Hello everyone, I'm going to buy a new equipment to grow indoors (now I have a self-built growbox of wood and cfl lights of the supermarket .. lol) to start doing things seriously and learn something more, now that I have money and a small dose of knowledge.
I want to grow seedlings in a short time (possibly 1 month veg and 1 month bloom), aiming exclusively at saving in the bill, even if this will affect the yield. Therefore I am willing to make a small initial investment to save money in the future.
I ask you for advice on what to buy, since browsing through the forum I have seen many conflicting opinions and I feel insecure.
I need:
- Grow tent 60cmx60cm: I thought about this size because otherwise I would go to consume too many watts and then the bill cost would be too high. I'm going to put 4 9-10 L pots if possible, otherwise I'm all ears.
- Light: this is the part where I'm most undecided. The CFL inspires me for low consumption but not for low yield, so I do not know if i should get it. On HID I have not yet managed to find a good comparison on their consumption compared to CFL, but I imagine it is very high, and therefore unfortunately I would rather avoid (considering also the additional expense of the ballast). The LEDs inspire me a lot, but I am ignorant on the subject, I entrust myself to you!
- Reflector: I ask you also in this case, if necessary.
- Extractor: here I have a question, does it make sense to use an extractor without letting it out of the window? It's something that I would like to avoid because I still have neighbors around the house .. at most I could keep it out only for a part of the day, but I do not know how to prevent the insects from entering the house.
The budget is about 250 euros, I do not know if you can pull out something good with this money, in case I can increase a bit if necessary.
Thank you in advance for your availability, I am open to any advice.
