budget

Hi all, Have been floating about on this forum for a while and have looked at a number of guides, but the info ive read has left me a bit confused about what type of LED light would be best for me. I Think Ive got most of the setup covered now but i am quite confused by all the different types...

This could be the cheapest "prosumer" setup to date. Prices included. I have a few grows under my belt and have assisted, so we should expect the grow to yield. I'm hoping this could be a template for others looking to go as cheap and "real" as you can. My day job is fancy machines, it lets me...

Hola, I'm doing a budget grow with some scotts hyponex soil, its got pearlite, peat moss, worm castings and composted materials. I'm using two 60W L.E.D's at the moment, i want to upgrade but money is something I don't have so I have to find a way to get some stronger lights for flowering...

Moved to a new apt and could not resist the dead space in the closet. Was on limited budget so equipment is not top of the line. Just wanted to get a feel for space and heat/sound. Summed up Details: 20" x 30" x 5' tent 300W Full Spectrum LED (cheap brand) 2 x 8" inline fans on controller 8"...

Hello everybody! :bigjoint: Long time since i have posted anything (that long that my old posts have got deleted :D ), but recently put my one lady on flowering stage and i think its kinda interesting and worth a post. If anyone remembers me (doubt it), i posted some outdoor grows from Northern...

I submit to you these questions: -Is a single LED panel (300 to 600w) sufficient to produce tight buds in a small grow? I might have been fed a load of crap about LED's and I can't afford a MH/HPS setup. -Do those DIY CFL/LED bulb racks+reflectors actually work? -What are the best (for the...

In my 2x2 I want to build the best I can for as small budget as possible. Would 2 Citizen 1818's at 1400ma yield anything worthy. On calculations at full capacity they hit 800ppfd and they're like 1 parr watt short of hitting 15 per square foot. When looking at all that it seems like it'll...

G'day! This is my very own, old-timey low-ish budget and semi-stealth grow using the crappiest of crappy cheepo chinese led's. Woot! So i did a few grows under very different circumstances several years ago with a 400w... then had an alarming "trust" issue and have missed it like long-lost...

Hi I'm a very long time member, but this is my first post. In this grow journal I'm going to show that Growing a pound is possible and cheap through knowledge. I've been vegging a 00 seeds bubble for 2 1/2 months on Walmart basic nutrients for 24hrs. I'm running a 2x4x6 with 525 watts of cfl...

Day 35: Upgraded my tiny grow box to a 4x4x6ft grow tent. New 400w fan cooled led is on its way! All My Darth Vader OG plants are looking fantastic all six have been topped and two are low stress training. Haven't been using any nutes, still a little confused on nutes with Fox farms ocean...

Hello! I am glad to finally make a post here, I love this forum! I have a bunch of questions as I have never grown anything before, but I have done some research. I just want to thank those who read and reply, seriously! Thank you for any input, advice, and criticism :) My goal is to grow...

Hello peeps, I'll try to keep it short - I have the opportunity to start up a grow with a friend. We're on a budget, so I found someone who's getting rid of some equipment for a good price. They want $60 each for newish 750w lumatek ballasts with XXL hood. They have 6, so that would be $360...

Hi guys, I've been lurking all week and finally decided that, while I'm learning loads from hovering in the forums, I'll get much more helpful, specific advice if just sign up and show you what I'm working with. I'd really appreciate any advice cos we're first timers on a major budget. So, while...
