Hey!
This summer will be the first time i attempt to grow. Ive done some preliminary research and have decided on some things given my situation.

I live with people who all smoke and would be into growing so no worries there, but i do have to think of visitors and family. As well as cost and space. So ive decided to go with the stealth double rubbermaid containers stashed in camo in the closet.

My plant of choice is the NL/Big Bud Cross offered on nirvana, it seems to be just right for me. Has anyone grown this strain? Tips, amount produced, etc would be invaluable.

Im going to use two fans at first, one at ground level of the plants to bring in new air, and another at the top to remove hot air from the light. As for the light, i havent really decided. If someone could suggest one that would work well for all stages that would be great. Another idea is a lamp at the top and one kinda wedged down getting to the lower portion of the plant.

Im hoping to fit three but at least two plants in this setup, will the height be a problem? Will the plants have enough room to grow?

Im not really sure how to keep the plants, i guess soil would be the easiest, anyone have any tips on watering? I was thinking a bucket on a shelf hidden with a tube running down into each plant dripping water. But what about drainage at the bottom of the container? Should i make some kind of opening to drain it as necessary?

What about coating the inside of the containers? I dont want to use aluiminum, im sure itll crease and cause burn spots. Would a reflective white spray paint suffice?

Well i think im out of questions... for now, Im sure this wont be the last of them lol.

Thanks!
 
those rubbermaid tubs are pretty short even when you stack two of them. Some people use a large Hutch or dresser to make their grow area out of. Myself, I would try and find a nice big 6 foot hutch with two doors in front, if i was going with a hidden grow. But then again. I need a lot of room to grow, while others can grow inside a computer tower.
 
Yea i was looking at though, but i could see some hutch with a pad lock on it raising questions lol.

Oh off topic a bit but whats a dealers normal markup? Is there is some standard? Like if i buy an 8th for 45-70, how much would the dealer have paid for it in bulk?
 
Are you talking buying and selling of weed? I have no idea. I grow because I did not want to be a buyer. But I also do not want to be a seller either. But I put out about $300 each crop, and that does not take into account the lights and the rest of the stuff either. I am talking each crop, just in nuts and other such items.
