Cheapest/best way to grow weed in a closet?
    #22368472 - 10/12/15 02:25 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I have permission to grow it as long as it stays concealed and doesn't smell up the house really bad. I can't drive up the electric bill with this so I'd assume I'd use an LED light. Any tips and advice is appreciated, I know very little about growing.

I imagine at lot of people are going to tell you an operation that can fit in a closet is not worth the time nor money but that's not my area of expertise admittedly.

Let's assume I have a little more room then. I'm open to the idea of building a grow box.

- Fem seeds will save you time sexing (nothing worse then spending all the time, and "she" turns to a "he" )

-Led's are good if you spend the money on a GOOD quality one.  DONT buy a cheap ebay one!!

-A indica dom strain will harvest quicker and should stay shorter then a sativa dom.  More beginner friendly....

-Feel free to add cfl's bulbs to help the LED's (cheap, and walmart sells huge ones for $15 a bulb)

-Use a good soil if you can afford it (go to a grow store).

-Its a super addictive hobby,  be prepared to buy nutes, ph meters, and more... 

-Join us on the growery for logs and lots of good growers (in PO on there too... its my main home). feel free to pm me anytime wit questions

I would argue that there is not "best" and "cheap" way.  However when it comes down to it a 400w light will cost you about 35 bucks a month at 16-8 assuming .16 per kwh.  This can change based on tiering and other shenanigans put in place by the power company.

Mostly you need a light, a fan, some media (soil), and water.  If lack of smell is of concern, then some sort of carbon scrubber is probably in order.  My first grow stunk up the whole house, and it was pretty big (the house not the grow).  You could smell it outside the front door.

You should, as other people eluded to, probably search thru smaller grow journals for a bit.  It will give you a better idea of what you are getting yourself into.

The best thing you can do as a new grower is read read read, then ask questions about what you are reading.

The size of said closet would be so helpful.
But E ballast 400 watt, mg bulb, and hps bulb, air cooled hood or tube.  Personally I prefer the hood.
4 inch inline fan, and carbon filter.
Panda film or poly black white plastic for the walls.
And since you said cheap and easy, hempy is your friend.
Perlite and buckets with a hole 2 inches off the bottom, and as for nutes flora series micro and bloom, follow the lucas formula for great beginner results.
All of this can be had for around 500 bucks.
And can produce 0.5 to 1 lb, which is worth far more as you know if you buy weed.:smile:

Almost forgot to add in the timers tho with one room you only need one.

No.
They claim to but the grows done say other wise.
Advancedled, and califoria lightworks have proven results at 200 and 300 watts,  where the ebay cheapos just don't measure up.  The advancedled 650 seems to be killing it for those with the cash to go there.
It's as much about the light spectrum, as it is the angles of the lights as well, and the foot prit produced factors in too.

Yes, they do output practically the same wavelengths. You will never find a current gen LED that can output an exact wavelength. It's just not possible given the nature of electricity. Wattage isn't the best to compare plant growth to either. And angle, doesn't make much sense, unless you're talking about getting to leaves underneath the canopy leaves of a plant.
For absolute best growth, I would imagine you would need to enclose a plant(any plant, not referring to cannabis in general) in a rectangle, paint all 6 walls white and place the LED a certain distance from the plant. The white paint would reflect most of the light and reach leaves that would be blocking any light from the canopy.
What do you mean by foot print? The cost of electricity to run the lights is the only thing I can imagine you referring to by this, and generally the more wattage, the more electricity it will cost. Also heat, I guess.
The more wattage an array uses, just means it has more LEDs which would benefit only in more coverage of the plant. Also the more LEDs on an array the more likely of a few issues. One being that the LEDs are pulling too much current than their power supply can give them, making the LEDs not as bright as they could be. Or two, the LEDs are higher wattage, which means they would use less LEDs in the array which would give you less light coverage.

Oh, before anyone buys any LED growlights. Don't buy one that uses white LEDs, especially if it's marketed as full spectrum. LEDs can't be white, they simply usually use the 3 narrow bands of green, red and blue. Reds and blues are usually what plants respond to the best.

