now maybe this should be in beginners but i cannot seem to get any help over there ive noticed alot of times threads like the one that im about to post get ignored and it kind of sucks because a lot of people come here to get help with shit like this but most of the time it seems like more of a place to brag than to help people out sorry, that was completely unrelated honestly. id just like a little help if anyone would but anyway this is going to be my first grow and it will be indoor i stay in my girlfriends parents basement and they don't come down much but still sometimes so i decided to set myself up a little stealth box i used an old speaker cab that i had sitting around and gutted it completely then i cover the interior with some tin foil to help reflect some light next im going to put some fans for circulation and a filter for smell its about three feet tall and its eleven inches wide eight inches deep i think it should be plenty big enough for a decent size plant my biggest concern right now is really what to use for lighting ive got an old black light that i could take the bulb out of and use its alot wider than the box though and id have to hang it sideways and i dont know if that would make the plant stretch of if the light is just too big for the box all together and im not sure exactly what kind of bulb i should use also i found this little pot that has like a tray at the bottom and you pour the water straight into there to water it then the root just take whatever they need to theres no over watering maybe someone could tell me if this would be a good idea to use and ive already started sprouting some seeds but i went to look at soil and to be honest i just was kind of clueless about it all so if someone could tell me a good soil and some nutes maybe? i know im asking a lot and im still fairly new but im just looking for a little help on this ill keep a grow journal and everything if anyone is interested i would really appreciate if anyone could answer any of this for me heres some pictures of my unfinished project front of the box back of the box back opened up fancy little pot thing i was talking about this clearly is unfinished and im completely open to suggestion please help me out??
that box should be good i see alot of ppl use thos i personally have a pc box that i purchased online for a great deal. about the lights id go with cfl and just put as many as you can safely put in there and in my opinion id make them adjustable. for 1 get rid of that foil, does more harm than good. go to the wal mart camping section and get you an emergency blanket and use that or even just get you some mylar the blanket is the cheap rout. the pot should do just fine other than that id prefer RESEARCH and alot there is a shit load of info on the web you just gotta read.....GL
yeah ive been doing alot of reading and its got me rething the foil im really just afraid that the foil will raise the temp too quickly but other than that im just on here so i can get answers to my specific situation what kind of light cycle should i use?
bad enough risking your own parent's house. even worse that it is your girlfriend's parents. How do they feel about you growing in their house?
