Guess the goal of this thread is a few things..
1. see who can grow for little or no $$
2. See what the big kids pay for![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
3. helping others be more frugal with the expenses..
4. my attempt at trying to see tha value in what some of you are doing.
Ive seen a few posts where they are using 100 gal containers and buying 10$ fox farm soils etc.. ouch... pricey.
2012 Total Grow Costs $74.00
(to be fair about my grow.. I am able to spend all day everyday with my ladies... and time is more valuable then pesticides or chemicals)
Soil (reused and composted from the prior year ) added some additional stuff like amend and steer crap
5xbags each at 1.40 for steer +2 $ for the amend 2 bags each.
11$ total for soil
Containers (free) (never be afraid to use Kitty litter buckets right?? Fresno farmer!
I used a mop bucket this year till she she got too big)
light (free thank ya Lord)
Nutes-Chems etc $13 for Super bloom
Grow Lic.. renewel 50
Total cost this year $74.00!!
I forgot the most important part of my grow the plants-seeds..
I am very very lucky to know a buddy who has given me seeds/clones for 2 years..
If I had to pay for them I can add about 60$ /yr (after he has cloned his I veg em till I can clone them or I plant seeds.. damn I cant believe I forgot the plant cost.. lol
(last year was a bit more had just started it and had nothing whatsoever for pot usage or growing)
