Ok so this is my plan.

I am going to grow one or two Northern Lights plants in my closet.
Ive read that they usually don't smell too bad which is a big issue.
I am not going to be selling much if any so it wont be hard to keep it a secret.

I am going to build a plywood box big enough for the plant.
In the box I am going to put a light in the top, a fan on one side and a carbon filter in the other (for air flow and odor control).

As soon as there are leafs I am going to grind them up and spread them around the front yard like Barry said(Just in case!!).

So that is my basic idea, any suggestions?

This wont be for a few months, I am just getting an idea.




Also, I am bringing the seeds back from the UK. As uncomfortable as the idea is the only really safe way I can think to transport them is.....um....hrmmm.....in my rectum. I assume I am safe this way, just checking. And do dogs even pick up on seeds?


Thank you guys!!

Yes, dogs can pick up on seeds. But you will be safe if it's in your rectum. Double bag 'em in plastic from garbage bags and swallow.

Make sure you get good ventilation in the box and in the closet and room.

For both safety reasons and for the plants growth.

How much is considered good ventilation?

I was just going to have the fan going constantly and just let the houses system circulate the room its in.

Are there any big no no's that I should know about?

My buddy was showing me some when we went to the pet store. They have some in the aquarium section that come in a sheetlike filter. It looked like it could have been modified to work for filtering air through. They are originally meant to filter water in an aquarium filter.

3 links for DIY carbon filters.

Instead of sheetlike filters you can use the activated carbon pellets, so long as you figure out a method to screen them off and flow air through them. A container of such carbon goes for about 6 dollars at walmart. The above links should help with a way to figure out the best method for you to apply this to your setup. Such filters are only truly effective in a closed environment. Air exhausted from your grow area should be vented through the filter to remove odors.

So I just fill the container with carbon pellets?

PS. I started posting of Grass City, and they are all a bunch of jerks! Well, not all, but they arn't as warm and cuddly as you all!

And they said that spreading leaves in the front yard wouldn't work, at that I discredited what they said. Razz

So to get the air in my box, a little fan at the top, then to get the flow, a fan at the bottom with the output into the carbon filter thingy?
I thought carbon filters used electricity? Again, I am a complete noob to this scene, but I want to get my stuff from a reliable source as well as not support the violence that goes into smuggling.

You'll want to grind and mulch up any leaves and stems before you spread them out, don't just put whole leaves out, make sure its ground up to dust/powder.

You'll want the fan blowing into the filter I believe.. Pulling air in and pushing it out.

So, what is the best Cannabis growing book?

When I start I want to be able to look stuff up without worrying.

Preferably one geared toward closet growing, best yield, etc.

Also, do male plants not produce buds?

Thank you guys!
