This sounds good, I am new to this whole thing-waitin on seeds from Nirvana as we speak/type-I've got a DWC w/a 3 gallon reservoir and some CFL's right now. Found a good deal on Digital 250W ballast, bulbs, timer, hangers etc for $100, think I should invest the money? The reservoir has cut-outs for 6 plants but I wasnt planning on that many w/the CFL's. If I go w/ the 250W how many would you suggest I try to get going?

You get what you pay for. If you think you're going to want something bigger in the near future, I'd hold off on getting a 250W. But that's just me.

It's a 20 dollar budget to grow decent bud with a decent yield. How large can one plant get in a fucking shoe box? 9"? I think you just lost, actually. The sad thing is, there wasn't a competition...

UPDATE: I have a plant growing in one now. Looks like it is thriving compared to my other plants. I think I like this system. I will be building a bunch of pods.

So for 16 bucks, you managed to commit a felony and all for what? Enought to smoke through the weekend?

Not worth the effort or risk.

I could do alot of things with 20 bucks, but that doesn't mean any of them are worth it.
