Simplicity, defined.

Cursed with a small grow space?
Very little cash for supplies?

Read on..

Been using this setup all year, on my fourth successful grow. Won't work for everyone, but i hate to see people spending way too much for simple growing like this. Hopefully some of you see some value in this post, (i know it's not for everyone).

Lights: Fixture/ballast $17.95
24" 40 watt flourescent bulbs (x2) $34.00 (Back in 2006)

Soil: Free (friends backyard soil)

Pot: $6.99 http://www.starnursery.com/show_details.php?root=10&sub1=108&product=1652

Timer: Free (friend gave it to me)

Aquaglobe: Free (friend gave me one when he bought his three pack)

Seeds: Free from friends or ordered online (up to you on your budget really).

Water: From the tap (very little $$)

(Comments/questions welcome, as i'm adding pics now)

Comments? I'm Listening.....

Those plants were germed and vegged and given to a friend, they were grown to about 2 and a half feet before turning all male : (

Normally it's 18/6 for me while vegging until they reach the desired height, (which has to be short for me due to small growspace).

Yields were between an eighth to a quarter for harvest, (just small amounts for personal use).

Getting close!

(They were yummy btw).

check out my thread if u wanna see how to grow on a budget. ive never used the tube flourecents, just the cfls. gotta love those homegrown nuggets tho.

Good thread, lots of hit, nice!

Bump (because the info is still relevant).

Quick question, do most head shops have what I would need to get started growing inside? I've found a couple of places, but I'm not sure if growing is their specialty.

Pretty sure you can find the lights, ballasts, pots, soil, and timer, at Home Depot like stores.
Perhaps a star nursery or local nursery can help too.
