i just bought 15 white widow max seeds.
and i also got 5 afghan seeds,,
i will start germination as soon as i recieve them..
im really new to this indoor growing thing.
im just a daily smoker who said fuck it im tired of driving around town were pigs are always pulling over people for random reasons.. so i decided to start growing my own shit.. i will start growing maybe 5 seeds at a time,,, i get the general idea of growing.. i also bought fox farm ocean forest potting soil,, i also bought xtreme rockwool cubes.. i got 1 inch cubes.. and i also got 3 inch cubes with 1 inch holes... and i think the only thing im missing is the lights...

"does anyone know any good light setups to grow 5 seeds??? right now my budget for a light set up is around 60$$.."
i would appreciate any advice from u guys!
thanks...

Save up and do it properly, you'll end up with better results than a botched grow room..

umm for your flowerring size depends on your strain how early you flower and how many your growing and for veg if you plan on goin expensive your going to want a MH lamp and about 10,000 lumens per sq. ft.

$60 is not gonna buy what you need, unless you get lucky and buy somebody's old equipment on Ebay.

My advice, take your $60 and buy some good reading material on how to grow plants indoors.
When growing indoors, environment is everything. Your trying to mimic your grow room as if they were outside.
You need good quality light.
You need excellent quality air
You need humidity
You need CO2, at least 400 PPm's of atomspheric.

If your going to grow in poor conditions, then you should of bought seeds that are susceptible to poor growing conditions.

The seeds you purchased are going to need a pristine growing environment.
