Setups?

[TheGardenMan]

I need a advice for a nice setup i wanna grow about 10 plants. What supplies would i need? (personal setups)

 

[crazy-mental]

1000 watt hps, fans, muck/or hydro, food. ph meter . the list goes on but it depends on what you want to do and how much you have to spend.
how are you planning to grow? soil/hydro big/sog?
how much do you have to spend.
more info.

soil....around 60 bucks.

hmm not too much If I were you I would just go buy a few cfl's def need a fan. your def gonna need about 1000 or more watts. Your also going to need nutrients depends on if you grow organic or use chemicals. Ph testing is a must so buy a ph tester you get get one at lowes or home depot for just a few bucks.(7 or so) That will get you started good luck! ph needs to be about 6.5 or so! in between 6 and 7

considering it's your first grow and with your budget...start with 3 plants at most. get used to it first.

cfl's? 1000 or more watts? wow.

a 400watt HID lamp will veg and flower 9 plants beautifully. 100-150usd

 

[TheGardenMan]

Is 3 27watt CFL's suffice? is that not alot of something.

 

[billybob88]

HAHAHAAHHAHA 3 27 watt cfls MAYBE will grow ONE plant MEDIOCRE. you need a 100 watts per plant. 60 bucks aint ganna get u shit. i just dropped 3 g's on my 12 plant setup

 

[mondaypurple]

$60 will get you a good amount of cfls...much more than 100 watts. And whoever 'drops 3 g's' on 12 plants is out of their mind.

 

[sk3tch3]

i bet the hydro man made him feel like the king of his block

 

[TheGardenMan]

Well i guess if the plants will either die or just grow but not produce anything than its wortheless to try growing with the lights i have.

 

[billybob88]

best lights, best hydroponics, best fans, best filters, best nutrients, best meters, best poly plastic, 4 50l bags of hydroton, 100 dollars of rockwool. yes it really is very easy to spend 3,000 dollars on a NICE setup. plus i can expand my system from 12 pots to 48 pots in an hour. so knock what ya what bro. ive got the best shit money can buy

 

[billybob88]

u can do it with cfls for sure. just get a bunch and try one plant for your frist try. not 10

 

[TheGardenMan]

Im not bring in that kind of money yet.

 

[TheGardenMan]

Im trying only 3....there 7 inches tall but only one set of leaves.

 

[billybob88]

im not trying to discourage you or anything. you just need to know what i takes to be able to grow this plant from start to finish. u CAN do it with 60 bucks ur just ganna have to be really resourceful.

 

[billybob88]

true that means they are stretching, you need more light, closer to the plants.

 

[TheGardenMan]

In my opinion there growing fairly fast for the lights they have.
