Awesome grow bro. Those look like some happy girls..
Kpw555 .... How about this :
(1) five gallon bucket for making organic fertilizer tea - (free) - handle was broken off - found next to a dumpster....
(1) one air pump / tubing / air stone - I left the rest of the aquarium -(free) curb score - trash day - found on my way to work...... for mixing / oxygenating my organic fertilizer teas.....
(1) large wooden stirring spoon - (free) curb score - trash day - found on my way home from work ( it's an old broken boat paddle )
(5) pounds of bunny poop every other week - (free) kid next doors pet rabbit byproduct.....
(2) compost barrels full of goodies - (free) grass clippings, left over veggie food waste, coffee grounds (free from starbucks), old grow soil, oak tree leaves...etc....
(10) pounds of worm castings.... every 45 days - from my homemade worm bin (materials to build it - free - from construction site dumpsters ) - worms are fed with yard waste, kitchen veggie waste, old newpaper & bunny poop
Light source - the Sun - (free) until the government starts taxing it too.
Growing medium - forrest soil - enhanced with goodies listed above......
Two items - actually bought - Super Plant Tonic (ebay) root inoculant (good bacteria & mcyo fungi) cost $ 7.50 & High N / High P Bat Guano Pack cost $ 8.50 - total cost $ 16

Enclosures could easily be scrounged. If you dont have a top shelf in your closet, take two washing machine cardboard boxes, and cut them open. Fashion yourself a nice large growbox, and line the inside with potato chip bags. Bam. instant growbox.I wonder what is the lowest cost a guy could get by with and grow good herb?
2- 4' shop lights $7 ea
1- Bag of soil $5
1- sack miracle grow $6
1- small fan $8
Enclosure for light tightness could be scrounged.
I think $26 could provide weed in the right place.
Outdoors, chuck and run = free.
try that black plastic they put under mulch to keep weeds from growing, im pretty sure thats shits light proof. good luck finding it in december though... i use heavy trash bags for the door to my flower room, just make sure you get really thick ones or light will get through.Hurray for cardboard!
I need a good black lightproof material, I wonder how hard it would be to cover a space that is 12 feet by about 10 feet by about 9 feet tall. I was going to use pond liner.
Anyone know of a cheap white poly film? With trash bags and some white poly I won't have to buy panda film. I already have the mylar for the places that need it.
Cardboard should work fine if the humidity isn't too high. And fire is always a threat using cardboard so be careful in the installation.Yeah, I'm at a loss at this part of the globe for finding gardening supplies without driving to a specialty grow shop.
I was thinking black and white trashbags kinda like panda film on the cheap. I already have cheap mylar.
Maybe I'll just spray paint some card board. Rattle cans are kinda cheap, flat white and matte black would work good.
