Growing your own is not cheap. If it was? ..everybody would do it. :pimp:

no, never party cups through the whole grow. Jees! Three weeks as mentioned. fuck the big block stores. fuck them all. bog damn it!

shovel, you should work on your shy personality.

If you are worried about heat florescent lights will work just fine. Yield may not be what it would be under a HPS. They are also easier on the electric bill. I use a pair of T5 four bulb 2' fixtures with 6500K bulbs for vegging with excellent results. I just ordered 8 3000k lights for summer time flowering. The HPS light is way too hot for summer time where I live - in winter it helps heat the house. If my experiment goes well I may just use the T5's year round and save a few bucks on the electric bill. If I get some time tomorrow I'll post a few pics of some young plants I have under one of the T5 veg lights. At four weeks since cloning they are very bushy and about 1' high - and of course very beautiful. They show no signs of 'reaching' for light - the T5 lights supply all the light they need.

At any rate any light system is going to be a large part of your cash layout to grow good bud. Cheap lights = cheap yield.

yea i figured i would spend most of my money on the lighting system but i have seen some sexy ladys grown under cfl and produced 4 to 5 ounces off of each plant... it all how it set up i think but i did plan on upgrading my light system just dont know when i will.... i think i will after my first grow.. right now im jus making sure i know how to do it an grow some nice bud before i spring for all the big buck stuff.

So its day six an these are looking so nice... i love the thrill i am getting out of this an cant wait to see if i will have nice grow here are some pics... Attachment 291386Attachment 291387Attachment 291388Attachment 291389

As promised - my three 'mother' plants. One cheddar cheese - one purple cush - and one white widow. These came out of 18oz cups this morning. They were cloned just before the plants in the grow tent went under 12/12 lights (HPS). These are about 12-14" long after 3 weeks. I'll take clones from these when they get another foot or so tall then these will go under a 12/12 T5 3000k bulbs.

This last picture is a shot of my grow tent taken this morning. There are some burnt leaves from the HPS light. I call them my 'Icarus' girls.
