I want to grow my own marijuana for personal use, but where do I even begin?

Question

The tricky part is that I live on campus at a D-1 university. How can I be discreet about it yet get a plant that will have a moderate yield and still be potent?

Answer 1

i hope you have a single room, or if not it' s a project your roomie is a part of.

i grew once in my dorm room during college. you will need the following:
*a grow lamp minimum 400 watt metal halide or hps.
*a fan for ventilation
*pots-remember a plant can only get as big as the roots allow
*potting soil
*fertilizer-something for tomatos will be fine, unless you really want to get fancy
*electric timer (like for lights when you are on vacation)
*thermometer
*seeds-the plant's potentcy is genetically determined, so get the best quality seeds you can

you'd really better get a book or look online for the method, as it's far too much for me to type here. i'll give you the basics.

germinate the seeds directly in soil you've added to a dixie cup. many sources will tell you other methods, but this way will put the least stress on your baby plants, and thus raise the chances for female plants. put the seeds a little under the soil, add water, and cover with plastic wrap. keep in a warm dark place. when you see something sprouting, uncover the top and bring to sunlight.

next, when the plants have grown a few inches gently transplant the seedlings to the larger pots and give light from the grow lamp 16 hrs/day. early on, make sure the lamp isn't too close to the plants as they are young and fragile. you don't want to burn them with this powerful lamp. also, always make sure the plants are well ventilated by the fan. keep the tempurature in the growroom at around 65 degrees.

when they've grown a bit, bring the lamp a little closer and continue the 16hr/day lights. add fertilizer once a week or 10 days. continue this way for 4-6 weeks. of course water the plants when the soil gets dry to the touch. stick your finger in the dirt an inch or two down to determine when they need water. you'll get a feel for it after a week or so.

after, you're ready for flowering. reduce light to 12 hours light 12 hours darkness. complete darkness is essential.

ok, my fingers are tired and i need to drink my coffee. do some research and you'll be all good. an important part of growing is telling NOBODY until harvest day. be smart, you don't wanna get ripped off or busted. good luck

There shouldn't be any reason for any smell until it reaches a close-to-maturing stage. When it's ready to begin re-productive stage. Where do you live, anyway? I'm only asking because January is so not the right time to be planting ANYTHING outdoors, especially where cannibas is concerned in any of the temperate zones where it does well. You have only one plant? Where I live it's perfectly legal to grow up to 3 plants for personal use. No questions either. Helicopters don't bother with anything less. Do you have any idea how much fuel even a 206 uses? It's over $1200 / hour now. Like you're gonna get busted for a wee little plant that might net you $200 in bud, if you're lucky. They likely laugh at folk like you and carry on doing what pays the fuel bill. Helicopters aren't usually deployed for pot-growing purposes this time of year unless it's for major grow-ops that can net them at least a $100,000 in seizures. They are however used all year round for hydro-line checks -- lines in potential jeopardy. They have to fly low for those, too. Paranoia. That's all it is. Have a nice hot cup of tea and forget about it. But the whole smell thing makes me thing you got a major soil and drainage problem going on. Whatever. Tea and a good night's sleep.
