Hey everyone. Im new on here. Ive never grown Before. Ive done alot of reading and am a quick learner. Ive got 10 free power skunk seeds from g13 labs on the way (if they get here) i ordered from the attitude seed bank. Just paid shipping and handling fees. I dont have much to get started on (less than 100 bucks) for lights, nutes and everything from start to finish. All i have here is homedepot and walmart for supplies. Intended for a 3ft x 2 1/2ft x 6 ft closet. when i get enough money i want to upgrade to a 400 watt Mh hps conversion and a dwc hydro setup. But i need somthing now. Can anyone give any suggestions.

100 buck essentials

pots/bags-20$
good soil mix-20$
CFL light fixtures + bulbs- 40$
Fan-10$
PH test drops + vinegar- 10$

theres ur budget, ur tapwater will be alkaline, give it some vinegar to lower the ph... start with at least 1 gallon pots since ur on a budget. buy as many cfls/fixtures, try the "y sockets" from home depot.

$10 fan

You still have $50 left to decide what to do with, I'd probably get some daylight CFL's to help even out the HPS during Veg or even get enough to use for Veg. Good Nutes are probably going to cost $40 though. and pots will be another $10 easy.

Good Luck

thanks guys. sorry for the late reply back. still no seeds yet though. changed place of grow. got plenty of room. 5 x 10 x 6ft tall. been pricing some stuff. how many plants can i grow with 2 or 3 double cfl fixtures? and any idea what kind of yield i can expect?

1 plant needs at least 4 of those cfl's, you could prob start veggin some with 4-6 of them though. id geuss 1 plant per bulb

hey man. still no seeds yet. you had good luck with attitude? question about that website you posted. they have some 400w psmh (hi bay or low bay) not sure which, for around 100 bucks. Is this the same as a hps? and if so would a mh conversion bulb fit in it. i think i can swing the price if this will work. ive found the stuff to make my own soil mix. pearilte peat moss and mushroom compost. havent found any fertilizer around here. no worm castings. there was some stuff at wal mart that had worm castings in a fertilizer. also a potting soil at wal mart tha had sphagnum peat moss pearlite lime for ph in it? any help would be appreciated.

your gonna be disappointed brother - its 5 power skunk seeds. The attitude only sends packs of 5 free seeds. Even if it saysin the description that your gettin 10 seeds, if theyre free its a 5 pack. Itll still come in the cool G13 breeder pack though - a plastic spliffy container

How much vinegar to add? Is there a standard unit of measure to drop it 1 points? Say from a pH of 7 to a pH of 6?
