Aveburyman Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Hi I am going to give it a go and this will be my first attempt. I have a few problems to overcome so I need your advise. I live in a small terraced house and have a very young child so I'm looking for a really descreate setup. I've seen some people using as little as 2ft x 2ft x 2ft. This is about as much room as I can afford and this would have to be in the dining area. What would I need to do and what seed would be best for a first timer looking for pain relief, unfortunatly, the budget is pretty limited as well. Thanks in advance.

MrBenn Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Right then...in that space I think you're really going to have to go with ScrOG (Screen Of Green). This involves training the plants to form a level(ish) canopy and keeps the hieght of the grow nice and low as that's gonna be yopur main problem. You can build a box quite easily using 2x2 and plywood... You'll probably be looking at a 250W HPS... just a few thoughts to get you started....read as much as you can before you start and you shouldn't have any problems. I'm sure others will give further advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipity Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Have you got an attic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBenn Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Or in fact a cupboard at the top of the stairs where the attic access is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jontz Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Keep your eyes open on ebay (uk).. I've just picked up a 250W HPS for £15 + £12p+p.. Try typing "high pressure sodium" "grow light" "grow lamp" etc.. anything you can think of, into the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aveburyman Posted August 30, 2002 Author Share Posted August 30, 2002 Hi all Thanks for your responses. I have no room at the top of the stairs and the attic is almost imposible to get into thats why I'm limited and I am also slightly nervous about trying this. My dining area is basically my home office so I was going to put it in here, somewhere, plus it is next to the backdoor which I thought might help with the ventalation. It is also blocked off to stop the little one getting in here. My neighbours are quite close so I imagin I need to be careful especially with the odour. I might be able to go higher, any suggestions on seeds, like which are the most succesful for a newbie. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipity Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 Hello A Is the attic impossible to get into because it is full of rafters or is it just the opening? Mine was only 18" x 12" - unbelievable must have been made for a midget! It's not too difficult to increase the opening and if your'e nervous the attic is the best bet for secrecy! Can't help with the seeds except to say I have found that it is easy to **** it all up - so I wouldn't spend too much on them until you have some experience.

MrBenn Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 Seeds - go with a mainly Indica strain, shorter and bushier... As serendipity says...go cheap... have a look at Nirvana's selection and see what you fancy As far aas security goes the best thing is to plan very well and keep yr trap shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
