Hi guys
Me and my mate are gonna grow some northern lights as soon as possible indoors, we were wondering, what lights and products are recommended and that can be bought at shops like B&Q and homebase.
Like lights and fans and things that would generally help, his mums kl with it all we just need equipment at reasonable prices like cheap basically we dont have much money and want to use our money wisely,
so those growers in the uk can u help me out,just a few recommendations of products
Thanks
www.growell.co.uk B@Q sell shit...........shit, trust me.
hey there Nocturnal Stoner glad ur about to take up the most enjoyable and rewardin hobbie there is:thumbsup: .. as some1 else just mentioned www.growell.co.uk is a very very good shop for all ur hydrophonic needs.. ur lights ur soil ur ferts ph testers grow tents carbon filters i could go on all day great shop.. but some may say its a little pricey.. but i feel i get value for money and there stuff is all top notch.. they even deliver to you.. i mean i got a 400 watt hps from growell for £85 which i think is quite resonable they even have floresents for £20.. but if money is tight if u looked around u could probly buy for a l;itle cheaper .. a 250 watt hps is great for beginners... but i mean u could get a 250-400 hps soil and pots for say £100 and u could keep the grow basic as u can.. or u could buy cheap soil cheap floresents and get goin for say £30.. i have seen pretty good results with floros .. but in my opinion if ur gonna do somethin which is illegal and risk gettin busted u may aswell buy a 250-400 hps becouse ur plants will benift from the light and ur results harvest will be much more rewardin.. anyways hope i helped u out m8.. but ye if u have the money growells will sort out ur every need.. 1 stop shop baby:rasta: anyway anymore questions just ask away peace brotherQuote:

just another bit of advice, i know a lot of people on here use flouros, but in my opinion they are just noy worth the hastle if total secrecy isnt an issue.
ive grown with flouros before and in my opinion its just not worth the hastle of adjusting them and wiring them all up, and by the time you purchase enough bulbs and spend a few hours putting it all together to get satisfactory results, you would have spent enough money and labour to buy a good hps system anyway, which you simply plug and play.
im not saying it cant be done with flouros, but the end result speaks for itself.
400whps, 6 plants, 14ish days into flowering
lol i was the one who mentioned that place and yeah there A+ fantastic!!Quote:

In three minutes, for about $5 or $10 (not counting bulbs), you can have the 'wiring' done for 8, 12, 16 bulbs, whatever you want. That ain't much hassle. If you don't have 3 minutes to devote to the task, you probably don't have enough time to grow anything anyway. It took me longer to install my HPS light than it did eight CFLs.
