Help with First Indoor Grow.

[BUZz UK]

You don't quite understand the situation; We have NO money, lol.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

Yea no Dolla. What are we gonna go?

Can you just tell us, what should we do if we only have like £25 each to get lights and that. Can a plant not bud if you only got Fluorescent lights?

[WeedyBoyWonder]

Ok basicly the situation is:

We have very little money
We got some seeds, and are germenating them right now.
Once they sprout, basicly were fucked.
We have a grow room, all tinfoild up, and sorted read for growing.
We can get soil and pots, thats not an issue.
Just we got no lights... and not alot of money.
The seeds could sprout very soon, and we dont know what the fuck were gonna do.
We can afford any light that requires a balast we dont have that sort of money.
So basicly.. help us please.

My suggestion? Take your 25 pounds [pounds, right?] and buy CFLs.

Then, start washing cars, mowing lawns, walking dogs, etc... and gather up enough money to buy a HPS. From what I understand, you're going to get diddly-squat of flowers with CFLs.

BTW: Can't you save money by not buy any more weed? Hmm... No weed now, more weed later.

That sounds good for you guys... C'mon! Every morning, recite:
No weed now, more weed later!

I cant do no weed now. I have smoked a joint everyday for atleast the last 6 months. Bar about 5 to 10. For ovious reasons... not having weed now, i dont think i can do.

Mate, I didn't understand any of that but at Homebase you can get like two 100w CFLs and connections for like £16

mand wrote : The last crop I grew produced the most seeds I have ever had, two of the plants produced around a dozen seeds between them and I am absolutely positive that there were no male flowers anywhere, I may be wrong but I don't think so.
I think that may be a sign that someone else in your 'hood has a few boys around. Pollen is both wind and insect borne, so if there is a little boy plant anywhere in the area, nature will find a way...

and yeah, we love ya mand, i esp like your chicken/egg analogy :-), since our girls produce "eggs" as well ( but are called an Ovule in a plant ) http://www.zephyrus.co.uk/seedformation.html

Anyway, I digress... on the original lighting question, I went with a Tek-light High Output system, which seems to be doing a decent job, even tho is only 96 watts.The entire set up was about $170. I know its still over your stated budget now, weedboy, but using turtles advice, you can get a start.

any more advise... please?!

I have cfl's 4x45,,,400w MH 250 and 1000 w hps...the only option with 25 bucks is go to walmart and buy 2 45 watt cfl's and 2 light fixtures off the next aisle and wire it up...
If you can't do that, then forget growing, because these lights you might get 1/2-1 ounce in 4 months...and growing is alot of work, well maybe not for 1 plant, but if you want to be successful, you have to tend them everyday, Yes, I am trying to talk you out of growing...You don't have the time or money!

[WeedyBoyWonder]

Hell i certainly got the time. Time is not an issue. I do nothing, everyday. And love it, looking after what i love would make it alot better... i just dont have the £.
