Hey guys, I'm new here just signed up and I'm from 'sunny' old England. I've read quite a few really good tutorials (On this site) but I just want to ask a quick question.
Is it possible to grow a 2-3 plants in a cupboard on a small budget?
I'll try and explain myself a bit better, 'Newbie' isn't a strong enough word for me in the growing sense, smoked a fair bit over my life
. So I'm wondering I only want to grow a couple of plants in a cupboard. I don't really want to spend money apart from the basic (I understand I need to spend money on Lights etc).
I know you get these questions ALL the time but any tips for me on a couple of plants on a nothing budget for some average green?
Cheers

Ive been surfing this site for a while now. Finally decided to register. Im absorbing all this info like a sponge, im starting a grow when i move in with my gf this april. She's an aspiring geneticist and is strangely cool with the idea of growing (and making new strains and crosses) I study theology and philosophy so there is my motivation to grow. well see you all around i guess

Been snooping around and learning for awile now so I thought I would say hey. Found a plant in my yard while cutting the grass just a little thing but it's female so I dug her up and moved her in. Got a GH Waterfarm from a bud and transplanted again (I know but I am a noob) but she is growing. Only 14 to 16" but all bud and under a 400wHPS and Flora Series Nutes. Decided to try a grow got 8 plants (from bag weed) under FL with homemade drip system(got to love youtube LOL). Planning on taking two clones from each then moving to flower. Figured I would destroy the males along with thier clones. If I can come up with the $$ was thinking on the 8 site waterfarm for my flowering room or might just make a flood and drain system if $$ is tight. Also have a 150W mh not sure what to do with, really not sure of anything just flying by the seat of my pants. Well time to spark one so Thanks for everything I have already learned here and any help I may recieve.
BTW any thoughts on the waterfarm system??

Hey ya`ll!! I`m a first time grower and new to this site!! I got a really good bag and decided to see if they would germinate. They did and I kept the 8 strongest looking ones after 2 weeks. I`m growing in a closet in soil. They are about a month old now and one is looking mighty fine.....about 8 inches tall and very bushy......its worked its way from 3 to 9 leaves......the other ones arent doing as well but are growing nicely. Unfortunately I only have one space and cant make another so when I flower them and see the males can I just dry the males straightaway? I plan on using them for butter.

Hey Im a Newbie working on stating my first indoor grow. I have setup from HTG and have been practicing with my bagseeds. As I am sick of Dirt weed I am going to ty for my own. I have been very successful in the germinating department and I am moving to the 1st soil medium. I am located a bit in the country and I have limited access to any hydro stores or large nurseries. I have a few questions. I am wondering if anyone has had any luck with any soil mediums from wal-mart, kmart, lowes or home depot. I also have a bag of worm castings and coco coir that came with my kit. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I have some WW and Alaskian Ice on the way so I want to make sure I have a suitable soil for them to grow in. Also the co I bought my system from sent Monkey Juice Nuiets and I want to know when to start with those.
4 babies in the dirt today....hoping they pop their little heads out and say HIGH!!!!

It helps to put a 'Dome' over them until they do, take it off a time or two to get fresh air in and remove it after the get up a couple inches. You can get 'medium' from anywhere, more of them are carrying 'soilless' products now. In his book, Marijuana Buds for Less, SeeMoreBuds used Miracle Grow, just added water properly, no nutes. You would want to read some journals, many different ideas. VV
That is likely a block of rockwool and you will need to put it in your system. You need to have them on a flowering light schedule, 12 hours of darkness, they will double and possibly triple in size during the first four weeks or so of flowering, you are looking at plants that will be about 5' tall. You need a plan quickly, read some journals. Give us some idea of what you think you want to do? VV
The Water Farm, drip hydro system should run maybe 3 to 5 times a day using the Hydroton, never water with lights off. VV
Hey hi, kittie, You can, they will produce some, not much. Sound like you have a good start, welcome to our group. VV
Welcome loco, The price I show for the 8 station water farm is $300.00. If that includes everything you need including the medium, it might not be too bad. The controller unit would be hard to duplicate, and pre-made units have some things engineered into them that homemade systems don't have. They do have flexability for moving plants in and out of the system, it will be harder than it looks. I made some flood and drain tables and I bought a few flood trays that I built tables for, the 3' by 3' table could be made for around that same price by the time you get pots and medium. VV
Welcome, smoker, lots of time to get ready. VV

Thank you so much for the welcome. It is much appreciated. I will try to start a grow journal as soon as I see some action. lol. So using the Coco Coir I don't need to use any soil. Can it be mixed or is that unexceptable. I love my worm castings and wanted to use those too.
Hey everyone. I'm on my first grow with my homemade aero/dwc setup. Bad news today though. 3 out of 4 of my well taken care of plants turned out to be male. All that hard work, wasted. Sorry to bitch, no one knows about my little grow show and I needed to vent. Thanks for listening, I feel better now.

Well so...now that you have vented, make some use of the males. What are they good for......cloning practice. You don't care if they make it or not, your just doing it for practice. I always tear them apart and look at the root system as well. VV
