Oh, also wanted to put how I just calculated how much electricity I'm using.

Looking at my electricity rates and what I'm doing with lights this time, for a total grow I'm paying less than $20 for lights I think. As I'm not needing any extra fans, cooling, etc over what I already have (fan going in the same room most of the time, so closet doors open often for air circulation), it's really cheap. That's with 4 40watt fluros during veg (yeah, not enough IMO for what we had going, but it was a start grow with limited funds! next time, it'll be less plants with the same amount of light so should be even better results). Flower is 10 23w CFLS.

So far, I THINK I've only used about $9.51 for lighting since we started nearly 2 months ago. For a while, though, the plants were outside so that did help SOME with the lights. But from here out, I should use another $9.56 if it's 6 more weeks, or $12.75 for 8 more weeks. We're 2 weeks into flower so far... So at most I'm GUESSING it's $23 in electricity for the plants.

CHEAP. If I stay with the same nutes (likely wont, but if) I won't need more for another 4-5 grows at least!

All I'll need is to get more soil each time (depending on the type I get, could be cheap or could be not so cheap... About $24 for what I got this time)... And containers. I think we'll try for 1 gallon ones next time with a better SOG method with small plants put into 12/12 very quickly - about 2 weeks after breaking from seed. Just to see. We have enough 2 gallons in case we veg longer with less plants. All depends on the number of plants, mostly.


As for genders, tonight's thoughts in next post to keep things organized for me.
