Doing a grow op in closet

I have never grown weed before so far I have 2 germinated seeds in soil I have blankets nailed up for insulation and I have a space heater and good fluorescent lights up. The soil I have is very good it came from my garden and last summer the garden produced massive sunflowers and squash and shit ton of other veggies. What are my chances of success? I have other members of the house who can't know they are there lol. How bad are they gonna reek when they start budding? Any other tips or tricks I should know? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Peace.

never messed with indoor but if I were you I'd get one of those tents, a good blower and carbon filter for it, and either get a huge bag of perlite and add it to your soil or get some soil made for growing weed(none of that miracle grow crap or stuff with fertilizer in it)... you want something that will drain good. Also, I had way better results with those 3 gallon plastic pots from home depot than I did with 5 gallon buckets for some reason.

You say good lights...can you be more specific? What kind of lights are they? The quality of your lights is paramount. Air flow is also extremely important and maintaining the proper temp and humidity is also key.
If it's not too late, you should just go buy soil at home depot. Or if you must use your soil, you should put it in the oven to sterilize it.
And they will smell pretty awful so there's no chance of your roommates not knowing, unless you buy a carbon filter/fan setup. The smell won't really kick in for several weeks though so you have some time before having to worry about that.

Im trying to do this really as an experiment like im not trying to get dank high quality bud im currently unemployed but looking for work and just hoping to get some buds to toke on. All i have for lights is a fluorescent light in the closet and another bright light hanging directly over the pots of soil. Like im doing this for as cheap as possible and really not expecting much of anything from it im just trying to fill some of my time. Is it possible to just cut the plants and dry them before they are fully matured cause Im in no position to get a grow tent and carbon filters or anything Im just scraping by as it is.

I have noticed the stink is plant dependent somewhat. For example some sativa commonly grown around here is PUNGENT as hell, when flowering you can smell if from pretty damn far away. Even a well sealed indoor room will smell outside often times towards the end. Right now I have one little hybrid outside though that barely smells at all unless I rub it n smell my fingers.
When I smell the plant it just smells planty, with a slight cannabis smell. But when I rub my fingers on it and smell them its orgasmic.
Maybe when it is closer to being done it will be putting off more scent and it could partly be becouse its small but it seems to just have a more contained scent.

You are not going to hide it from the house members. It's going to stink, it's going to make noise, it's going to be found.
Sounds like you are building the recipe for a house fire.
Do lot's of reading if you are seriously interested in cultivating. Micro grows can be done as small as a pc case. Small grows are a pain! Cannabis requires a lot of equipment even for the smallest grow. They need good light and smell filtering is always a must. Keeping things quite is the hard part. Plus you are going to acquire all sorts of tell tale signs like nutrients, soil and other items of the trade.

Mission Abort.
And as a side note for the next time you grow and do it properly with the correct equipment and at least SOME knowledge about the craft, cutting the flowering short is fucking retarded. No offense.

I really don't see any harm in trying to grow though. Like psychonaut said his plants dont even really smell if thats the case for mine then im set I mean they can smell they just cant reek up the entire house cause that just wouldn't be fair some people think weed smells disgusting. I love the smell personally but whatever lol. Like Its just a little experiment im honestly not expecting to get any bud rn but if I do fuck yea ill take it.

Yeah I would have to agree...
The amount of time/ money it will take just to end up getting found out most likely at worst and at best a tiny mediocre harvest is not too worth it.

The only reason any grower should ever do this is mold... Or maybe if you know you are getting raided/ searched and are not growing legally...
I have known legal growers who's landlords did not know they grew, when they had random walk throughs they would have to take down their grow/ veg rooms and drive all the plants and equipment to a friends house until it was safe to bring them back. So even if situations like that people find ways to avoid cutting them down early...

Being centered with the right funds and good planning it can be lot's of fun to grow and smoke. I have blown thousands of dollars on seeds and gear. Could spend thousands more on a SMALL grow. Flouros are really only good for small veg plants, cuttings, mother plants and the like. They produce weak buds that are really not that great. Some people do ok with weak lights in extremely small spaces. Yet even small flowers can be stinky. Most bud is breed to be loud smelling and very few are bred for low odor. If you are not in a legal state it takes very little material to be a felony. Only 200 grams is a felony in my state and they weigh it all wet. Gear used is another six months for criminal tools. Can be a pair of scissors and that is a tool, or the light no matter how weak of a grow. The conservative facscists take mind altering drugs very seriously.

It really doesn't take thousands unless you are going for a professional set up which can easily be 10-20k. People can grow great stuff on a budget though.
It just takes space and effort which would be considerably harder when trying to keep it low key.

If you have another place for them why not just start them there?

I could spend $3521 on a 425 watt black dog led, 144 watt CFL, fans, filters, gorrilla tents and other small items. Gets pricey damn fast and expenses add up quickly.
Even the cheapest gear will work but equipment failure is not a nice idea mid grow. Rather spend on quality that works for a long time.
The basics are an environment like a tent, fan filter and high output light. Noise and power bill becomes a concern.
If you really wann be covert grow outside and dry outside. It's cheap and can produce amazingly well.
I live in a so called decriminalized state also. Not so decriminalized after all, you just no longer get life for small shit.

It is possible, but you might as well not grow at all because that would be a complete waste of fucking time.

Reminds me of a 'grow op' a friend did with his lady. Consisted of a seedling under a store bought light bulb and a co2 cartridge in the soil. Then placed outside in a shady as hell forest. Destined to FAIL.
