FIRST SERIOUS GROW

[MastaChronic]

hi all, welcome and thankyou for coming to this thread. this will be my first serious grow (the only other time i grew they got only 6", then i HAD to kill them:() i am n a very tight budget and i would greatly appreciate any and all help on the subject(s) i have been reading the forums and have read quite a bit on the subject but i find it better if the advice is directed at me
1. i need a stealthy grow cab big enough to grow 1-5 female Big Buds in
2. i was thinking about using blue and red spectrum (respectively) led lights for the veg and flower periods, how much would these run me and where could i pick them up?for cfls would i need seperate warm and cool spectrums?
3. could i make my own fertilizer? if so, what kind of fruits/veggies/organic matter should i use?
4. what size pots should i grow the plants in? i plan on only letting them get 55-60cm before throwing the flower power:rasta: on them
5. where can i buy some hydrogel?
6. how much will i be looking to spend on all the lights and ferts and nutes etc.?

How much can you spend? No don't make your own soil in my opinion untill you get an idea of how soil works. Why the Big Bud strain, it works the way it is supposed to under HID lighting so you may want to choos a strain that is being used by other folks using CFL's with good results. Lastly, read, read, read, oh did I say read?
Hope the best, but get that budget question answered an you may be able to get some answers that you can use.

Do you have any supplies right now? How old are you? Well try going to some construction sights in your areas, places where they are remoddling or demolitioning a building and allot of times the workers will give you the old lights that are going to be tossed. You can sometimes get HID's and allot, well most of the time T12 bulbs and fixtures.
If you are not in your own home and still live at home you may want to read the FAQ about growing in your parents home. No offence if you dont, just never know.

i might have a bunch of cfls and rubber maid boxes, if i can use the light from a brazier lamp for flowering then i have a flowering light. i dont have any nutes or ferts, still looking at those

I think Aurora would be perfect along with other one's unknown to me. I watched BlaqLight's grow with Aurora Indica and his turned out great only using compact flourescent lights. Remember, the more light you have the better and bigger buds.
