Look for composana soil, is easy to find in europe, though i suck at growing with soil it's what knowledgeable growers use here.

Regarding strain, i think you're short on watts with cfls, look at threads like blynx ones to see which strains yield decently with low watts cfl...

Hey superklass!

You said you're on a budget so no I wouldn't bother buying expensive ph or soil moisture meters. If you get your soil content right from the start you shouldn't have a problem. Like everyone's said on here, to get 30g you'll need some better lighting.

I don't have any experience in growing autoflowering strains but, from what I've heard, lowryder #2 is a good one in that family. I personally wouldn't bother with autoflowers as many people have said they aren't as potent as indica or sativa. It's up to you I guess.

Todays update:
added photos,still having hard time thinking about seeds :( diffrent opinions spins my head,that`s way i`m.

the black package is compost i will use later i might make photo of earth grunt i found that might be good instead of perlit.
didin`t get box today,problems with picking seeds remains :(
thoose connections lower the lamps box are for connecting wires to make little click to turn off lights it has been made just today didin`t had enough time to photo it.
having hard time deciding strains from what i can choose is:
dwarf,white window,big bang,Northern Light,Cheese Feminised? all would be 3fem,also there would be seed or more as a gift :)

If I was starting over again and decided not to do a water only organic soil mix I would probably use Canna Pro Plus soil with added perlite and ewc. I would then use either Canna's or Biobizz organic nute range...

...I would then open the nearest window and throw that fucking ph pen out of it.

If you want to get a good yield from CFL's you need to read the whole of Blynx's thread from start to finish. Once you have finished reading you'll understand the importance of an even canopy, long veg cycle, good nute availability, great airflow and perfect proximity of bud to lights.

Box - Build your own box. Start by deciding what size pots to use. Get square ones and the bigger the better. More roots = more bud. The wattage you're talking about is pretty small...infact it's tiny. It is vital that you get your plants close to the lights.

Read up on VerdantGreens ModScrog thread.

Autos = great for outdoors to get crops in mid summer. Wouldn't bother with them indoors. I mean...why?

If I were you I would buy Dinafems Power Kush. they're fems and they put out big style...check out Phillthy's Padded Room thread he rates them and he's one of the best growers on here.

Read read read...make mistakes...read more...make more mistakes...improve.

Don't aim for x amount of grams on your first grow...just aim to be able to get high off something YOU'VE GROWN! The yields will come...but this can't be rushed and this is where I feel you may have a problem...

...you seem like you're in a race.

Take care

and good luck.

about everything,well what i bought is what i got,later might get 2x35w 6700k if not i`l buy 1 or 2x35w 2700k other thing yeah i`m not going for autos,done some reading White window x Big Bud will be my choice,you see i invested cash had friend back for weekend so wanted to get plans and he can help while he is back,why i`m saying about ammount is because i wanna get cash invested and have some awsome smokes with friends ;) i`m always kind too patience and planning everything so i get best choice,today i`l guess i will order seeds hope for best,check other things for box,thought to make box from wood might be funny but for my savings and budget little too high if i wanna make good box,might go for little box and LST,SCROG soo cfl stay near and do their lighting.
Sorry for bad english,thanks :)
 
NE GROWER 978 - Which strains have you grown of theirs? The Power Kush for example looks pretty great.

i got limited shops and budget to choose from for strains.
here is best shop i could find :) also there are other 2 but it`s in my language :) femaleseeds looks best same as white window x big bud.

i havent grown them in my personal grow but have had many people grown it in local gardens (Blue Widow, Diesel, and DinaChem) and i have smoked em all and it has been nothing but garbage. just cause it looks good dosent mean it is good.

I'll trust Phillthy. If he says it's good...

I have some Critical + freebies...I'll pop them next grow.

You may well be correct about the strains you mentioned.

hey superk ,ive read thru your log and think you only need to find a cupboard or closet up to 4-5 ft high ,and try and aim for a low watt hps 250w will keep power costs down why ll still pulling up to a half pound off 2-4 plants if tipped multiple times to acheive as many branches as possible ,i only use cfl s for cloning and maintaining mothers and vegging new strains ,if you going to go to all the trouble go the hps

very budgeted setup that is why i didin`t went for hps.
 
sooooo
whatsup SK?

Had many things going,didin`t saw your post here so okay the news are.
Got 5x35w cfl 2700k,yes sadly no 6700k but it will be ok for first time.
germinated 3 LLR#2 (Low ryder#2) seeds all showed roots in 2days or so it went to soil.
2 look very good,one was pretty bad wanted to check since i had problems with lighting so roots were longer and when i wanted to put 3rd seed in soil it snaped half of roots,in soil after few days looked like not very strong compared to others,i will give it a week see if life will be in it again.
first seed already dropped shelf,second is almost done it too.


Still things to buy:
upgrade box and plant everything in pc case.
get liquid PH test
buy one more ventilator for lower heating building from lights.
basic timer.
hygro/thermo digital.
and some nutriets.
also going monday to one shop might i will find some perlite.
