so guys i aint posted in a while im new to this soooo cry.gif

anyways i read through all the guerilla growing and i say i might maybe try it next year but this year i didnt have the guts.

now ive been looking into this micro grow and am very interested. I wouldnt say im a heavy smoker i could easily get by on 3 grams per week thats actually heavy for me! and a micro grow would suit me.
the thing that put me off is i was told if i am caught as a council tennant ill be evicted?any advice on what could happen if you are caught with say a 250w with 3x lowryders?.

the thing is with 3x lowryder its still classed as 3 plants to the judge where i could probably get the same yield from say 1 big bud plant or something with heavy yield and a smaller punishment so im really confused as what route to take.ive seen this a few times [url="removed[/url] £99 for the complete aerogarden set but the lights need replaced every 6 months at a cost of £20.

to me cost is everything i cannot afford to buy my weed anymore when i live alone so my budget for that setup would look like

setup = £99
electric = no idea anyone know how much?
seeds = £30 for 10 lowryder #2

+ £20 every 6 months on bulbs and those seeds aint exactly cheap for the yield.

ideally i would like it to be cheaper with cheaper seeds less plants and bigger yeild but still being small, quiet and most of all novice friendly.




i have also thought about starting with just 2 simple pots on a tray and watering by hand 2x Big Bud from nirvana seeds at £19.99 for x10 but under what light?

i want the cheapest safest(scared of house fire) thing to do the job and keep me going with say an ounce per plant? so what would be best for me an enviro or a 250w hps?
id REALLY appreciate anyone who can help/advise me and tell me how much i would be looking at to run the lights.

ps feedback on lowryder in an aerogarden would be helpful also many thanks!

Can't help you with the legal aspects except to say fit a good fan and filter and don't tell anyone.

Forget those horrible autoflowering genetics - they won't help you get the best from an indoor grow. You want plants you can control. Forget the aerogarden too - looks like more of an executive toy - I wouldn't even use one to grow salad.

3 grammes / week, 150 grammes / 5 ounces a year .. many people consistently get 4 to 5 ounces per 250 watt HPS lamp in compost.

Do you have a suitable cupboard you can use or an alcove you could box in ?
2 foot by 15 to 18 inches by preferably room height ?
If you have a bigger space, the bigger lamps are quite a bit more efficient.

If it isn't your place, you're likely to have to filter, then vent indoors rather than make holes in the building. - not my area of expertise.

250 watt HPS - £70 ish inc lamp. (2 or 3 grows per £10 to £20 lamp).
Electricity £50-ish for a grow.

Micro-growing is a whole different ball game and blab is the king :-

You would be growing continuously to achieve your 5 ounces a year.

Personally I like to grow no more than once a year.

I get by in a wardrobe measuring 2Ft x 1Ft x Just short of 5Ft.
I have two of them, one for vegging, one for flowering. But given the OP only needs 3gm per week, he could get by on one drobe of those proportions, easy. If I only needed that much, I'd use the same set up but just grow maybe two two plants at a time, to yield between 60 and 90 Grams per harvest. That'd give you a window of 20 - 30 weeks to get te next crop to harvest. Easy thumbsup.gif
The trick will be to get the fans really well muffled and silenced, and to tell no beggar. Should all go sweet as a nut, really.
Leccie for a 250 watt light and fans is no big deal, don't know exactly but its not too much.
Council flat law I know bugger all about.

No court would back an eviction asked for by the council if it was for a very small percy grow, dealing is another ball game.

Get a fan and filter, light-proofing and a good excuse, that's about all it takes. be prepared to answer questions like "what do you keep in that closet?" or "why is there fan noise coming out of there?" ... I tell people I have a PC server in there, and everyone just accepted that (I even have a fake ethernet cable going in there smile.gif

I was growing in my bedroom for 6 months while my sister and her boyfriend lived in the same apartment, they didn't find out until I told them (they are major smokers btw. I've never seen happier people than when I handed them a fat-ass mother plant and told them we were gonna smoke that in 8 weeks... point is: they didn't have a clue smile.gif

So you are saying a person caught with one or two plants with no evidence of dealing can get away with it if caught? unsure.gif When I say get away with it I mean, warning and/or fine, which is still annoying. wink1.gif

that really depends on where you live, what the judge feels like etc.. they dont call it a postcode lottery for nothing. I dont think you'd get a custodial sentence for 2 plants. just dont keep scales or baggies in the flat, dont tell anyone they exist so theres not the slightest chance that if the terrible happens, you wont have incriminating texts from a mate like 'hey doodz can i buy an ounce of ur fine homegrown lololol'
