Since there is no sun in your closet you will have to provide a sun loving plant like marijuana with a lot of artificial light. There are three options available to the grower: fluorescent lights are cheap, efficient, and don't put out much heat. Metal halide, or MH bulbs, are more expensive but put out much more light than fluorescents. They also put out more heat so ventilation is needed. MH bulbs also require a separate ballast in order to work. High Pressure Sodium lamps, or HPS, put out as much light as MH lamps but with a little less heat. Ventilation and a separate ballast are also required. Fluorescent lights Fluorescent lights are the cheapest light to use. They run at about $2 a tube. They produce little heat so ventilation may not be needed unless the space is very small. The light spectrum put out by these lights is suitable for all stages of growing. Because fluorescents disperse light over a large area, they need to be kept within three inches of the tops for the plants to receive enough light. This means you will have to mount the lights in a way that the can be raised everyday. Metal Halide Lights Metal halide lamps put out the most light. They also produce alot of heat. A strong fan is needed to keep room temperatures down. MH lamps put out light mostly in the blue spectrum. Blue light is used best by the plant during vegetative growth. MH lights can also be used for flowering with no adverse effects. A separate ballast is required for these lights to work. They come in sizes from 40 to 1000W. One 1000W lamp will provide enough light in a closet to grow four plants. High Pressure Sodium Lights High pressure sodium lamps put out almost as much light as MH and with less heat. Good ventilation is still required though. HPS lamps produce light in mostly the red and orange end of the spectrum. The plants uses this light best when flowering. HPS lamps can also be used for vegetative growth with little slow down in foliage production. HPS lamps require a separate ballast for operation. Some growers switch between MH and HPS depending on what stage the plants are in. MH is used in vegetative growth and then the light is switched over to HPS once flowering begins. Most growers use fluorescents to start seedlings and root clones. The fluorescents are weaker than the MH and HPS lamps and therefore do not stress them too much. Choose whatever light is best suited for your situation. If your are growing in your attic go with MH or HPS. If your growing in the closet like us, then use fluorescents. (For the rest of ths document I will assume the reader is using fluorescent lighting)
Thats what I do, and I've been shot at a couple times because I have the best prices and best weed. I've compared 100 watt basking lamp with special weed growing lights, and the basking lamp works 200% better. Happy Growing!
Yes, it is possible to grow carrots indoors. You will need a deep enough container, well-draining soil, adequate sunlight or grow lights, and regular watering to successfully grow carrots indoors. Choose a carrot variety suitable for container growing for best results.
Best way is the well cultivated soil and red soil or add waste of animals like cow, mix it. It depends if your growing it indoors or outdoors. If indoors, you can go to your local gardening store or supermarket and look for potted soil.
high pressure sodium lights or led grow lights
The best soil for growing marijuana is a well-draining and nutrient-rich soil mix that is specifically formulated for cannabis plants. Many growers use a blend of organic soil, perlite, coco coir, and other amendments to create an optimal growing medium. It's important to ensure the pH level of the soil is suitable for cannabis plants to thrive.
Fluorescent HID lights work well with all types of soil, instead try matching the type of fluorescent light with the type of plant you're growing. Standard fluorescent give of duller light and work better with starting a plant that will eventually go outside. Compact fluorescent, on the other hand, give of much more light and work best with growing larger plants indoors.
I will answer your question as generally as you have asked it. Try bat guano. That is assuming you are growing in soil.
In many places, possession of marijuana seeds is not necessarily illegal, but growing marijuana plants from those seeds may be illegal depending on the location's laws. It's always best to check your local laws and regulations regarding marijuana cultivation.
The best marijuana is grown in Humboldt County, a coastal county in northern California. The climate is ideal for cannibus. 70% of weed throughout the states is grown in Humboldt.

Sativa plants produce the best bud. Indica plants grow tall. Try to find a hybrid. White Widow, Northern lights, and OG kush are what I've heard to be the strongest
It really depends on the strain. If you're growing a more Indica-based strain (shorter, bushier, couchlock stone), an Aero 3 would definitely suffice. But for the taller Sativa strains (scrawnier, head high) the larger models might work better, as they can handle taller plants and also have an extension you can buy to make the lights go even taller.
