I'm looking for a 3x3ish grow tent and a light. I've been looking at kits online and the reviews are all so mixed, I think it would be better to put one together myself. Problem is, I'm on a bit of a budget to start this project. I intend to round out the kit as needed, but I don't want to sink a ton of money into a project that may not work out for different reasons.

Can someone suggest me an LED light, exhaust fan and tent?

    Yeah, in a positive way for sure! My first grow was a bag seed that got pretty sad a couple times early on and I wound up getting close to an ounce off of her.

    As long as you're keeping an eye on them they're pretty easy to keep alive imo — it's called weed for a reason and def will do its best to grow like one. They need a bit more diligence when they're sprouts or seedlings, but after that they're pretty hardy. If you haven't come across it yet, the Plant Doctor on growweedeasy.com is a huge help for diagnosing and fixing issues, I still consult it pretty regularly

        Ah fair yeah, I've never had to talk any roommates into me doing it before, just my wife, and it was a little less of a concern since I lived in a legal state at the time.

        Even since my first plant I've always grown way more than I smoked, but i love being able to give some away to friends and comrades too. It's so much fun to grow even as more of a casual user than a dedicated stoner – I know a handful of farmers that grow it on the side as a hobby just cause it's such a neat, rewarding plant to cultivate. One of my favorite hobbies for sure.

            Smell depends on the strain, but just about any plant will have a noticeable odor from about 1-2 rooms away during flower if you don't have a filter. I didn't bother with it for my first few grows and you couldn't ever really smell it outside of my apartment, though from the inside it was pretty distinct as the plant got closer to harvest time

                carbon filters are pretty easy to kludge together with some activated charcoal and a cheap pc fan, fwiw

              Literally describing heaven lmao

              I tried to grow in the woods as a kid, and I think deer are em or something. Don’t think it’s in the cards any time soon but it sounds nice!
