Hey!
There’s some things I am planning on ordering, and I’d like to get them delivered without my parents knowing.
The things in question are some 23w CFL bulbs, e27 sockets, PC fans and a power strip.
I was originally planning on just buying them in person, but literally no shops near me have them.
I can’t actually find them anywhere but the american version of amazon – my country’s (Ireland) version of amazon doesn’t have them.
I asked a few friends if I could send the things to their house, and get it through them, but all of them said no.
If you are not in a position to do it properly, it’s not worth doing over just buying weed.
It’s not just about yield, even if you’re comfortable with a very low yielding harvest, but your quality will suffer and the genetics will not reach their full potential without the right things.
The CFLs don’t have enough of a broad spectrum to support a lot of good growth, and you’ll end up with low quality results with a low yield. Not to mention any tent is likely to make some noise, from the extraction fan and a fan for circulating air around, and even with an extraction fan for good bud if you’re trimming outside of the tent it WILL stink up your house something fierce.
Not to mention your parents would get suspicious of the constant visits to your room, as your learning to maintain good VPD etc.
Airflow being important if you don’t want mold.
Anyone can grow weed, but it takes some effort to grow good weed. It would be wise to consider this once you have your own place to do so, it’s worth the wait and you can easily pull 3-4+ ounces per plant (in dry weight) under a 200w LED with the right gear, but the CFLs will be weaker and probably net you under an ounce in dry weight.
Making me wanna grow weed over here.
It’s quite satisfying. I grew a very colourful cultivar this time around, and I’m sampling it right now (Blood Diamonds 2.0).
Once you have things dialed in, environment wise, there is great benefit in being able to choose genetics (be wise to find reputable breeders however, and steer clear of white label seeds as well).
There are just so many flavours and variations people growing for an illegal market do not have the patience for. I mean I had to push these until 11 weeks in flower until they were ripe enough to chop! Well worth it though, and I recommend anyone in the position to try it to give growing a shot.
