This is my first time growing and I have decided to do it because I'm tired of reading and thinking about and I am just going to do it. I set this up in one of these crawl space/storage things i have in my house and it has like a 3 foot door and then some storage and then behind some junk and a sheet is my setup.
BOX AND SETUP It is in a cardboard box but I'm not really concerned about heat because I'm using CFLs and only about 3 plants. so the box is about 42"h X 24"w X 18"d and it sits on top of a 13 gallon Rubbermaid that has three holes in it for the net pots. This setup becomes really cheap when you do it the way i did it. Some of the items i received via 5 finger discount at fred meyer(it like wall mart in the NW kinda).
Lighting
4 X 42w 2700k bulbs approx.10000 lumen(switched for 23w 6500k when i flower)
8 X 23w 6500k bulbs approx. 10000 lumen
1 X 60w incandescent plant light(my room is pretty cold)
8 clamp lights with removable sockets. These are really cool because you can take them out of the clamp and you have 150w socket at your disposal that is reletively easy to attach in your grow room. i just poked them through my cardboard box after cutting an X and they fit snuggly right in there.
Water system
DWC Bubbleponics with net pots hydroton expanded clay and rockwool.
3 20-30 gallon fish tank air pumps with air stones.
Nutrients
Supernatural 3 phase set
i got this for free at my hydroponic store that i go to. it was my second time in there and i was talking to the guy about nutrients and said that i didnt really think i was going to buy anything and he was like well we have some sample stuff and dug around in a small box then was like...actually have this it will get you throught your first harvest. They were like 25$ so that turned out to be a nice little gift.
Comes with Grow Aqua for veg
comes with bloom aqua for flower
comes with super boost for rooting and flowering
Cost
Cardboard- Free i used a box i had
Rubbermaid- Free i had one
8 Sockets- Free but like 5 bucks each if paid for. i just slipped of the label and put it in my pocket. its just a cord with a light socket on the end.
4 23w 6500k- free or 15 bucks for 4 pack
4 42w 2700k- free or 10 bucks
Nutes- Free, dont steal these haha or 25$
hydroton- 10$
net pots- 1$, 4$ total for 4 pots
air pump- had one bought one, 15$
so this setup cost me 29$ haha but its 139 w/o nutrients so depending on nutrients....this set up with these nutrients would cost $164 if you had to buy EVERYTHING. but odds are you might have some of this stuff lying around or an unattentive shopping center like i do.
