Default first time grower..EVER!!...bag seed...pics...tight budget!!
so here i am starting my very first ever grow journal!!! yay im excited! anyways lets get to the point....

-12 bag seeds
-12 plant pots
-1 fluor. light(aquarium hood)
-1 fluor. plant&aquarium light(aquarium hood)
-1 lazyboy recliner box
-clear plastic
-white duct tape
-sliver lining(emergency blankets)
-maxigrow nutes
-potting soil
-pea gravel
-outdoor thermometer

alright so i know that some of this shit is ghetto as all get out but who cares im seeing how cheap i can possibly do this. next grow will be hydro. anyways ill post some pictures up and you will see what i started with. realized that box wasnt going to cut it for me. so i went to the local home furnishing store and snagged a lazyboy box.(49x47x53) taped the nessisary to the sides and bottom of the box. its just bag seed and i know that but im runin 12 cuz i know that not all of them are going to be fems so well see im hopin for atlest 4-5 fems out of this but well see. alright well all and all i spent about 30 bucks on this whole thing and i still need to get some bloom shit if i make it that far but im not going to buy it if i dont get these plants there in that stage. anyways comments advice anything is welcom.

plz excuse grammer and spelling im tired as fuck and im high as hell! so ya there ya go

You can get much larger CFL at any hardware store cheap. You will need much more tight in even that small of an area.

Run 2 X 120 Watters and you will lke the results much better. More light equals more grams.

The sad truth is that you can never have too much light. As long as you can control the temperature in your box, put as much ight on them as possible.

If you box was only a little bit bigger you could fit some 4 foot T5 fixtures. You can pick them up for under $20 at the hardware store.

A small grow like this would love 6 40 watters. You can hang 3 2 bulb fixtures side by side and have a light bank eual to the commercial fixtures at a price of like $65 dollars.

That is the cheap way out. As much as it sucks it does take money to set up even a small grow.

Keep fighting the good fight and you will be fine.
