I'll get straight to the point. I don't have any $$$.:sad: I have a 100 watt CFL (actual wattage, not equivalent), very little space to grow, and Diesel Ryder seeds.

I have been trying to come up with a super cheap grow that requires me to buy very little else, using things from around my house, but they're either too big, would smell like mad, or just straight out not work.:wall:

I need help perfecting an idea so i can have a successful grow for very little cash.

My latest idea was a plastic recycling box 18 inch internal depth, with soil at the bottom, a 6 inch oscilating desk fan, mylar lined walls, a bottle with yeast and sugar for CO2,and ONA mist dispenser and my light wired through the top.
All mentioned items INSIDE the plastic box

What problems can you spot with this???

Thanks

Ok, fair enough, I'll just stick to my current technique; Growing in a plantpot. Thanks for all the help guys

lol... go cheap by making your grow box or tent. i used panda film and pvc. both cheap. throw in your bulb and get some ventilation fans then you are good

Hey dude check this out, little project I did, it cost me less than $100, lights were about 150, but you can go cheaper for lower wattage

and ya you could do it with the CFL, and your cost would be like 10$ if its just the one light and most of the stuff you can grab around home, in the garbage (screen door stuff....you'll see it in there) or really cheap at the dollar store! Let me know what ya think, you can even do it in a smaller bar fridge!!!
