New Grower First time grower looking for advice.

[Lewis Benny]

Hey @Lewis Benny , in the same boat as you, got fed up of scoring every week and hunting that weed fairy out...its only taken me 26yr of smoking to get round to growing. I've just started and on my first grow, got a journal going follow this link. I'm keeping it simple with soil and organic nutes.
My best advice and only advice until get a few of grows under my belt (I'm UK as well), go LED that will keep your parra down on a heat signature. I have the old bill helicopter flying over all the time and my grow is in the loft but i think that the least risky part.
Go for that rhino filter its a must and the muts nuts...
Don't tell your mates, i mean it...full stop...that's whats gonna get you busted. There have been a few busts in my neighborhood, mainly dicks who don't filter properly. Its amazing how much a few plants can smell. Plus they where pretty obvious about it, word was about town. All taken down before there first harvest.
Depending where you are in the UK keep your plants to no more than 4 and you should be safe if it go's wrong.
Start a journal and keep all notes and pics on this site, delete every thing and store nothing on your lap top or phone... if you do get busted it was your first grow every time, they will hold past grows against you.
On a lighter note good luck dude and have fun, it so awesome doing it for your self. Give me shout when you get your first journal up... passing an imaginary phat one dude

Hi mate cheers for the advice man. I'm having some issues with the mother, she doesn't want me to do it mainly based on "We will get evicted if we were caught" so I'm still trying to get her round to it. I'm considering a much smaller tent (50 - 50 - 100cm) and putting it into my wardrobe. But then there are some issues because my wardrobe is narrow and it'd be a pain getting the filtration systems going. I've never wanted to do something so much but there's so many problems and I live 2nd floor apartment in central London. I'll follow your journal man good luck with it. Passing an imaginary phattie back bro!

Give the how much I've spent on it on it over the years argument (that was my main case argument) and to be honest your more chance of getting nicked walking down the road on a stop an search than if you stick to the no smell, no sell, no tell rules... Keep at it dude she will come round in the end, hopefully. It took me a couple of years with the misses and in the end kinda made it out to be her idea (she's got a friend who's hubby grows and she though it was good idea)... der been saying that for some time love...
I'd go for a tent 120cm or 160cm high if you can and maybe just stick to one plant with a cfl for a start... you could even look into the none stinky strains just to get the ball rolling.

how you doing lewis.. im new to this too but have friends in the field.. (pun semi intended)
im still yet to decide out of canna or advanced nutrients.. but do remember that they are weeds and like many say will grow in cracks on there own.. we can just helo and aid them..

theres always micro/pc grows different flavours not much nutes used get and very small space although it would put your plant ratio up for yield..