OK, I'm no newb.
Spectrum matters, led, cfl/t5, t8, or HID.  It truly shows in the veg or flower stages of growth.  This is why you hear us tell folks 6500 to 10000k for veg which is blue to almost purple like.  Flowering we going to tell ya to run around or as close to 2100k, which is yellow like or redish.  My eyes are shit so.:smile:

Footprint is the effective coverage area of the led.  For example a led with a footprint of 2 square feet would suck in a room 6 square feet.

And yes angle is related to penetration.  Wall reflection is great, but doesn't go all that far, honestly.

How are you going to go about trimming? Trimming is by far the smelliest part of the process.

Also look up smell masking stuff, I like the Ona Gel selection and my friends and I use the fresh linen scent.

Okay so forget the closet, I'm just going to try to make a stealth grow box. This is the box I plan to use



I'm going to take out the TV (it never worked lol). The dimensions of the box are 35in length x 18in width x 41in height and I'm talking about the inside space that I have to work with, not the whole box. The goal is to have 2 plants.

How much harder is it to grow a 100% sativa strain like Durban Poison? I'm cool with growing an Indica dominant strain but I've always preferred Sativa.

As far as trimming goes, if I make it that far I'll be happy to stink up the house for one final time haha. I do need to learn how to trim though, I have no knowledge about how to.

So it's almost winter...so with that being said, I think I'll start out with CFL lights for the vegetative stage but I might bump up to an HPS light for the flowering stage since I'll want the heat anyways.

So I'll need a timer for the lights (does a timer come with an outlet on it that I just plug the lights into and it just cuts the electricity off after a certain amount of time? I'm just wondering how I connect the timer to the lights), I'll need 2 fans, 1 blowing on the plants and one blowing into a duct that goes outside (should I get better fans than a fan for a PC? how would I get electricity to the fans if they are from a PC?), and of course I'll need other things too (white paint for the walls, chain for the lights, etc.) but those are the main expensive things right?
If I do use a PC fan should I put one on both sides of the box for both plants and just have a stronger fan blowing it through the air duct?
How much is a carbon filter and what kind should I use?

Thank you all for the replies, you're helping me out a lot and it's much appreciated.

Yes the timer plugs into the power source, and the light plugs into it.  And yes the timer is to turn on and off the light at the correct times.

To grow a sativa in a space that small wouldn't be so hard, but you want to go straight to flower after the seed pops.  They reaally like to get tall fsat in flowering.

Wouldn't waste time on pc fans, an inline 4 inch fan will move all the air you need as an exhaust fan.  As far as the intake air that will happen passively.  A small osculating fan inside to help with plant development, strengthening stems and what not.

Due to the size of the box, I'd go with an o zone generator instead of a carbon filter.  Just because of the size of most carbon filters.  But to answer the question, a four inch inline fan and filter combo runs about 85 to 125 bucks on ebay.  O zone generator is pretty close to the same price range.  Remember o zone isn't really safe for us, so if you use a generator be sure to exhaust outside of your home.

Oh and trimming is simple, just remove the leaves and hang,  To beat the smell just leave the grow box open and let your filter or generator to their job.  Here's a great link to how to dry and cure your finished product.  http://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/704754#704754

Thanks for the reply man. So I would do 16/8 while the seed is sprouting and as soon as it pokes it's head out of the soil I immediately go to 12/12? Or did I misunderstand that?

12/12 at first signs of life would be easiest way to control.  And is the general rule of thumb for beginners.  Allows you to focus on learning the other factors involved.  Watering, feeding, when to, and how often and what not. 

If you feel frogy tho.  You can double or even triple your yields with some understanding of training methods.  LST is best for beginners.  Here's some good reading on the subject.  http://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/239247#239247

If you were to plan on training the plants.  I'd recommend about two to three weeks of veg time, before going to 12/12.

    #22373770 - 10/13/15 02:39 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I decided to go a different route after I found a strain that I became interested in called Bubblelicious which is Indica dominant instead of Sativa. It's a short strain so it should be able to fit my box easily. I don't mind doing the 16/8 and then the 12/12 though because I have a lot of free time so I can pay a lot of attention to my plants. Do you think I might be able to fit 3 plants inside that box?

Here's more info on the Bubblelicious strain if you're interested http://www.growmedical420.com/medical-marijuana-strain-of-the-day-bubblelicious/

The seeds I'm getting are feminized, I don't really have time/space to sort through male/female plants.

