just joined the forum today. started my first grow about 21 days ago. i know there is an introduction section to the forums, but this area clearly recieves the most traffic, and i wanted as many people as possible to reply. criticism is welcomed and appreciated.
back story - i've been wanting to grow my own weed since i was like 14-15, when i first started smoking. finally the day has come where im in the positio to do so, so i went for it. my total setup cost was about 350$ (100$ of that went to shipping costs alone, cause apparently NJ has like 1 hydroponic store, and it didnt have everything i needed)
ok so...
lighting:
clone area - (2) 23W cfl
production area - (1) 105W cfl and (4) 23W cfl's
i removed my range hood over my stove and mounted the 105W, and (4) 23W on it, free reflector+exhast fan...i was proud of myself when i thought of this lol
medium : rapid rooter plugs, rockwool 3x3x2, and hydroton
basically a deep water culture system using 5gal buckets
im working on getting some norther lights and purple haze clones from my wifes uncle(he grows too). but for now the 2 plants i have growing are from a bag of dirt weed i had lying around. figured i'd give them a go
check it out and tell me what you think
