Why no nutes? They'll grow with just water, nutes really help you out in the long run.

How big is your closet and how many plants are you planning on growing? I'd say you need at least 80 watts per a plant to get a decent pull.

my closet is 4 wide 6 1/2 tall and 3 1/2 feet deep...i was planning on just doing two plants for this time since its my first real grow attempt...and why wouldnt you be able to grow without nutes i mean the plants been here on earth for ever and im sure there were no nutes helping it grow.im not tryin to be rude but anything can grow with just some water.and very close attention.i just dont want the nutes im a naturalist thats why if you were wondering..i mean i am doing indoor just cuz its to frigid out to do outdoor.

Plants outdoors get nutes naturally from other plants and animals. When you isolate soil in a container it doesnt have anyway to replenish the nutrients so thats why you should add some. You can still be a naturalist just use organic nutes or make a compost bin and use compost in a soil mix.

i got a compost bin so i could just use that and mix into my pots.im already there when it comes to that..any suggestion on organic nutes...can i use just a very little bit of the nutes? im just experimenting with things untill i find a method that works for me and then ill run with that method.

I wasn't doubting you, or saying anything like that. I was just somewhat asking if that was possible ( i am very new to growing ANYTHING) haha. sorry for confusion

no offense taken...i was just thinking anything is possible maybe i actually do need nutes...i had an outdoor veggy garden this year it turned out really really good with just water and sunlight but i was wondering is that cuz it was just veggys now so maybe i should reasearch into some nutes and see what i can find out....i really just want it to be as natural as possible...
