Wow! Where do I start???

I have been reading this site for a while and have recently bought some white widow seeds. I am wanting to plant 3 plants in a closet. Should I have them in a box in the closet? What is the best way to go about this?

What are the materials I would need? lights, ventalation, carbon filter, ect...?

I have seen the word nute on here a lot, what does that mean?

Should I use soil as a first timer, or hydro?

Thanks for all the help, it is really appreciated.

What type of setup should I make in the closet, or what type of box can I make for the white widow plants?

go with soil.

its alot easier.
and less expensive.
you can also make it just as potent if not more potent than dro.

but dro i think grows quicker.

This is a dumb question lol, but if its done in soil its not considered dro?

do refers to hydroponically grown ganja, no soil.

You said you would be growing in a closet. What are the dimensions?

You should grow your plants in individual pots. Pick the LARGEST sized pots that will fit in the space you have to use and still get adequate light.

Do you have the ability to install an exhaust fan or will you have to rely on something like a regular fan blowing into the closet to move air and blow in fresh cool air and blow out hot air?

Will you need a carbon filter? Well do you live somewhere where people might say what the heck is that odor and become suspicious and you might end up in trouble to some degree or another? If not you do not need a carbon filter and if you can set up an exhaust system that vents outside and there is no one near that will wonder where that odd odor is coming from and start snooping around you wouldn’t need one either.

You will need grow lights and you will get differing opinions here on what to go with but I would purchase a metal halide for vegging and a high pressure sodium for flowering. Others will likely tell you use CFL’s.

Nutes are nutrients, fertilizer.


You picked three plants. Did you buy feminized seeds or regular seeds? If you purchased regular seeds you may get three females and you may get three males and you may get one or two of either and one of the other but you won’t know until you can sex them so if you bought regular seeds germinating three seeds may not give you anything and it may only give you a little and it may give you a half decent amount but it is a gamble if you have regular seeds instead of feminized seeds.

I can not install an exhaust fan(live in an apartment) so I will need a fan or 2, where should I place them? This is another reason I was thinking about building something to grow them in.

Can I get those at lowes or home depot?

I bought regular seeds,I bought 10 seeds so I guess I will try my luck. If I get 3 males on my first try, should I scrap it and re plant new seeds or can I salvage it and still get some good from it?

I am wanting to do indoor, but I live at an apartment, and how safe/ would it be good to do it on the balcony storage closet?

Thanks for all the responses. With time hopefully I will be able to be the one giving the answers back on here haha.

dude i would feel safer that way than growing in a master closet lol. sounds like the only diff would be make sure no lights leak out. make it way easier to vent your grow.

- Lights
- Pots
- Soil
- plant food (nutes)
- Depends what kind of light(s) you wanna use , there are CFLs , HID , MH
- Power Bar(s)
- Timer(s)

I would use soil for a first timer since its more forgiven then dro

Thanks for all the help, it is really appreciated.
