Hello everyone, some people might know who I am, usually quiet and roam these forums more than I post. I read a good deal of info from all the experts here who helped others and watched 4 different videos on how to grow, so I'm pretty ready. My budget on this grow set-up is around $600-700USD. Below is the set-up I'm striving to go for that was inspired by the "I Grow Chronic" video(recommended). I'm going for how he had it set-up except with the hydro part, going to use soil first round. I just made the picture below to give you guys a visual of how this is going to be set up. The red lines/wavy lines represents the light proof plastic walls that I'll be hanging up. The silver lines represent where the mylar will be placed, will probably cover more area with it. I believe the rest is self-explanatory. The plan is to get 10 female seeds of the strain grapefruit and keep a mother with the best genetics. I will than keep this mother alive for as long as possible grabbing clones from it every so often to keep a coninuous cycle going. The rest that will germinate will just be flowered, around 6-8 plants while the mother stays in the veg room. I'm wondering what you guys would recommend for floro lights for that veg room for the mother and seedlings. And also I'm thinking of going with a 1000watt HPS light system for the flower room, any recommendations? The next thing is the soil, I wanna go organic and heard great things about foxfarm. How much soil will I need for the first run at growing 7-9 plants? What all do I need for nutrients, and what brand do you recommend? Also with the foxfarm soil, should I buy perlite and mix it in, or is that already mixed in the ingredients? Don't count the 2x4 frame I'm going to make into the $600-700 budgets as I'm going to try to get some from free from friends. Do you guys believe I can achieve this set-up with the $600-700 budgets including everything from the lights to timers? If anyone doesnt believe so I would really appreciate and educated guess on the total amount of $ that is needed to pull this set-up out. Thank you to everyone who read this whole, post, probably the longest I've written!
