip pretty quick when they're threatened with a felony and a couple years in prison.

Yeah for a first time grow I HIGHLY recommend saving for a proper setup, instead of rigging it up and regretting it later. You obviously need ventilation in any setup, and noise dampening would only be applicable for a higher cfm/dB blower. I was just explaining the other end of the spectrum of what you could do in an apartment.

Just remember you've got these areas to be concerned about.

-IR
-Heat
-Noise
-Electricity
-Smell
-Invasive neighbors/tenants

This goes without saying (must have missed it) do it with no other people, and don't say a fucking word about it.

Good place to start is uh this forum

 

u can buy seeds online from many sites and even choose wat u wanna grow just google it ull find them

 

For seeds:

Check out the grow section here in the grasscity forum, I believe theres links and tutorials on how to get started.

 

first rule of growing is not to tell anyone who u arent involed in the grow op, dont even tell ur friends

 

yea its safe and not tht sketchy at all dnt worry

 

That's probably the most popular site online to get seeds from, very trust worthy. Make sure you get feminized seeds.

The stages of growing are like this:

Germination (getting the seed ready to be planted)
Planting (planting the germinated seed in the soil)
Vegetation (the plant sprouts and begins to grow)
Flowering (the majority of the plant is fully grown and now is producing buds)
Harvest (the plant produced buds, and are now ready to be collected)

 

the light schedule if very important too wen u veg ur plant u keep it under the lights for either 24 hrs a day of light or 18 hrs light 6 hrs dark. wen its time to flower u put it under the lights for 12 hrs of light 12 hrs darkness, this will make the plants think tht fall is coming which is wen they start producinng weed outside.

 

I do not recommend growing in an apartment or any rented space where cannabis cultivation is prohibited by law. The risks are high, and you will be disrespecting the owner's property. This can result in legal ramifications on their part as well. Also, if your operation is deemed a “grow-op” it can negatively impact their property's equity.

But since you seem adamant on going ahead with it anyway, at least do it right and as safely as possible.

Pay attention to the Closet Grows featuring CFLs. IMO, this is the best method for a beginner requiring stealth.

I would not recommend 2 plants to start. Begin with one. That will help you understand the odour levels you will be dealing with in your limited living space. Do not underestimate the odour of flowering cannabis.

I would suggest Lowryder 2 as a low-odour and high-production strain. It is also auto-flowering, so you won't need to switch the lights to 12/12. Check the link in my sig for a similar grow I ran a while back. If you prefer a strong indica, I can vouch for Afghan Kush Ryder – it is also a 9 week autoflower, but it is higher odour.

Please note that "low-odour" does not mean "odourless." You will require odour control. This may come in the form of Ona Gel and/or an air scrubber if the strain you use is particularly smelly.

Foothill Carbon Filters on ebay make some good quality self-contained (filter/fan) scrubbers that are reported to work well in closet grows. foothill-carbon-filters | eBay

Please pay very close attention to safety, such as by never placing electrical cords on the ground where spills may happen.

Understand that if you do this you are taking a big risk. You are young and just starting out in life. Don't stumble right out of the gate.

Peace.

 

I ran a 600w hps in a 4x4 grow tent stuffed into a 5x5 closet with a 400cfm fan and carbon filter and grew upto 9 plants. I never had a smell and never had any problems with the apartments. I even had maintenance over a few different times to repair things and never had any issues. The only real issue when someone is over is the noise. I made sure I had a speed box for the fan so I could turn it down or off real fast if I had to. After you turn off your fan you would have atleast an hour or so before the smell would linger its way out of the tent and the closet. So yes it is possible, especially if your apartment is really a house. Just be stealthy as possible with it.
