First Time Grow: Very New Beginner

[mattya18]

gday folks!

 

due to lack of space at home i was considering growing in my closet but after reading some posts on this forum

it has looked like a very expensive and long procedure. Is it possible just to stick a pot plant under a lamp and see what happens? Or is there a simpler method? Ive been seeing a lot of talk about smell too is it really that strong?

 

Just wondering as well if those seed banks are really worth sending money to being in melbourne?

 

Thanks for your help

ive set up my closet hydro for a little under $500

 

i think the gains of having a good crop will save you alot more money than that!!!

Hi mattya18 & Welcome to OS.

 

Is it possible just to stick a pot plant under a lamp and see what happens?

 

yes it is possible however not a lot will happen apart from germination of a seed. It may survive for a week or 2 and not progress any further along in the plants natural life cycle. You need certain other requirements such as appropriate spectrum of light, nutrients, & water.

 

Of course if your happy just doing it for fun ............... it can't hurt anything, bur remember to sprout just 1 seed is against Australian law & is a criminal if u get caught.
