One MJ plant

Thinking I will grow one MJ plant to smoke for free. I heard 100-125g is pretty easy to get from one plant. Anyway, my closet is 4 sq feet and 8 feet tall. Is one 175w MH good enough to grow potent bud from this one plant? Was thinking of an indica, as I like the coma feeling. Any advice?

Yes you can!
That's the stupidest thing to say.
Actually, people say that you can usually get 1g/w. That is, if you are good at it. It's doable if you read lots and be real careful. I'm sure you're capable.
Try www.CannabisCulture.com. In the forums they have lots of cultivation info.

Thank you :
Does 1g/w mean 1gram per watt? So if I am using a 175W Metal halide I can expect at least 100grams.
I am thinking about spending more money to buy feminized seeds to be assured they are female.

you are going to need at least a 4oo watt light

Why would I need a 400 watt metal halide for a 2x2 (4 sq f) closet, for one plant?
175 watts / 4 square feet = 43 watts of MH light per sq foot.
I have heard you should aim for 30-35 for good bud?
400 seems too much for one plant. The most I'd use is a 200 or 250W mh.

because you are talking about growing the fucking plant BIG to get a lot of bud off of it,once it gets tall you 175 Watts wont penetrate shit, if you were growing a few smaller plants it would work better.
either way you think you know it all so good luck

So tie it. You don't need to make it tall.
Grow it into a canopy. Short and fat.

Point well taken, that makes sense. I had no intention of growing it BIG though...No more than 3 and a half feet (not because there is no vertical room to grow bigger but because as you pointed out not enough light penetration).
To max the use of a 175 watt MH, I could line the sides of the closet with mylar right?

lol but you want 4-5 oz off of a small plant?

How tall would she need to be before 100g's was pretty reachable?
I *may* need to get a stronger light then, I want to smoke for free and I'm sick of paying for shitty weed anyway.

To the idiot who said you can't grow indica inside omfg indicas are bred to be grown indoors because of their short stature.

For a closet I would grow scrog with florescent lights.

dude.. a lot of these people don't know what the fuck they're talking about. a few of them do, but the majority are talking out their asses.
go to an actual mj cult forum. you will get much better, more complete answers there.
like everyone has said, of course you can grow indicas indoors. and the retard who said you can't really needs to read/learn more, and stop spreading misinformation.
1g/w is NOT what a grower usually gets. it is the pinnacle of efficiency that growers strive for. why are you using metal halide instead of HPS? i've always read that HPS are more suited for flowering if it's going to be your only source of light. you could add a 150w HPS in there with the MH to fill out the spectrum more, and simply give your baby more light.
as was already suggested, with a lower power light like you plan to use, it'd probably be worth your while to lst and/or scrog to increase canopy size and maximize light efficiency. if i were you, i'd actually do two plants in 1 x 2 ft rectangular pots with individual scrog screens. that gives you the opportunity to have a decent supply of 2 different kinds of smoke, and you can time it so that you have a harvest every 6 weeks, instead of one every 12 weeks.

do something called "low stress training"
it's prefered over SCROG/topping/other methods to keep plants short.

nope. for a short grow its the most efficient, highest yielding with best quality.

No, you want 50w per square foot minimum. A 400 in that space would provide lovely dense nugs, a 175 will give you a lot of fluffy popcorn.
