first indoor grower, need help

**smokeythabear** · 07-06-2008, 11:04 AM

ok so i am going to attempt my first indor grow

I've attenpted an outdoor grow earlier but there is too many problems incountered so i'm going to try to find a secretive place in my house, and grow there.

i only plan to grow about 1 or two plants at a time and i have a low budget, so i cant be going out and buying $200 lamps and all this special nutrient shit, i just need a noobie guide to help me with it.

my space is going to be a little limited, probobly in a closet or someting.

so tell me the easy things to get on a low budget, and there will be one more happy grower in the world

i need to make a small set up with stuff i can find around my house, and like a cheap light or something

**smokeythabear** · 07-06-2008, 11:35 AM

what kind of light should i use if im just growing 1 plant..?

**nemad** · 07-06-2008, 11:39 AM

CFL would do fine .. for 1 plant would be great 2 40w CFLs

if youre broke than 2 20w should do the job.

Get some CFL's? they're cheap i think..

If not go on ebay and get an 125w envirolite, i think that'll be ok for 2 plants.

i got one off there and the lead aswell for about £25

so my plan,

1. germing..duh

2. place into one of my growing mediums (cup with holes in the bottom) so that its pretty easy during sprouting

3. once it starts to veg and get big for the cup, im going to transfer it into its new growing pot, the large one which it will stay until flowing. And im going to transfer it during night for the least shock.

4. maintain it by watering it whenever needed and keeping it on a 18/6 light cycle. and im going to feed it miracle gro plant food once it has about 5 nodes or so, but only small doses because i dont want to over feed it. but gradually i will increase it a little during veg stage.

5. once its about to flower im going to pull off the fertilizer and give it straight water during flower stage, and at this time its on a 12/12 cycle.

6. wait until the pistils are about half ripened and ill harvest around then. (im not that great of knowing when to harvest, so if anyone has any harvesting tips, i will love you)

7. to harvest im going to cut off the leaves with the bud on them and keep them in a ziplock bag in a dark closet for a few days, will remove once dry.

8.

if my plan needs any revising please help
