So let me begin with saying this is my first REAL attempt at growing cannabis. I would not have made this far if it wasn't for icmag forums! i got so much advise from experiened gardeners that i felt i owed a diary to possibly help future sprouts! I also want to show people that it doesnt take thousands of dollars to have a successful garden. I have met so many growers near me that have borrowed tons of money to get a setup going and have never even grown before..im not saying a big tent with super cooled lights and all the bells and whistles isnt awsome! in fact that may be my goal...but no need to jump right in untill i know a little more about what Im doing!
My set-up: Six slot bubbleponics (DWC)-free (hand me down)
400w hps ballast with socket-free ballast -3$socket
Grow lamp for said ballast-30$
40w t-12 fixture/ballast-free (hand me down)
T-12 grow lamp-20$
Reflector made from an old popcorn tin cut in half
co2 tank-Free (hand me down from brewing buddy)
Nutes-general organics go box 30$
H2O2-27$
ph down-20$
Mosquito dunks-5$ (damn you root aphids!!)
That being said i will make with some pics! and get this under way... one last thing i am an electrician so wiring old ballast is easy for me i would not recommend it for beginners, it is very VERY dangerous!!!
