Grow Plan, yeilds and tips

Ok my first serious grow i will start once i harvest my first plant. im going to use 5, 5 gallon buckets, rocks in bottom with soil. Mostly organic nutes and feed, (wood ash, egg shells, molasses) going to get snow storm ultra for flowering also. 5 42 watt cfls as close as possible to tops of plants. home made light fixture with disposable cooking pan. closet size, shooting for pure indica strains

what do you think my yeilds will be, and will this be enough light?

Go for perlite in your soil and drop the rocks... A very good tip... 1/3 is a good ratio, the resulting gas exchange will supercharge your plants. And use reputable nutes at moderate concentrations, liquid organics are very nice if you like the organic route, until you get a better feel for it.

Good luck!

you will need way more light if you plan on maxing out the potentioal of 5 5gal buckets.....you have enough light for 1 maybe. get a 1000 mh/hps and you will do better.

i live in a bad area so cops are everywhere. theyll fry you for just a blunt no joke. anything they can hit you with your gettin max sentence. alot of people i know have been caught lately because of eletric bill so im a little worried about that part, and using 1000 watts of light will definitly raise some eyebrows

i suggest if your going to try to grow go get yourself a good light, dont cheep out its a waist of time, even if you can jsut get a
cheep light socket like this from like homhardware or sumn just re-wire it to a plug and throw a cupple 100w cfl bulbs in there its cheap and effective my brother belive me it will give you so much better results if your going Low-key
i use to grow this way and will be again when i move into my new place,
as of now im still up on my 400w HPS and loving it
Good luck to you keep me posted

Personally, I think the 5 gallons is to big for a short(in time and size) grow. Unless that plants in there for more than 3 months then 5 gallons is good. But 3 gallon pots get the same results. My first grow tried two plants(same strain) one in 5 gallon pot, one in 3 gallon. The yeilds where the same. So I wasted 2 gallons of soil/perlite. With cfl's too you will want to keep them a short as poss, cause the cfl light dosnt travel distance very well(no light really dose) and cfl light dosnt penatre the foliage well enough to get big nuggets at the bottom of the plant. I upgraded to 600whps after my cfl's and the results are awsum. anyway back to your points,,3 gallon over 5 gallon. 5 gallon if going for 3 months. Just my advice,, fair enough the bigger pot will hold more nutes safer than a small pot , but aslong as you dont go mad with the nutes it would be okay. Also if your looking for gd nutes, liquid organic, I recommend Bio bizz, the bio bloom and topmax. the topmax is a flower stim, and works really well. I have seen dramtic results with the topmax. my only beef is the lack of Mg( magnesuim)in um.,,,, I have yet to see results with the bio heaven, but the bio bloom and topmax work. I hear good thing about that dutch liquid lig ht or somthing like that,,its ment for cfl's, but I cant mind and someone on here will have the info on that,

as for lights, aim for 10,000 lumens per flowering plant. so work out your lumens and see if youd have enough,.
Anyhow good luck and take it easy
