Stealth First Grow

Doctor Dread · 09-14-2008, 02:22 PM

This will be my first indoor grow. I have been on the site for a while now and seen some set-ups that make me think I might be able to do this as well. I have a general fascination with growing and bud in general being a long time smoker, so I hope this goes well. My set up is quite small. Due to the limited amount of space I will be starting with a 12/12 schedule and will also give LST a try. I am not really looking to get a high yield out of this grow, but more to learn and experiment with how the plants adapt to the limited amount of space. I have spotted some grow box setups around the web that use a computer case with a light inside. This is what I am aiming for. Ill post pictures of my grow setup when the fabrication is all said and done. Wish me luck.

If I was in a dorm, there would be no way in hell I could start growing. Luckily I'm in an apartment. Security is pretty lax, because my landlord will give me 48 hours notice before entering the apartment. Thanks for the concern tho, good to know people are looking out for me.

good luck man.

lets see some pictures.

Doctor Dread · 09-14-2008, 05:21 PM

First time posting pics to a thread, hope it works...

Doctor Dread · 09-14-2008, 05:53 PM

Should I be using any plant food during this first few weeks? I picked up some all purpose plant food with a 20-30-20 ratio. Let me know what you all think...

StonerGrower · 09-14-2008, 05:55 PM

What soil will you be using? The nutes you have arent good for veg. And it has high amounts of Nitrogen so I wouldnt use it for flowering either...

Dont feed for the first 2 weeks.

If your using miracle grow soil dont use any nutes at all dring veg.

Doctor Dread · 09-14-2008, 06:13 PM

Alright then, thats the info I was looking for. Ill toss this food and maybe get some with lower nitrogen levels. Soil is a mix my bud gave me. I cant remember everything thats in it or the ratios but i know it has peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, worm castings, among other things.

StonerGrower · 09-14-2008, 06:15 PM

You need a nute with good amounts of Nitrogen during veg. And a nute with good amounts of Phosphurous and Potassium during flowering.

thanks for the help redeye im still learnin how this site works

Boss · 09-14-2008, 08:45 PM

There will be no veg under 12/12, so you can use what you have, just don't feed them for a week or two and be very careful with watering and nute dose. Too much water and they will stretch.

I would dilute the nutes to 1/4 str and use it at 2 weeks, maybe a week 1/2.

I think you will have a problem keeping even one plant in that small space, but we will see!

Doctor Dread · 09-14-2008, 09:06 PM

Boss, your right about the space. My original idea was to move the light to the left once they reach a foot or so but I'm pretty sure I'll have to abandon the box when they get too large. Maybe I can keep improving on it and make it my permanent veg/cloning box if i decide to take some cuttings. The main problem I'm having right now is HEAT. I need to devise some sort of exhaust system thats more extensive than a small computer fan... I'm open to suggestions.

DoItToIt · 09-14-2008, 09:18 PM

I would think that fan would be pleanty enough to keep the heat down. Do you have an intake on the opposite side of the box that allows for air flow instead of the fan just trying to form a vaccum inside the box?

Doctor Dread · 09-14-2008, 09:21 PM

Hey guys I forgot to tell you all what seeds I'm using. They are bagseed, but I am lucky enough to know the person who grew the herb. The particular strain is not known, but it is very skunky and has a very pungent smoke. here are some pics of a nug that the seeds came from.

Very potent herb, soaring high that lasts for hours. massive crystal count.

enjoy... I know I sure did
