    Hey blades, Im trying to set up an extremely low budget, but successful and large wielding stealth grow. It takes place in a spare bathroom in my house that is currently undergoing remodeling.

    I really haven't sent to much up, i've basically reinforced the original walls, then added a few pieces to allow for a roof/top, to make it air tight.
    I have the means to do a few different ideas so i wanted to ask GC to help me do it the best i can for what space and money i have.

    Right now i only have on baby, and shes a random bag seed. Shes looking really healthy however, and keeps growing day by day.

    Here are some Goals i seek to accomplish, and questions i have.

    Goals:

    * I want to stay within a cheap to little or no budget.

    * I want it air tight so no bugs or random smells can go in or out, unless its through my ventilation system.

    * I want it to be completely stealth, no light, no air, no evidence.

    * I want it to be all soil, and i want the soil to be the fert. I only want to water.

    * I want to make almost everything i need from parts, i dont want to spend money if i can make it myself.

    * I want to do low stress training to get maximum yield.

    Questions:


    * What is a soil mixture (with ingredients), that produces consistently high yielding healthy plants and buds?

    * What are some sure fire ways to ensure i never get bugs, and if i do how to get rid of them?

    * What are some way to increase yield on a major budget?

    * What are some stealth growing tricks i should know and use?

    * What am i missing in my grow? Plan? Build?

    please help with any suggestions, critique, whatever.

  2. The fact you have one plant, it is bag seed, you're growing with CFL, and you're most likely an inexperienced grower...6 ounces seems lofty to me. I would think if you hit an ounce you would be doing good.
     
  3. if you want to max yield for your particular set up go read methods on training your plants
     
  4. i asked for setup ideas. i know how to grow and train my plants. i just needed advice of what to do to make it stealth
     
  5. Why not make a recessed lighting kinda thing? One ur done growing u add a mirror under and put a sink and u got ur vanity later.


    I think it all depends on ur time money and experience. 6 ounces does seem high especially for a bag seed. I mean. Do u even know If its fit good genes?

    Yield is not only dependent on training and growing and Etc but plant genetics as well
     
  6. I wouldnt worry about electricity bills much a 150w hps light cost about 10 bucks during veg and like 8 in flower. The more light the higher yield and with being a beginner id suggest more light. My first grow was 3 plants 550 watts and i got like 2 ounces. My second grow one plant 400w light and 14 ounces. Now i use a 1000w of light two plants and average about 900 grams a harvest. This takes time so as a new grower i wouldnt set a amount you want just try to get it finished and smokeable then work from there.
     
  7. so, some updates...Ive decided to trash the cfl idea, and just use it for now, until i acquire adequate lighting.

    also, i found a really good soil mix, that really only needs a little work here and there for maintenance. very simple.


     
  8. Not sure why people are so adamant about growing in soil. How much money have you spent on your room? I mean give some information, where are the pictures? What are the dimensions of the room? How big of a plant are you trying to grow? You say you want to make it stealth, but you're growing in an unfinished bathroom? I mean, surefire way to never get bugs? I mean whoever had a surefire way never to get bugs would be a trillionaire, and they would be named Monsanto.
     
  9. Not sure why people are so adamant about growing in soil. Soil, if blended correctly, can save me the trouble of adding ferts. And some soils, can insure with correct lighting a full and healthy harvest.
    How much money have you spent on your room? 0$

    I mean give some information, where are the pictures? I was waiting for significant growth before i should it off. But i suppose i can just can snap some quick pics.

    What are the dimensions of the room? The full shower is 6 by 3 not including the tub. 4 by 3 with the tub.
    How big of a plant are you trying to grow? Im low stress training it, so hopefully i can keep it under 2 feet + whatever the pot i grow in.
    You say you want to make it stealth, but you're growing in an unfinished bathroom? Im turning the shower into its own grow box, with ventilation and airflow, but airtight, and light free. And the bathroom is in the back of the house, in a spare bedroom.
    I mean, surefire way to never get bugs? Im not looking for a cure, but there ARE surefire ways to keep bugs from growing, or getting into the grow area, simply by taking the proper precautions.
    I mean whoever had a surefire way never to get bugs would be a trillionaire, and they would be named Monsanto. Many professional growers have proven ways to keep their harvest safe and insect free. Just ask a few.
     
  10. If a plant sits in a pot for 8 weeks sucking up the nutrients, at some point you are going to have to give the plants nutrients, even if you start out with the ideal soil mix. If you are a newbie, you do not know what the ideal soil mix is, heck, most experienced growers don't either. That's why they buy Foxfarm. There are many kinds of bugs and there are many ways they can get in, like on your clothes, if your soil is too wet, through a vent, on an outside clone.
     
  11. I think you should just grow. As issues arise resolve them. I ignored bugs. Has a bug problem. They didn't affect plants.. Just liked the soil so
    I was fine.

    KISS
