Testing
- Thread starter bcgoodness
- Start date
The guy wasnt begging, it was a sincere hello, and request for the chance to maybe grow something out, like he says just turned 18 and starting outm asking for a a chance to grow some seeds in return for documenting the grow, ummm, isnt that what a test grow is???
BCgoodness, dont worry about how many r in that package m8, u gonna be buzzin, BOG is renowned for his generous spirit, you will be very happy indeed, anything u need to know, if i can help u out i will. As far as lighting goes, the fluros will be fie for starting them off, but i would suggest a small sodium lampto grow and flower them, if you shop around you can get some great deals, Low-bay security lights are good as a first HID, and very easy to use as they are, or if competent with wiring, u can remove the balast and put it in a seperate enclosure.I would get an idea of what size light you will be getting, and then germ the right amount of seeds for that light.

Good luck with the BOGBubble, I've seen and heard very good things about it. You are lucky 
. Hope everything works out for you and your grow. Fluorescents are great for a first grow, they'll get you right on track. Don't want anything too expensive for a first grow. My advice would be to go with 4' shoplights and 40w bulbs. Stand them up against a wall and you will be able to get great results. Veg about a month and you should yield quite a bit per plant. Need anymore info just PM me . Good luck with everything. Keep it green.
Take care!

goto home depot or lowes for the 4 foot shoplights, there really cheap, like 15 bucks. I would reccomend, as said before, purchasing atleast a 250 watt HPS to flower them under. I use one and it works great. You should be very grateful to have such great genetics to start off your growing life with. Growing is the best hobby that anyone can ever take up, and its just begun for you. Your already wayyy ahead if the game by having some good genetics to grow. Most firstimers ( including when i was one) started out with good bagseeds, and generally had good results if you have the skills. Once you move onto good known genetics, and a few grows under your belt, the quality of your smoke skyrockets. I was blessed a few years back myself by BOG with some LSD#1 tester beans, and I just recently harvested my last few seeds from the pack I had and I gotta say, bog does a great job. I look forward to seeing a BOGbubble growthread... invest in a cheap digicam too so you can give us some pics

a really long time, ive had seeds that are 5+ years old that germ no problem. What kind of space are you going to use to grow in. I assume you live with your parents, so are they cool with your growing?
That is very important BC, although i acrually thought u were i ur ow place, but if u r in ur folks home, u need to have their ok, i mean i wouldnt want to get them in trouble now would u.

I myself personally live at home with my parents as well, because I am only a senior in college, but its very accepted in this house, since both of my parents smoke pot. My dad actually helped me build the grow room because he enjoys smoking the dank nugs I grow as much as I do! Mom enjoys them as well! What I would reccomend is finding a spot in your house that your parents NEVER go in ( attic, basement, garage, your room etc.) and build a moderate sized grow box. You could also goto home depot and buy a c13 cabnet for your bedroom if your parents arent that nosey

Without wanting to sound negative my friend, you say that ur folks "arent ok with it, but dont care care that im going to do it" what does that mean exactly, you discussed it? and they said what? You wont be able to hide it in thier home, and come on, who pays the electricity, thyre gonna notice a rise.
If you do have their blessing to grow a little for yourself to smoke, nothing major, then id suggest a cabinet, you can get old wardrobes and dressers at charity shops, and the dump even, thtas going to be your best best i would say, or do you have an existing "walk in" closet i your bedroom?? uthat would be ideal. Although I am loathe to direct any1 to overgrow, the fact is, threy have some great faq's, and the stealth cab design by newganjaboy should be of particular interest to you, in would evenb go so far as to say that his desing, of your own version of it, would be perfect for your situation. it would easily accopmodate an average smokers needs.

When i said "arent ok with it, but dont care care that im going to do it" I mean that they dont care that im going to do it as long as they dont see it and its a small grow. I will definately check out the overgrow thing, and no i do not have a walk-in closet, my closet is gonna be tiny and im gonna have to put my clothes somewhere...THanks Again

BCgoodness, the one I was refering to was the 2nd link posted by Gantz, I think something like that could easiliy accomodate your needs. Im actually in the middle of something similar, building it for a familymember.Using a showerfan to cool it.
I get what u mean about ur folks now, theyre ok with it as long as ur not aiming to become the Cisco Pike of ur neighbourhood, lol.