How would you power an exhaust fan by the way? I don't think they have a plug-in on them so maybe I could cut the end of an extention cord and splice the wires together?

And about the lights...I can use the same CFL bulbs for the sprouting stage AND the vegetative stage right? Would I only need 1 HPS light for the flowering stage? And where would I get a HPS light? Is there a recommended one online or should I just go to my local hardware store and buy one there?
Is there something I need to pay attention to with the lights like should I get a 300 watt or something like that? Basically, what should I look for when buying lights.

Sorry for the shitstorm of questions and thanks again :hatsoff:

I'm familiar with that strain.  Good choice, imo.:thumbup::thumbup:

Most 4 inch inline fans are 110/120 and are wired to plug into standard wall sockets. 

Ebay  is your friend when it comes o lights and supplies.  In that space a 250 hps would do awesome, and not to be to hard to manage heat.  This kit is priced nicely and kills many birds with one stone.:smile:

Dude I can't thank you enough. So I just to be clear, I'll need 1 inline fan blowing on the plants and 1 inline fan blowing out of the box (into an air duct and out of the house), some CFL blue spectrum bulbs for the beginning stages, that HPS light along with the timer that you sent a link to, paint the walls white or get white plastic, and a carbon filter (I can't afford an ozone generator). That's about it right? besides the plants and soil of course.
This inline fan/carbon filter should work well right? http://www.amazon.com/iPower-GLFANXINL4FILT4MD8C-4-Inch-Inline-Ducting/dp/B00D7M6692/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1444772543&sr=8-13&keywords=carbon+filter

You mentioned something about "hempy"? I'm not exactly sure what that is.
As far as the soil goes, I'm planning on keeping everything 100% organic so as long as I get some good soil from my local greenhouse that sells organic soil and mix in some organic compost to get the ideal PH level for cannabis plants (whatever the ideal PH level is) and as long as I keep the PH level for the water I give them between 6 and 7 then I should be good to grow some pretty nice beginner plants right?
I'm going to be in a basement that's pretty cold so I should be pretty good for the most part as far as heat goes but do you have any affordable suggestions for temperature control if it gets too cold? Maybe I could build a box out of plywood around my grow box and put an electric heater in there that turns off when it reaches a certain temperature?

Should I worry about air contaminants blowing inside of the box as well? Would I need another carbon filter for this to prevent mold and other crap or do you think that's unnecessary?

Presto 23-Quart Pressure Cooker
BOD's Simple as FUCK Still Air Box
PastyWhyte's Easy Agar Tek
Munchauzen's Cultivation Video Series
How EvilMushroom666 Prepares His Grains (I use jars with Synthetic Filter Discs)
What is G2G? (Grain-to-Grain)
Damion5050's Coir Tek (I use 5.5 - 6 quarts of water instead of 4. Also ignore step 13 and ignore the monotub completely. The only purpose of this tek is to show you how to make a simple substrate. I also add gypsum to it but not necessary)
Spitball's Monotub Tek (A liner isn't necessary but is useful)
Use 6500k lights throughout the whole process. When you wake up, turn the light on. When you go to sleep turn the light off. It's as simple as that.

Probably not. If you are worried about it you can get a sheet of carbon filter and place it over the fan.

No.
You want one osculating fan blowing on the plants.
And the inline fan is for exhaust only.  And yes that fan will do the trick.:yesnod:

Hempy is a soilless set up.  One could say it's a beginner friendly hydro method of sorts.  If soil is your choice of medium then don't worry about this.

Be sure to add some perlite to your soil mix, to insure good drainage.

As far as temps go.  As long as it doesn't get below 50f for longer than a hour during the lights off period.  I myself wouldn't worry about it.  If it does then yeah a small heater would be wise.

ooooooh just a regular little fan that turns eh? Osculating makes it sound so much more complex and expensive lol I'm so glad it's something I already have at my house. This seems to be a lot cheaper and easier to start up now that you helped guide me in the right direction. Much appreciated man :hug:
I gotta get some cash up first before I start ordering everything I need but I'll make an update when I've got everything up and running. Wish me luck!
And I know I've thanked you like 1000 times now but seriously, thank you. You've made this so much easier and understandable for me.
And thank you also to the other people that replied and gave me useful advice/tips as well :hatsoff:
