All help much needed!!!

[TheHaze]

Hi all. Iwant to grow 20 plants and basically would like someone to tell me what sort of space i am looking at needing, what is the best method, how much it will cost to get going, how much electric will i be using and how many crops should i be able to grow in a year. I have read countless books and have some knowledge all ready but would like some info and opinions straight from the horses mouth. That'll be you guys! Cheers

everyone will disagree, but if your looking to go cheep then get 1 or 2 cfls per plant, even low wattage ones work fine for me. but that will cut the energy bill down compared to using big MH or HPS. i know that teh MH or HPS would probably have a better yeild but clf is all around cheaper.

about space just go to the store and find a pot u like and do some messuring in your room u want to use.

i find it advantageous to use empty 2 -gallon milk jugs with the top removed for potting. they are squarish so more space thrifty. poke holes in bottom for drainage.

where do u get milk by the 2 gallon

[checkmark9]

but he sorta has a point about square pots being more space efficient

lol, checkmark that is exactly what I was thinking... I have never seen milk sold in a 2 gallon jug. Where do you buy that at burnable? Or was that a mistake?

don't fucking use milk jugs... those will expose the roots like fuck AND they can break really easily..

go to your local hydro store and buy drippers, pots, hydroton, rock wool cubes, nutrients, all that good stuff..

you will have your 20 plants budded in about 4 months if u do it rite..
if you stick with the dirt..

at the end of the 8 months it took to bud that, they would probably only be 10-15 plants left beccause of those damn milk jugss..
