well cell54 u sound lyk u know what ur doing

I'm growing 4 plants right now with 80w total from (2) 15w 15"in fl tubes, and (2) 25w full spectrum cfl bulbs.. i'm doin just fine

as funny as it seems, weed really doesnt need all that much care, they learn to adapt (1).. they're alot like humans, even the male plants got ballsacks, cmon!

alot of ppl kill their plants by tending to them too much, over fertilizing, over watering, etc, cus they'll swear its not perfect yet lol.. TRUST ME when i say this, I'm DEfiniteLY one of them, so i'm tellin u from experience..

I got my plants growin in a small 18" high bin, a regular storage bin u can find at walmart.. the lights total were lyk $30.. I also got liquid nutrients which were total $80, to boost my plants, as compensation for the rather weak lighting..

My plants will be fine with these for a few weeks.. I ordered some special bulbs on the way, totalling $50, i'm expectin to see some new changes.. I'll keep u updated.. If you wanna see how my plants are doin, check out my Back On Track post..


put ur seeds in a paper towel, wet the paper towel up til it holds water (not ALOT, jus make it damp, but enough that a few drops can collect in this or that corner, ya kno?) place it in a ziplock, and wrap the ziplic in a shirt, and place it pretty close to a heater.. test it out... the paper towel should be warmer than warm water, and colder than a hot shower.. pretty much guaranteed results.. my seeds shot out a quarter inch root with in a day..

start ur plants in regular soil with nothing added, u can get a big bag at walmart for $1.. flip the fluros on and check it out...

u should draw out plans, lyk home-made hydroponic systems, if u check out my set up, u'll see what i'm talkin about.. the vets on here buy all these big ballasts n stuff, but there's more than 1 way to skin a cat.. But do consider the light affects potency.. Its recommended u invest into it, but u dont have to.. But as the saying goes, "you get wat you pay for.." do wat you need to do to get by..
