Hi ChrisIndica

I tried for a couple of days to reply here on this post....but alas this site is lacking tuning.:wtf:
That is, many times the posts will not show up.

This is an ideal example of knowledge is money.

I've been looking into a complete hydro system cabinet.
Includes everything.
The price is about $2000.00!
Granted, it IS complete...but soooo much $$$$.

I have super white haze seeds for my first grow now but hesitate dropping one into a pot w/o any grow lights, etc. in the meantime while I stay poor.

What you did for another is quite generous of you.

The LEDs are very...VERY expensive and so I assume the $70.00 does not include the LED?
If one is able to spend alot for LED grow lights then the running cost is drastically reduced.
I have used LEDs for my Deco lamp and glass displays and they are great.
They are not hot and use so very little electricity they can be lit anywhere without concern.

Anyways.

I should have some money available in a couple of weeks so I am seriously getting down to bizzness so I too can get growing and going.

I would more than ever appreciate your help if you are inclined to.

The seeds I got are stated to flower in 6-8 weeks to harvest in 8 to 10.

I'm fairly well versed on the overall but am clueless about the nutes and details like start and pot replants add whatever else.

I've read thru many reads on beginner grows and such but the infomation and particularly the steps all in all become a haze of confusion.
That is to say the overall picture is lacking terribly.

Like most any learning curve there are phases to go thru and in short time everything becomes simplier and clearer.
But until such time I cannot afford to ruin the whole grow as a learning experience.
Realize there will be blunders and I expect such.

I've learned alot and yet my thoughts are I learned pretty much little to nothing.
And I really don't want to read off of step by step by page instructions.
I know me and I would be buried in quagmire going step by step by step over and over until my brain will take in the all if it all.

Light is a 90w LED light??? I've only heard of these before but never in operation before. I'm really excited about this b/c it's supposed to have the same output as a 600w HID HPS light, use 1/8th of the energy, very little heat, last 10x longer, and b/c it uses only the two spectrums of light that the MJ plant absorbs at optimum wavelengths red and blue, glows purple and grows purple buds.


Going with foxfarm brand of liquid ferts with one soluble. I like them b/c they have charts available with a soil AND hydro schedule of amounts to feed per gallon. Grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, and cha ching. Cha ching is a product unlike any other I have ever seen in that it's an essential oil promoter. You know that nice aroma and taste that the herb has? those are called terpins, or essential oils. Well this product in addition to making the buds really dense, makes the productions of those terpins go crazy. make it very pungent and stinky! in the last couple weeks is when u really notice the difference. I also like the general hydroponics system for it's ease of use. In my experiences; using chemical based nutes over organic promotes a harsher smoke, even when leeched properly.

Overall should be a very nice setup and with proper care and maintenence, provide all the medicine she needs to help with her condition.
