and if you dont got money start off in a cardboard box lol like some of us did
if money is not a issue get yourself a grow tent for 150 bucks and like illigal said a 400w with dimable ballast. but a ebb n flow system and some beans from a trusted seedbank.

i was under the impression he was trying to keep it relativly low cost but still have a successfull grow, not the best grow but something he could smoke in the long run.

either way seems he has enough help here so im out. gl man

i just bought this light, free shipping 200$ only prob is its not dimmable but comes with aircooled hood and both bulbs
Nice. So If I decided to start growing more, and I will once I become more experienced, how many plants will this light grow before I need another one?

I am pretty much in a cardboard box with tin foil walls and mirrors on the ceiling and floor.

there you go, looks like a nice deal.. i have a dimmable, and love the feature, but it's surely not needed, but it would be nice if you say decided that after this grow you got the bug and now want to step up and go bigger.. if you had a dimmable ballast like the one i have, you could run both 250 / 400 watt bulbs in the same ballast with the simply flip of a switch..
my galazy dimmable ballast probably cost as much as both of the setups that we linked you to do, but like i said, it's a really nice option if you want to upgrade later on down the road..
if you want to save some money for now and are really just getting into this not sure if growing is going to be for you or not, i'd say stick with the simple digital ballast, you can still run both hps bulbs and mh's in them, they just need to be of the same wattage, ie, 250 watts, no biggy really, and you could simply buy bigger and better later on down the road if you do stick with the hobby.. :)

Or better yet is there just a really informative start to finish grow thread on here that I can just copy? I don't have any shame in using someone else's good idea if it yields results I'd like :)

Weed Modifier
Hey everybody, I've been doing a little research here and there on growing my on cannabis and I decided to take the leap and do it myself. There is a great deal of info that I'm finding but sometimes it's just an overload to take in so I have a few questions I want to ask to get me going in the right track.

I have germinated a seed and placed it in my flower pot. I noticed today that the plant has finally emerged from the soil.
My first question is what lighting should I be using for this? I'm using a grow space that is about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide in depth and width. I have to lights here with me at my home that I can use for now until I can get some better lights if need to. The first light is a 90WATT 120V flood light, and the other light I have just sitting around is a soft white 75 WATT light bulb. I don't care to yield a high amount, just enough to enjoy for me and my girlfriend. I don't know the strain of the weed and I know that may be a problem to help answer my questions, but I'm trying to give as much info as possible. My second question is what else do I need to purchase to keep the plant healthy, and can I purchase these things at a home depot, lowes, ect..I've also got a little fan to help with cooling. My main concerns are nutrition and lighting and lighting cycles. If I could receive some help in these departments I'll feel much more comfortable about my first grow.

plenty of people use pretty much what you're using to grow in, so i'm not gonna bust your balls over it, i'll just say it's not the best of options and leave it at that..
you'd be fine with that setup, the only problem i have with it is the tin foil on the walls.. tin foil is a big no no for the most part, but you can simply spray paint the walls of it instead of the tin foil with some flat white paint imo..
oh yah, i'd ditch the mirrows as well.. if you got a bigger lamp like the ones we've been linking you with, than you'd have no need for a top anyhoo's as this is where the lamp would now live at, lol..
if you have to use the box as it's the only thing you really have, go for it.. but if you have say a small closet i'd say it would be the better option.. you'd be surprised and what a small closet grow could produce once dialed in..
another option that is very popular today are these grow tents that people use.. they come in all different sizes for say one plant all the way up to god, i don't know how big, but you could probably hold a circus under some of them, lol..
growing is pretty much like any other hobby that you can get into.. there are the basic setups for minimal money, than there are setups that are as elaborate and pricey as the person building it.. it's really up to the hobbyist to decide if they wanna dive in at the deep end on in the shallow end or some where in the middle.. i think some where in the middle is a nice spot, you don't have to spend tons of cash, yet can still get nice buds from it, and it won't be a let down and stop you from trying to grow again after a disappointing first grow due to crappier equipment.. :)
