cheapo little water pump - Paid actual $20
Free airstones/air pumps/fish tank heater I just happened to find abandoned on the curb. - free free free
$10 under bed storage container
Rubbermaid resevoir - free had it for many years in the garage holding junk
One x-10 reveiver module and remote which I already had. - free

A bunch of random fans I went and grabbed at Goodwill Outlet including a bathroom fan to vent - $5 (bought fans by the pound)

Don't have flowering nutes yet.
1 bag of lava rock - $4.50 or so at lowes

16oz cups is what they all started in, some have been stripped of all dirt and repotted in straight lava. A few are just starting to show their sex so I'm waiting on all to show so I can clear it out and put what's left in the limited number of pots I can fit in that resevoir.

Oh and an old speaker from the garage as the table to hold the tray. - free

I received my seeds 2-13-09

And the results after this massive investment in time and energy is this clusterfuck:

Cool, yes about an hour and a half. Beaverton
Eugene is cool though, I grew up there.

I should warn you though that if you want to compete you aren't even seeing the tip of the iceberg here, there's lots more to come.
10,000 watts more...

As a matter of fact you may be able to come work for me 50/50 split, depending on finding a house. Delivery service, legal OMMP only, 100% legit, but if you wanted to grow you'd have to be able to buy your own house here.

Yes I already purchased 11kw of lights actually, but most are halides cause that was what was cheap. I'll have to use special bulbs (not conversion but flowering spectrum in some of them.) 11kw for $625 delivered. Including two cases of new Sylvania hps bulbs. Sweet eh?
I also bought 1kw hps ignitors for them all hoping to convert some to HPS, not sure that's going to work but the ignitors were cheap. I also found a cheap solution for my ebb and flow trays, got some huge IBC containers to pick up and then cut into 6 4x4 trays.

Oh and 2800w worth of 400w halides.

But I'm doing the biggest low budget grow ever. All used stuff and lots of duct tape and rubber bands to hold it all together. :)

And I won't even be able to run it all at the same time in this house. Have to run half at a time in the flowering room alternating 12/12.

Total to invest getting started is only $2000 though, and it's taken over a month to find stuff I could afford to pull this off so wish me luck.

Please don't everyone flood me with I want to work for you stuff. There are no jobs and no money yet. ASAP but not yet.

:hump: Uh huh :hump:

I just hope it's profitable enough here in oregon. Prices for z's are too low, which explains why I'll start a delivery service.

Whats up oregonmeds the plants are looking nice and healthy :weed: How are the plants adapting to the lava rocks? I was thinking of picking up a bag from lowe's and using it at the bottom of my containers to promote awesome drainage. It's very interesting to hear you are growing in straight lava rock.. I'll be following this one man +rep

Lots of folks use lava it's really not much different from hydroton, but just way way cheaper.

The problem with lava though is it's a bitch to rinse and clean when you first get it. So much lava dust it's rediclous... But at $4.50 for a bag, can't complain.

Most adapted instantly with no issue, The runts stopped growing for a while but these couple little plants sucked from day one so can't blame the lava, just sickly weak beans or something for those few.

It'll work well for drainage, but it's a bit overkill to say the least unless you're using large containers.

Where did you get all the 1ks that cheap. I have been looking for ballast kits and haven't found any. Im in the market for the exact same purchase you did. Thanks for checking my grow. Your budget grow(no room prep) has inspired me
