0 Dollar Investment Grow 12/12 from seed

Hey guys, I started a thread in the micro grow section but the area I was using was just to small so I moved it out and I have a little poverty grow box.

All the supplies I have for the grow I already had or someone helped me out and supplied it so I have spent zero dollars on this grow thus far.

My supplies: -32w 2700k cfl + 25w cfl tube
-Usb adapted mini fan
-Soil from outside which I baked and then cleaned the roots bugs etc out as a helpful website instructed.
-MG nutes someone gave me
-4 Cups stacked with tops/bottoms cut off [besides bottom cup just 2 holes on sides for drainage] so I'd say probably a 25oz cup which from other grows I've seen a large plant can survive in as small as a 16oz red cup so she will probably be ok for her life in there.

Seed- "Ice Cream" seed from a friends grow. The plant was female and made a few last minute seeds. I started with 3 seedling but one just died after it sprouted and one very very slowly grew and then just died. This plant has been going good so far.

So enough talk I'll post some pics and try to regularly update as this is a 12/12 from seed grow it should go very fast .

Just a picture of the grow space minus the fan.



2weeks from seed. Her baby leaves just started dying 2 days ago.

Picture of my baby, her 1st set is only the width of a mini bic and shes on her 3rd and 4th leaf set. Started lst yesterday saw that you can start at 3rd leaf set.

I have a question for anyone who may be able to answer. As the baby leaves started to die I gave the plant very dilluted nutes as I read you can start once the baby leaves die. The plant had been growing quite slowly but surely but once I gave it the dilluted nutes the 3rd and 4th set started shooting up 3x faster and all the leaves got bigger and the plant just overall looked happier.

Could I need to give this plant more nutes than usual? Assuming this soil doesn't have many nutes

Finally one week into flowering shes showing sex and its female as big long white hairs have all the sudden started bursting out . Been pretty chill grow so far, she gets thirsty really quick I've noticed have to get her soaking wet every 2 days or her leaves start sagging. One time her whole cola was sagging after three days of not watering...seems very weird she gets dry so quick.



Picture doesn't pay the plant justice it's probably two times taller than the lighter her stem is just curvy from the lst.

Also her leaves are coming out all mutated...whats up with that?

I'm trying not to be mean. But dude, zero dollar grows are seldom worth the price. Buy a book. Buy some dirt. Buy a few lights. "Times with pot and no money will get you through better than times with money and no pot."

please dont tell me u are flowering that

Clay or plastic pots are pretty cheap. I'd spring for one. Right now your on pace for a joint.

Its fine guys...

This is good experience and kudos to him if he can keep it alive in that space/container.

He admits its a micro grow with no budget. I'm sure he isn't looking to yield weight, but merely grow a plant to completion.

If you wanna grow a few grams of pot for personal use cool but at least spend a lil cash to grow something decent!
I know we all started some where and I've done the same but you are going below the bar of beginners.

If you are still growing at least get decent soil and nutrients. Next invest in a small light t5 or better larger watt cfl.

Keep growing the way you want, experiments are always fun. You don't need weight to have fun. Fuck, I could grow out a male and still have fun.

Happy Growing

I love the homemade planter, truly unique.
