No Stupid Questions

Okay I'll help you make this terrible decision and lend a homie a hand. Have it delivered to your local post office and pick it up from there. Then smuggle it into your house.

You live with your parents, are scared of them seeing what you’re buying, can’t even figure out how to buy something without asking the internet, and you still somehow think you’re going to grow weed without them knowing?

Dude….. come on lol

Don't try growing weed at your parent's house or with a 23w CFL bulb.

LOL your parents' house is going to reek of weed. You will get caught. Grow outdoor in a hidden place or wait until you get your own apartment.

The smell is gonna give you away. You'd be better off growing mushrooms.

Do you have collection lockers for parcel firms near you

If you are not in a position to do it properly, it's not worth doing over just buying weed.

It's not just about yield, even if you're comfortable with a very low yielding harvest, but your quality will suffer and the genetics will not reach their full potential without the right things.

The CFLs don't have enough of a broad spectrum to support a lot of good growth, and you'll end up with low quality results with a low yield. Not to mention any tent is likely to make some noise, from the extraction fan and a fan for circulating air around, and even with an extraction fan for good bud if you're trimming outside of the tent it WILL stink up your house something fierce.
Not to mention your parents would get suspicious of the constant visits to your room, as your learning to maintain good VPD etc.

Airflow being important if you don't want mold.

Anyone can grow weed, but it takes some effort to grow good weed. It would be wise to consider this once you have your own place to do so, it's worth the wait and you can easily pull 3-4+ ounces per plant (in dry weight) under a 200w LED with the right gear, but the CFLs will be weaker and probably net you under an ounce in dry weight.

Here in California, I rent a mailbox and get all my mail and packages there.

CFL bulbs?! No one buys those any more. LED bulbs have displaced them.

You should be able to get either type of bulb, plus the E27 sockets, at any hardware store. Maybe not PC fans but maybe you can use a small desk fan.

You might also want an activated charcoal canister air filter so your parents don't smell whatever you are growing with those lamps.

You need to keep in mind that everything on the internet is surveiled these days, and there is a strong possibility that your local police department will find out about you buying these things. You can get in serious trouble like years in prison trouble with years of probation and fees after you get out, and prison and probation is not a good place to be. If you are going to sell weed, you need to evaluate the cost benefits analysis of this. How much money do you honestly expect to make to balance the huge risk you are taking? Selling slightly above the cost is not worth it. If you are going to sell weed then you probably should try to make a lot of money off of it and then quit while you are ahead. This can maybe make the risk worth it if you value your limited years on this earth in money. Personally I'd rather just work a normal job, and just buy weed. It's extremely cheap. I don't smoke anymore but the amount of weed id have to grow to make this a rational decision was not something I was willing to do. Also I don't want to live in prison for years eating bologna sandwiches made by drug addicts. Prisons are disgusting and horrible places.

Hiding the delivery of the equipment seems the least of your problems. Where are you planning on setting this up that you could hide it? Power consumption? Whatever this project is, if you live at home and can't tell your parents about it, how do you expect to hide it?

How are you going to hide the increase in power consumption? Water too to an extent.

I ORDERED AN XBOX CARD

Mother: It looks like a bong

Sounds like a good time to start collecting orchids.

Does Amazon have the same kind of delivery boxes at grocery stores and such over there as they do here in the US?

The hardest part will be hiding the light/smell/sound.

As an aside, one of my housemates was dealing out of our house (unbeknownst to me) and we wound up getting raided.

It was awful, Id seriously reconsider growing secret plants at home unless you're okay with the possibilty of pigs fucking up your parents/siblings rooms.

Are you aware of the difference in mains voltage between Ireland and USA?

Start ordering stuff from aliexpress and hide the packages in the onslaught.

Have your parcels addressed to Poste Restante; ie: care of the post office. Should be a free service. Go in once a week with ID and ask if they have mail for you.

An Post has parcel lockers. I don't know if that will necessarily work for situation. https://www.anpost.com/

Space Bucket?

I'd say no too. I don't fully know your situation, but based on what information you've provided, I worry you're blindly following a guide without thinking through the possible end game. If that's true, I worry that you're going to get caught and you're going to get in a hell of a lot of trouble.

There's no way to guarantee a delivery date so there's no way to guarantee your parents won't be home. Getting a PO box might work.

But I just wanna say I think what you're trying to do is a bad idea. Not judging, just don't want you to get in trouble.

Hmm, do you have pack stations? Also some stores here allow you to pick up small packages as a delivery option

I don't know why, but I've assumed it has always been legal in Ireland.
