I've been reading through a lot of the threads but it would just be easier for me to have all the info I need personally in one thread instead of digging through a shit ton of threads. I know, I'm a bit lazy. Also, until I get a new job (hours got cut at my current), I am a bit limited on funds for now so the cheaper (but still effective), the better for me. Please don't tell me not to bother growing.
I got some seeds from my sister, not sure what kind as she's just been collecting them for a while. I also got some pots from a friend that are 6 inches in diameter and 6 inches tall. I'll be growing in my closet. I am aware I need light, a fan, and obviously some soil. Here are my questions:
1) Lights: What kind of cheap bulbs work best? I've seen a number of different posts about them but I want to know what's been shown to work best. Also, how close should they be to the plant? And let's say I'm going to grow two plants, one in each pot, how many bulbs should I use? I've read a lot about 12/12 lighting but I've also seen some other variations so help with that would be cool too.
2) Fertilizer and soil: What kind of plant fertilizer works best? Should I even use plant fertilizer? Does it matter what kind of soil I use or can I just use dirt from the ground?
3) Don't really have the money or skills to build/buy a carbon scrubber so is there anything else I can do to prevent the plants from reeking too badly? It's more so the skills I don't have once it gets to the part where I have to hook up a fan. Trust me, it's just not a good idea for me. lol.
4) About how fast should my plants be growing if I'm doing a halfway decent job?
5) I've established the fact that I shouldn't water every day but I've seen a few different posts about how often to actually water. So how often and how much? Also, what should the ph levels be throughout growing?
Any and all good feedback is mucho appreciated. Bad feedback just makes me sad. I have not actually started growing yet because I would like to do this right and not over-do anything. Or under-do.
Thanks guys!
