Ok, so this set up wont suit most people. But if it does then it is easy, cheap and requires almost no equipment or materials.
My bedroom was once an attic so it has skylights. I smoked joints in that room for two years before i even thought about growing, and I wish id done so sooner.
My setup uses just two five gallon grow bags each filled with peat moss and vermiculite and worm castings in a ration of about 1/10.
Pictured are 5 week flowered cheese.
Worm castings requires a vermicomposter which is essentially a bin of worms peatmoss which you feed organic waste. The worm shit is worm castings which are really good for the plant. Check the forum on advanced cultivation in the thread earthworms for more precise info on this matter. This requires no chemical fertilizers and can never cause nute burn, which is a common beginner mistake. I myself almost killed a plant as many do. The worm bin costs 40 bucks or so to setup yourself. You can also buy ones at wromfactory.com for like 90. But you never have to buy fertilizers again, plus the plants will love you for it. So green and happy.
I live in a region with long winters and short days so it is not ideal for me to grow in the fall/winter but i still get good yields and have no potency issue. These were grown in the fall with only maybe 4 hours on sunlight a day.
In my first grow my plants got too big. This time I tied them down as they were growing to keep them short and bushy. This is called low stress training. This is also helpful if you live in a busy area and dont want the plants to become visible to people as they get too big.
The other issue I have is that I have an east and west facing skylight which means if I want to give the plants all the light I can I must move them midday. As a stoner/student this is not a problem for my self, probably an issue for most. Ideally though you would have a south facing skylight and would not have to move them at all. On that note ..
Currently I am forced to move them into a closet during their rest cycles. This is a pain in the ass and the main reason I am only growing two plants currently (also the winters coming). Perhaps you could cover the skylight at night and enclose the plants in some sort of tent like thing.
My point is that my setup is the least ideal that it could. I would not have thought that could survive on 4 hours a day of light, but they do and look beautiful. And if you could get 8-12 hours of natural sunlight through a window for most of the year, then I hope you use it.
Anyways, like I said this wont work for a lot of people, especially if discretion is an issue. But if you do have a south facing skylight or bay window that you could partially obstruct, think about using it to its full potential. The suns there for a reason.
And just so you know im not just talking shit. This is a nug from my first ever attempt at growing.
Cheers
