Hopefully the title got your attention. About two weeks ago I germinated my first bag-seed (Supposedly Lemon Haze but I'm not sure). The seedling is about almost 4 inches tall and is still growing. I have it in a plastic container on the window of my room. I had one little problem with the plant which was that it was starting to lean over or fall over. So I googled how to support it to make it stay up. I found that the straw method and fan helps. Anyways my thing now is that I only have $60 dollars that I plan to spend on this plant. What I'm trying to do is buy some soil, a pot, growing light (for one plant so not $100+ light), and maybe even order some seeds from a seed-bank. Now I've come to realize that buying seeds is not going to make it in my budget of $60 dollars. I've been trying to find the right soil to buy and the light from amazon. So far I've noticed that Black Gold is a good soil for cannabis and that the UNIFUN 45W LED Grow Light seems good. I'm currently using Miracle Grow Potting Mix as my soil because that's all I had access to. And I know that miracle grow is not good soil for weed but like I said all I had access to. Also I'm wondering if I buy Black Gold or any soil recommended on here, will it "shock" my plant once transplanted? What type of pot should I buy for my budget? And also would I have enough to buy some fertilizer for it?
I have 60 Dollars! And One Plant! That's it!

if your seedling likes miracle grow she'll grow in cement, in space, with no water even, likely

We should get together, together we would have $232.00 and 9 plants. Bad things only get better. If it can't get any worse, it can only get better. Hopefully things will improve in the next 4 years.
Good luck my partner of misfortunes . We will make it somehow.

i'd look into a couple of t5 fixtures, or maybe cfls, not going to be able to afford much. find a 5 gallon bucket, drill about 20 holes in the bottom of it, buy a bag of perlite and mix it with the soil you have. maybe try to find a small container of Jack's fertilizer..in general, you're trying to do something with no budget. take whatever you get at the end of it and be happy
Thanks! Will do.

Good lighting is the food and nurishment for strong photosynthesis in plants. Weak stems can be corrected with Advanced Nutriants Rhino Skin. All plants use one of the most common element on planet Earth and that is Silicon. This is what your plants needs for strong stems which will be supporting large buds. Never neglect testing your PH level of about 5.6 to 6.0 so nutriants may be absorbed by your plant. To myself, and many others, the ultimate resource of healthy growth is your rooting system. Do some research on benificial bacteria, and fungicides for root growth while plants are young.

Lol yo Donald all of us broke newb mafks should pool in and start something serious lol.
Just go to your local hardware store get a bag of dirt 5$, one or a few of those clip lights with reflector and the biggest flood leds they have...just pop off the bulb cover when you get home.
When the plant gets bigger and needs more light pop back into the hardware store with 20$ and buy a couple more lights lol

look around local thrift stores, see if you can find clip lights, working fans, anything that might be useful on the cheap. i've even heard of people finding leds and hid lights at the goodwill, but i've never seen any

led floods don't have any penetration, i've used them, they're ok for veg, they aren't any better than cfls for flowering, and they cost more
Around $58 Dollars.

if you get some t5s or cfls to go with it as you go along, that one light won't be nearly enough for flowering
Agree. Yeah the $60 Budget is just for now to get it out of a cup and into a pot. Any recommendations on a specific light?
