Well my journey started in a rather laughable matter.
Had went to my buddys house grabbed an ounce and mentioned now that I was legal I was thinking about starting a couple plants. Few minutes later he's got 4 seeds & some solo cups and goes have at it.
Overly excited and oblivious, I proceed to germinate (dec 1st)
December 7th rolls around all 4 have cracked and proceeded to get a few inchs long so I planted them, now here's where the laughable part begins. I did zero research aside of a quick Google search for a 'grow light' lone and behold Lowe's has an led full spectrum for 63$ so I think well that'll be a good start till they get bigger. Get it home & set up , bring my overly excited ass back up stairs and decided to do further research (little late lol) & ended up coming across this forum and quickly realized I fucked up , cause this little 19W '85w' replacement was useless and of course the child had mutilated the receipt by the time I had came to this realization. Fast forward to dec 19th I go to my local hydroponic store picked up some good soil ( had previously used old potter soil, Yes another laughable mistake ) and some ak 47 auto seeds. Started germinating two of those proceeded to do further research on lights and prices while having a couple household cfls on them in the meantime.
Dec 21st comes along he hooks me up with a 400w hps setup with magnetic ballast for 175 tax included. Beat the brakes off the online prices i had been seeing and no shipping so quickly snatched that up and got it hooked up. Babies are thriving now and I'm back to being overly excited and probably in line for a few more laughable mistakes.
Anyways thanks for reading that eye full hope I've given you a few laughs. once I discover how to post pics I'll update the before and after setup which will add to the humour
