I've seen cheapers and very expensive ways, think they all about the amount that u wanna grow right ? If someone wants to grow 2 or 3 trees how much he has to pay at least.
What we have to have. Just fatal ones.
For ex: light or anything else for the plant.
DIY techniques may be included.
Dont want to have a huge and best plant.

I have opened this tag for those their currency is really poor against dollar :))

Fair enough, you can start with a liter size cup, three-quarters full of potting or seedling soil, a seed half-inch deep, splash of water and a baggie on top to hold in the moisture. When it sprouts in three days, take off the baggie and either a fluorescent light or led bulb is all the light it needs to grow.42733465-C9CA-4F0E-8E35-B977A9B06D09.jpeg

Hi everybody!
It is soilless ( contains worm casting +perlit and coco kinda thing) I use tap water and havent fed yet. Lights are not very good but it makes me think that it works.

I will have some questions again;
1) is it small ? I feel like leaves are growing but its height is not.
2) waiting the leaves yellow to feed ? Or does she need it now to increase the growing speed ?
3) any problem seeing ?
4)how many weeks more 18/6 hours light will be ?
5)there are 3 holes bottom the pot but it hasnt been completely dry since 10-15 days. I m talkingn about the deepest of the soil cuz the root environment is about to dry. When do i need to water? Wait to all soil drying ? Or root around need to keep moist ?

Any advice will be welcome thanks in advance.IMG_20210703_120517.jpgIMG_20210703_120511.jpg

1. It does look a bit small but it's OK. Better too short than too tall and lanky from not enough light. The short height is probably due to whatever type of light you're using. They look like the screw in LED type though.
2. withholding nitrogen will slow a plant's growth. You're only in soilless with worm castings so there's probably not much in your rootzone for nutes.
3. I don't see anything bad. The soil's dry looking so you haven't been drowning it. The soil meter is nice. Upper leaves are starting to lime green a bit; how are you planning on feeding her?
4. Only you can tell how many weeks of 18/6. It has to get some more size though, but we don't know much about your setup so it's impossible to tell you when to flip to 12's.
5. I think you're doing a good job with fluids. Most new people drown them. You're in a big clay pot right? Clay dries out fast because it breathes. I let the pot get light feeling and then put fluids on completely and I always let a good amount of fluid drain through.

You don't have to break the bank to grow indoors or outdoors. Some people think you need to spend a ton of money but they're wrong. You don't need the most expensive light, bottles of fancy nutrients, and all kinds of doodads and gadgets.

I'm just amazed how much some people spend growing weed.

Maximum 2 weeks i ve been giving 18/6 hours light.think have a long way for now :)
It s not clay, it s plastic pot but has holes at the bottom, dont think it dries fast, hopefully it breaths.

Although Top layer is dry , sometimes i see flies around it and kill them. As i said top layer is dry but bottom layer is almost wet. Why it takes long like this, dont get it. U mean I better give half cap from the bottom through the holes ?

Wait til the bottom is dry. Drill holes in the sides of the pot if you can. The roots need to dry. The plant will recover very quickly if it wilts from being too dry but if it wilts from being too wet it will drown.

It says mix one cap for one liter water. Then I will feed slowly till that liter finish. Do i think wrong ?

@Kerowacked is giving you great advice. Let the pot get light feeling before you put fluids on her or you'll block oxygen from the roots (drown them). When it's dry again mix it up like @Kerowacked said: shake it well and use half a dose. Do not feed slowly to finish. I'd personally mix 2 or more liters at 1/2 a cap per liter, saturate the soil until it starts to run off a bit and then put a half liter or so through her. Try cutting off the covers of one or all of your bulbs to see if it gives you better light. I think it will since your covers look frosted white instead of clear. Go away until it gets light again and then do the same with water as you did with the fert.
I do try very hard to not let them wilt though; especially with a seed start.
Drilling holes in the pot is a good idea; more air to the roots.
I just started using cloth grow bags for my moms and I'm getting away from plastic pots for the same reason; air to the roots.
