Low Budget?
That's what I got going on right now, I have 3 plants that I started from seeds that I had acquired, started them in the garage and had no idea of what I was doing at the time, so they got light during daytime hrs. from a four foot flour. tube ( I went and bought one of the $10 ones for growing and replaced one of the regular ones in the fixture over my work bench).
I started them in cotton balls in a clear Potato salad to go container, actually thinking the light might be good for the roots LOL, then transplanted them after they sprouted into 2 liter bottle bottoms, in some soil I found on sale at Walgreens, and now, at 16 weeks or so, have them in Miracle Grow soil in buckets and have been watering with tap water after I let it sit for at least 24 hrs., and using some MG all purpose fertilizer that I already had, (12-12-12 I think).
The tallest is about 46" tall, and the smallest is 2' tall.
