0 Setup for growing weed

So now you have all the necessary gear to grow some marijuana let's set up the grow space.

Clean the space out completely. Vacuum up all the dust and wipe down the walls and ceiling and get OCD about it. The room must be really hygienic for the plants.

Paint all the walls and floor white. Make it even, this is for reflection of the light around the room giving the effect of the sun. Do not use foil as crinkled foil can concentrate heat onto plants and produce burn spots on them.

Venting setup depending if you are using a room or a cupboard a whole must be cut somewhere for venting the air for circulation and smell.
The most important thing to remember when venting your grow room is to keep it secretive by disguising it and covering the smell with a carbon filter or ionizer depending on the size of your grow.
If you are venting out of a window, keep the window cracked open (not enough to be broken into) close the curtains as you are venting behind the curtains and don't want people to see whats behind the curtains. Board up the window from the inside and cut a vent hole to lead the vent through. This shoul all be as air tight as possible so not to let the smell out.

Lighting should be hung by chains that can be altered in hight as later on this will be the case. Th lights should be suspended about a foot from the seedlings to begin with so start them off low. They should be stated on the time switch 18 hours on 6 hours off a day.

Next bring in you hydroponic tank or your pots of compost. Place the oscilating fan in front of them, this should be set on a time switch to blow at 3 hour intervals for 3 hours, this is to strengthen the plants.

A watering system is up to you if you have a compost grow, work it out yourself, the plants should only be watered every few days when they are small.

Plant the newly germinated seedlings and we are growing weed!

0 How to grow marijuana indoors: Getting started

The first requirement of one wanting to grow cannabis indoors is to find a spot. Meaning a spot that dosn't arouse any attention at all. Attics, basements, spare bedrooms and wardrobes are the most common unless you are on a warehouse level of growing weed.



Secondly as soon as one person knows, the whole world knows and your pretty much screwed.



Right, now that we are serious about growing lets set a set up budget, i will let you do your own research on the prices and space sizes but you will need:



For compost pot grow



1. A 400-600 watt grow lamp depending on the space size.

2. A mixture of 50% compost 50% pearlite and pots for the plants.

3. An oscillating fan.

4. A 24 hour timer with a contactor (high power switch).

5. A pH tester.

6. Nutrients for cultivation of cannabis.

7. White paint for reflective walls in the grow space.

8. Ventilation system depending on the size of your grow.

9. An air ionizer to cover the smell or a carbon filter (they stink of weed surprisingly)



For hydroponics grow



1. A 400-600 watt grow lamp depending on the space size.

2. NFT tank with pump and spreader matt.

3. Rockwool cubes

4. An oscillating fan.

5. A 24 hour timer with a contactor (high power switch).

6. A pH tester.

7. Nutrients for cultivation of cannabis.

8. White paint for reflective walls in the grow space.

9. Ventilation system depending on the size of your grow.

10. An air ionizer to cover the smell or a carbon filter (they stink of weed surprisingly)



When buying the gear, do not buy it all from one place as it may look suspicious and do not use a credit card as your personal information can lead back to your address.



Finally seeds. Unless you have been collecting them out of your dealers baggies then go ahead and invest in some nice femenized seeds i suggest Amsterdammarijuanaseeds as they are the leaders in the marijuana seed game, ship internationally and give you free seeds!

It's a tricky business if you have collected seeds as you will have to separate the males from the females as early as possible which is a pain because the males could ruin your whole grow which i will delve into later.



Once you have the seeds it's time to germinate them. Try not to touch them with bare hands as this may taint them. To germinate the seeds all you need to do is place them in a damp tissue or some cotton wool and leave them in a dark warm place (near a radiator) for a couple of days until they are sprouting, now it's time to plant your weed seeds.
