Welcome New Members!

What's good fellow smokers/growers! Just wanna kinda chronicle my first grow (low budget). Of course I'm open to suggestions and criticism. Anyway, I currently have six plants nearing the end of their second week of flowering and frankly for a low budget cfl grow I think they look damn good! Ive got 3 or 4 strains and I'm not sure what they all are. I do know that I have a White Rhino and I'm pretty sure that another one is Black Velvet, which is a crossbreed between Purple Kush and another strain which I'm not familiar with. There might also be a Blueberry/Northern Lights No. 5 cross. Gonna have to wait and see.

I got em in Scotts topsoil inside 5 gallon pots and I'm using Miracle grow, Superthrive, & I introduced Jamaican bat guano once I started flowering. I was using 60w equivalent cfls and upgrade to 100w equivalents about a week ago, but I just came across actual 300w cfls yesterday so I should be real good now. I was gonna get a 400w hps bulb before I found the cfls, but the ballast was gonna set me back at least $125. This being a low budget grow, that was'nt in the budget.

Looking forward to harvesting close to the end of July and I would like to have some new babies on their way by the end of June. Have not tried cloning yet, I just don't feel confident enough yet. Besides I have quite a few seeds left so I might as well put them to good use. I don't even have the proper setup for clones yet so I'll get to that later. Just can't wait to smoke and sell my own shit and I know ya'll feel me on that!

I don't know what your budget is like, but if you could get your hands on some Superthrive, Bat Guano, and maybe some Floralicious along with maybe a 400w hps light you'd be in da game then.

alright thanks where can i get that guano or the other nutes because i don't like using the internet to buy stuff to grow and lowes and wal mart just aren't cutting it anymore. did you only do 6 plants and got all females? i have 6 right now in veg stage but i'm gonna clone them to find out what they are then keep the females and clone them more.

Hey all, im newb here just saying hi!

hoog if it looks ok...its ok.... dont change anything until a problem develops. slow growth is ok right now. rember your plants will get up to double there size after you start flowering. right now your main concern is keeping it healthy which it seems like your doing. Dont change a thing. by harvest (most likely around oct) that this is gonna be huge if its outddor in full sun.

hey wassup i am a newbie here. i ve never grown before so i need some help. i wanna try outdoors since i live in the emerald green city of seattle. i was wondering what kind of light and how many watts i would need to grow just one plant. ive already made preperations for my grow area i jusd need my lights. i am only planning on growing one (probably 2 in case one goes bad) for personal smoke. i ve been told i have everything i need and i just need to go get my lights. my budget isnt high so i cant get all high tech. (bad scenario when you want to get high) i just wanna know what types of lights i need and cheap ones at that. my goal is to get lights that are cheap but will do the job efficiently for 1 to 2 plants. any comment or advise will greatly help thanks

Hi all, new on here so treat me gentle ! OK I have done my homework and plan a bud box of 1.2m2 with say 8 plants, I would like to ask some advice, I work all day so was thinking of using a wilma drip system, is this ok or would I be better off using coco/soil in pots, also pot size I have heard one gallon (5 litre) per month of plant life so Im believing 3 gallon pots. I plan to use a 600w hps lamp x 1 as this seems to give the best ratio of light vs power and I plan on using a bud box with carbon filter etc.

I pay my electricity prepaid on a key here in the UK , can any members advise what the consumption will be and what precautions I should consider

Thanks for any advice guys !!

Hey all. First time attempting this. I have germinated my seeds and I am ready to move them to a cup or planter to start.... I "kind of know what im doing" but I don't. I would love any advice, opinions, feedback. I am only trying this with 3 or 4 plants. This will also be indoors. I dont have all the money in the world to set up this extreme grow room. Just going to put them in my basement with the grow lights.

Hey wats up...I have been around this site for at least 2 yrs. I already had an account my name was bog, I made a couple post about my purple power and other stuff. But I made another account. I have no idea what Im doing when it comes down to growing ( I have 2 keep it as cheap as possible, low budget) so I was hoping you all can help. Peace

Hello, nice to meet you all.

I moved to a new area recently and no longer have weed contacts, so we decided to try and grow our own. I've read a few guides and watched some videos, this site has been helpful so far. Excuse all my nooby questions over the next short while lol

Well I'm far from being a rookie grower but i am new here so might as well come through here nd let it be know.
