I've been uploading all my update videos to my youtube along with some instructional videos for the new or beginner growers to show & prove that it is indeed possible to grow on such a small budget and/or limited grow space. I'll be going over everything from seed to harvest with this project, I'll be adding instructional videos along the way to show everything I'm doing with this low budget set up to help out the beginner grower.
Aside from this current set up, I am partnered with 2 other patients for an industrial size grow set up. We are renting out an office type building, there is a vegetative room, a flowering room, and the bathroom is where the mother plants stay. For legal and privacy reasons I won't be journaling that grow project. Thanks for understanding.
I will be updating this thread alongside my youtube with fresh pics and videos 2-3 times a week so check back often. I obviously can't upload my videos to be played in the thread so for every update video I'll throw in the new youtube link after the previous one. I'll keep uploading the new pics here. I won't be adding the instructional video links here as there probably is more experienced growers than beginners, you can find them on my youtube page if you wish to view them. Each time an update video is added on this post I'll go ahead and add a new post to the thread mentioning it so you know what's new and old.
