Tips from a fellow enthusiast:

1.) Get a GOOD light. (Checkout the Thinkgrow Model-H for example).

2.) Set up a good hydroponic system, and use timers for your water schedule. (I recommend drips system. And don't forget to flush with water at least twice between feedings to prevent salt build-up)

3.) Use as big of a pot as you can realistically get away with. The bigger your rootball, the bigger your plant and more nutrients it can take up.

4.). Get a GOOD carbon filter and no one will ever know your growing....unless you open your tent...

5.) Get a good tent! You want reflective walls, ventilation ports, cord access, etc.

6.) and lastly...and most importantly, get good genetics. Autos are great for a trial grow, but nothing will ever beat a good photoperiod plant - better yield, better quality, and massive, beautiful, photo-worthy colas.

Follow these basic tips, and I guarantee you'll grow something better than you'll be able to get at most dispensaries.

Thank you ๐Ÿ’•

The first ones I'll just throw onto my balcony. I'll check how they manage and how I manage to keep them alive before investing into a proper setup. But I'll get back to these tips. Thanks again ๐Ÿ’–

You and everyone else is going to be potting outdoors now that it's legal, and if there is a single male anywhere within a mile or two of you (which is pretty much guaranteed in the city), you'll end up getting pollinated. I would highly recommend you don't do that....BUT, if you do, at least grow two plants so you can compare if you notice any issues in one of your plants.

G'luck!

Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm just too late, EVERYTHING grow boxy is sold out here ๐Ÿ˜…

I just had a look at the light. That thing is way bigger than the tent I'm looking at right now. I guess I'll check for a smaller one.
