Thoughts on my growing conditions?

There is the liquid organic choice MG which is basically molasses and beet extract, it comes in a 2 qt bottle I think, but itll last forever, only need about 2 tbls per gallon.

As far as GOOD cheap ferts, a bottle of big bloom will run you about $12 and last several, several, several grows with your current setup

Thanks for the heades up low_rdr I will be on the look out for the big bloom and get some just don't tell the wife I have already gone over budget. LOL Y'all have a great day and happy smoking!

There is one thing I've noticed with going over budget and the wife. As long as she's happy with the product, she doesn't care about the overall cost. I can't exactly express how large I've gotten on a grow scale, but my original intention was to spend less than $100 and yield an ounce per month.

I'm currently in the pounds per month category, and the expense has far surpassed anything I ever intended. At one point I spent $1k on new AC units, and JUST before install I heard of a motel that was upgrading, so I purchased 4 Panasonic S12NKU-1's which are 12k BTU AC units for $1200. The bad news is I now have enough cooling power to maintain almost 3000sqft of grow space, and i currently only have about 500sqft of growspace, so I'm looking for another deal on ballasts to expand again. I originally started off growing in very small soil containers (4 gallon flat's) and now each plant is in a 5 gallon hydro system, which equals out to almost a 20 gallon soil bucket, lol...

Does the wife complain about the budget anymore? No.... Just about the amount of time I spend with the girls. If she'd learn to prune and FIM I wouldn't need to!

Anyway, best of luck bro, and we're here when you need help

Your words ring very true to this old dogs ears. Unfortunatley she is of the non smoking community which is not a problem with the exception of the financial end of things. She said yes to growing my own so I dont have to hassle with going out to get it or driving with it as well as the expence of buying it. Hence the reason for going through the 1st round with what I have and the bagseeds. Then after that "I need to upgrade to make a better product for myself" I guess everyone works there jelly a little different depending on there circumstances. Been with the wife for 15 years and I ain't given her up. Thanks for your input low_rdr and trust me 2nd round the upgrades will be coming.
