I just had my birthday in december and decided i was finally going to grow. It is however a stealth grow because i go to school near home so i still live here. currently i have a set of 30 seedlings groing in the old space where my computer used to be, i have to conceal any light leaking out, (which i did) but that poses the problem of air circulation and heat.

currently i have some insane stretching going on. (thats what it looks like from pictures i have seen.

(will post pictures soon)

Also, i have a 4x2 space that i will move as many plants into that i can ( i will choose the best plants as suggested by you) in to the 8ft sq space. it is also just over 2 feet tall, i don't know if that will cause many problems but it's what i have to work with. I am thinking one mother where i had my seedlings, and two plants every two weeks. for a total of 8 plants at one time +mother in soil.

My parents are leaving for Paris in a week or so, so i will be able to bring any materials into the house without any suspicion. I was thinkning one or two sets of Paired fluorescent tubes i can get from a wrecked NRB Portable building. I may use a string of lights, or the HPS lights i have heard so much about.

i will also post the picture of the crawl space.
EDIT: when i move to the new space i will be able to move air, i have my clothing drawers in font of the space so i can cut a hole through the back of the cupboards and put some speaker cloth over it to dim light and leave the other door open.
(reserved for picture(s))

I forgot to add, I want repeat grow them until spring when i can grow outdoors. how long can i make a plant stay inside without budding/smell

I'm sorry to say, but dont grow in your parents house man, have some respect for them. You want to do what you want?...move out and then start growing.

Agreed.
You are risking you parents loosing their house over you 1-2 plants.

we will not lose our house and i am moving out come summer. I would though like help, i pay rent to them and the basement of the home is mine, locked. so they are unaware as t owhat is going on down here, they come into the large room somtimes to play fooseball, never in my room.

im in the same predicament man, same exact thing.

but no one seems t owant to help, i pay bills, its just conveniaent to live here, plus i need mroe money for when i have to pay rent up in peterborough. (moving up there for uni)

The whole point of the matter is that, it is not YOUR house. Think of the heartache you will cause your parents. Respect is the bottom line, and alot of us here have it...we would NEVER grow in a situation that will cause more then just us grief.

BUT...if you must, stretching is caused from a few things, here are the most common things.

1. Not enough light
2. Not the right kind of lights
3. Lights are too far away
4. Feeding it the wrong nutes

homegrown, thank you, and i know where you come from, i had the option of moving into apparptments closer tro where igo to school, they begged me to stay.

but anyways, i have two of the non dimmer, twisty style bulbs, (remind me of mini fluorescents which i think they are) and i have 27plants alot of them are 4"+ at only one week, and only a few plants have more then the first pair of leaves (ignoring the sprouting leaves (round ones)) i don't know if it is the strain i have or if it's my own fault, as for nutes, a very diluted jobes plant formula (no name)

label reads,
0.005-0.010-0.0025
guaranteed minimum analysis
Nitrogen............0.005%
0.005% Ammoniacal Nitrogen
Available Phosphate....0.010%
soluble Potash.....0.005%
Derived from Ammonium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Ammonium Sulfate

i have about 64 ml of this stuff mixed with about 6 liters of water that i let stand for 72 hours (have a fish tank bubbler in there to keep it from going stale)

Some pictures would be really helpful, man. Since you're growing them inside a small space, then I doubt the plants are stretching out to find light... Post some pictures soon so we can actually help.
