Growing Information is what you want?
Here's a way that will cost you $20 but is most informative. Buy this book "The Cannabis Grow Bible By Greeg Green" at barnes&noble or borders or books a million. The book can be seen here www.cannabisbook.com
The free way is not nearly as informative but.....it's free. www.growchronic.com
Good luck to you. Remember if you want serious cannabis plants YOU have to be serious about doing it.

I forgot to add I spent over $2,000.00 dollars on grow equipment and ganden materials but I'M serious about it. You can grow for less than $50 bucks but your weed is only as good as what you put into it.

-Hand Made Grow Box Or Empty Closet
- Mylar Or White Paint
- Nursery Pots
- Thermometer
- Humidity Meter (Optional But Recommended)
- Grow Light (Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium Or Dare I Say It Fluros.....God that made me cringe)
- Cooling Fan
- Soil
Thats the basics and I mean REAL basics.
If you wanna see what kinda equipment I use go to www.bghydro.com

Depends on what strain you grow and how powerful your light system is. Thats a question alot of people ask but no one can awnser for you. With a high yeilding plant like K2 if you use a 1000watt HPS light you can get between one and two pounds. But thats if you have nice equipment. You may get anywhere from 15 to 30 grams if your doing it on the cheap. Light is the most important thing. It makes all the difference. But its not the only important thing. If you got the cash I can help you get started grow good plants because I've got a system here for sale. http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=40336 That there is a typical light setup.

No. That is what the ballast is for. It will increase a little but not by much at all. Maybe $10 to $15 more dollars a month. That is what most growers use.

It should cost you a total of $200. $180 for the light systen and $20 for the shipping costs to maine from where I live. I swear to god when your plants are ready for harvest you'll thank me for it. HPS light systems will give you 10 times more bud than a fluro can easy. Probaly more. If you had some of the shit I smoke you would certainly agree.

Fox Farm Ocean Organic Soil
www.foxfarm.com but thats expensive and you can't get that from home depot! lol
You can use anything that is N 20/P 20/K 20. It will be listed on that back of the soil bag. N stands for Nitrogen P stands for Pottasium and K stands for Potash. So your bag of soil should say 20-20-20 or close to thos numbers like 18-22-20. And for the love of christ don't use Miricle Gro. That shit sucks ass for cannabis.
