Hey all,
First before i get going i would like to thank all of the people here on the board. Without all the reading Ive done of your fantastic posts the setup i am running would have been hurting for certain. In fact i feel like i owe you people a lot cause this first grow i am really happy about. Not just for finally getting a time to grow the herb, but also because it looks like a good possibility i will get some bud. Without all of you trust me this wouldn't have been possible. So thanks, and (**passes bowl**):rastasmoke:
Ok, now lets go for some fun as i describe the setup i have built. Keep in mind this has been done on minimal $$ by choice, not by requirement. I couldn't see myself spending huge money for my 1st grow. Maybe later will come the real stuff but for now here is what i got::thumbsup:
1 nice big bag of plain soil (think fox farm).(~7$) No nutes cause i know it can fuck things up.
1 decent sized bag of perlite (<8$) (so pissed this stuff has nutes in it. But i am gonna try and flush them out or dramatically reduce there level before the grow.)(if anyone has some ideas on how to do this let me know, i am open to anything i was thinking just flushing it with water several times over) (***so many plants/supplies at home depot but one thing i have always noticed is there complete lack of soil drain products like perlite. Every time i have bought some they have to get up on a ladder to get it/search.**)
4 14? diameter growing buckets (one for each plant, doubt i will transplant) (<2$ each)
1 Spray bottle for watering (3$)
1 really cool spray bottle with a pump on top (this thing is pimp:pimp: 6$ at home depot)
Ok now for lighting here is where i get iffy. After reading a bunch and considering my options i went with this. Please do not laugh but your opinions on this are welcome. Do you think it will be enough?
1 Big light fixture **** This came with a bulb. I didn't realize it when i bought it. Its a 150 MV light. Are these any good for growing?????????????????????****($25)
1 70 watt hps bulb **** The fixture can fit this, so thats what i got. I wanted to do a 150 but that would require me spending some serious green to get a fixture to go with it. I thought about making my own, i am fairly good at building stuff, but i lacked the material list when i was at the store. This could still be an option depending on how much feedback i get.****($14)
I also have 2 lights that i plan on using. One is an average shop light which i wanna put a 150 CFL in it. All i gotta do is buy the bulb. I also have another light that i could do the same with.
Seeds are already germed and awaiting to be planted. There are from some superb bag seed. Also my roomie is giving me a nice female clone. He is also hooking me up with a timer and some really sweet mylar (the good stuff he grows hydro) bought it from the net, and is giving me some off the roll.
;)
Thanks,
Hawk.
