New grower, personal use

  1. I am a college student, not really looking to grow commercial size plants, just simply my own plant so that I will not have to keep on buying weed, and i can smoke my own. I have literally no clue where to begin, but I do have a big box and plenty of places to start. Any tips on simple one plant growing?
     
  2. You're not trying a dorm room grow, are you? Just asking, it can lead to expulsion.
     
  3. no no, i have my own place off campus haha. I just simply kept my weed in a shoe box when I was in a dorm, didnt grow though. Along with alcohol haha. College woo
     
  4. I always tell people to start with this video series. You'll know all the basics of marijuana cultivation in less than an hours time.

  5. Thanks Viper, I am a new grower as well, and found the video highly informative, although I won't be able to follow their advice and use HID lights. +rep
     
  6. Yeah that's alright. I don't use HID's either as I don't have the money or space for them. Fluoros work just fine for smaller budgets and spaces.
     
  7. hey OP you might want to look into PC grows, or just micro or stealth grows, their usually small quite well contained set-ups, perfect for personal growing,

    one thing most new growers do is check out the grow box/room gesign section, its great for ideas of things u can do ur the space(s) thats how i built my first box, using plans from on here, plus the guys will always be happy to answer any Q's u have about their set-up's,

    as you going small you likely to end up using CFL's bulbs(basically those energy saving bulbs u see)

    guide to CFL's to get u going

  8. Hey guys I am also a newb on here looking to grow for strictly personal use. I have an empty PC tower but I just do not trust myself with doing the work (not yet anyways). I was looking on the net at this:
    The Veg Box Stealth PC Grow Box

    I know the price may seem high for what it is, I would just rather have the work all done sort to speak. Would this be a good setup to start off with? I was reading about LST and I figure it is small enough to be stealth but large enough to generate a good supply for myself. Thanks and cheers everyone a lot of informative info on here :smoking:
