Smallest space

Big Calhoun Registered on May-08-2006 More User Info Message #41229 posted by Big Calhoun (Info) February 10, 2008 14:41:59 ET If I could, I'd like to get some realistic input from some seasoned growers. I live in a two bedroom apartment in North Texas. Plenty of closets but with a small child and less than supportive wife (in regards to marijuana smoking and growing), growing inside is not an option. However, I do have an outside utility closet that could be used for a washer and dryer, but right now just has boxes of stuff left unpacked. There's one light fixture above. It does have a vent for a dryer connection, so I figure I could fashion some sort of ventilation to vent out smell, although it would be risky as I live on the corner of our building. The room itself measures approx 10ft high, 5 ft across, and probably 4 or 5ft deep. Considering getting optimal nutes, using compact flourescents, using scroging (sp?) to get a bushier plant, could this space be used for growing and produce a plant with a fair amount of quality? I'm not looking to start an herb farm, 1 or 2(max) plants purely for personal comfort. Any help would be appreciated.

Consider this...

(Info) February 11, 2008 02:42:08 ET If smell is an issue, carbon filtering is a MUST! Venting smell to the outside could mean trouble if your neighbors people wonder why they smell skunks. If you do grow, never brush up against your plants because it releases that smell. Try to never touch them. F
