hey my name is josh morrow and im 19

its possible. get some cfls and soil. a cheap fan. you can get flowering stuff when the time comes or get a bigger budget. its possible though. how many plants? 1? that would be my guess for 50$. don't think you'd be able to get by indoor with more then 1 on that budget.

edit: just read the 2 plants. good luck. i have seen people pull off some crazy stuff on here, so maybe....

thanks for all the info!!!!

thanks for all the info ill take the advice for starting off with 2 little small pots rucca!!!!!!!!

I'd start at least 3, but really do 5 seedlings. They won't be sizeable for a month (if they all make it a month)

good point

I started mine in milk cartons, they worked great for being free. You could probably do a whole grow in gallon size plastic ones.

milk cartons??????? how did it turn out???????? and what types of weed were you growing???? also it says stranger below my name people how do i change that???? or does it change over a period of time ive been registered on this forum or whatever...????????????

changes over time.

It was a sativa strain from Barney's called "Honey B." They were 1/2 gallon plastic ones and they worked pretty well once I cut 'em down and added drainage holes. I kept them in those till the plants were like 6" tall and then I repotted into bigger terracotta containers. If you kept the plants small (like with a lowryder strain), I don't see why the whole grow couldn't be done in 1 gal. jugs. I saw pics from one guy who did a pseudo-SOG with 20oz coke bottles. It looked wicked, but I don't think I'd wanna do it that way.

dude youre going to be struggling to get all the equipment you need for that kind of money. in my experience... you need at least $150 to PROPERLY start it up bro. good luck. let us know how you go

he CAN start with it. I did. bought a 6pk of cfls at walmart, a timer, some soil. some light sockets that plug into a wall. had some surge protectors around the house. used cardboard with aluminum foil as make shift reflectors. doing good. not a PROPER set up. but it works. and every week of two when i get some extra dough i through it at imroving my set up. i think the most important thing is he gain EXP. because a good setup aint going to do him shit if he cant utilize it properly. IMO. SHITS called weed for a reason. it grows like one.

also. i found in my own experience. get a 3gallon bucket or bigger. there a dolla or two, but shit, ive got root bound twice. first in jello cups then in 6in pots. funny how my plants are still tiny but they got SOOO many fucking roots.

This is what I used for the below plants

vegging CFL's, flowering cfls, nutes, ph up, ph down, ph meter, various pots, soil, mylar, fans, sockets, socket adapters + a few more - all came to like, $150-$180?

You can grow with $50, but it will be annoying as fuck improvising stuff. It's much easier to spend the $ and do it right.


btw I was using 8x 26w 6500k bulbs for half of vegging (worked my way up) and I used 6x 42w 2700k cfls.

1 of those 42w 2700k CFL's at Home Depot costs like $7.50, I bought 8 total (broke two). I spent $10 more than your budget on flowering CFL's alone.

Your going to need nutrients @ like $10+ a bottle, and some good soil @ $10 a bag, and a ph tester for $25.


My advice is don't start growing before you have everything you need. Otherwise your running to the store to buy things with money you don't have. But you figure you already invested so much time and $, so it wouldn't make sense to abandon your plants. Besides, you will be in love them.
