Indoor growing has many advantages, besides the apparent fact that it is much
harder to have your crop "found," you can control the ambient conditions just
exactly as you want them and get a guaranteed "good" plant. Plants grown indoors
will not appear the same as their outdoor cousins. They will be scrawnier
appearing with a weak stems and may even require you to tie them to a growing
post to remain upright, BUT THEY WILL HAVE AS MUCH OR MORE RESIN! If growing in
a room, you should put tar paper on the floors and then buy sterilized bags of
soil form a nursery. You will need about one cubic foot of soil for each plant.
The plants will need about 150ml of water per plant/per week. They will also
need fresh air, so the room must be ventilated. (however, the fresh air should
contain NO TOBACCO smoke.) At least eight hours of light a day must be provided.
As you increase the light, the plants grow faster and show more females/less males.
Sixteen hours of light per day seems to be the best combination, beyond this
makes little or no appreciable difference in the plant quality. Another idea is
to interrupt the night cycle with about one hour of light. This gives you more
females. The walls of your growing room should be painted white or covered with
aluminum foil to reflect the light. The lights themselves can be either bulbs of
fluorescent. Figure about 75 watts per plant or one plant per two feet of
flouresent tube. The fluorescents are the best, but do not use "cool white"
types. The light sources should be an average of twenty inches from the plant
and NEVER closer than 14 inches. They may be mounted on a rack and moved every
few days as the plants grow. The very best light sources are those made by
Sylvania and others especially for growing plants (such as the "gro lux" types).
