Well I decided to go cheap for two reasons. I want to make sure my growing skills are uo to it since it has been about 30 years since my last grow. Also, I am so broke I cannot afford to change my mind.

So far I think I am doing well, but I really need to move forward with some better soil and nutes. Money is still an issue for now so I have to pick my battles.

Potting soil $2.25
Timer - $12.00

Everything else was re-purposed using left overs from my business that I closed. T12 bulbs poised a few inches above my plants.



Week2 and Week3. How I am doing so far?

Doin' good so far. What's your next play? What moves you got? Game plan?

Wow, I didnt mean to make it sound so douchey. Especially for my first post... and I dont see an edit button. Sorry. I realize the $ issue. Gotta get some nutes tho. You could grab one of those starter packs with all the nutes needed for like $30. Got any bigger pots and more dirt?

Welcome to the forum. I did not see anything that looked douchey, so not to worry, and I do appreciate the input. I do not have an edit button either. It may sound silly but I think you require a certain amount of posts to earn that privilege. ??? Plans are variable, or for me "by the seat of my pants". I have some 5 gallon pots (free from Loblaws floral shop). I am going to pickup some Litmus paper, or maybe buy a Digital PH tester on line. I favor the strips because they will never break (old school). Had a few computer repair jobs so there is a little extra left for soil and nutes. I need to work on my grow closet if I want to a be able to accommodate the 5 gallon pots. March is when my CPP starts so that is when the show goes into a higher gear. I think I have to spend my first 3 months worth buying everything I need. Again, thanks for replying, it truly is appreciated. Cheers!

Plants look good so far. Good luck.

Are you using bag seed?

Those middle two put on some good growth from week 2 to week 3.

Yes. Just been collecting everything all last year. My hope it that at least one of the 3 mystery mix is blueberry. But I have at least for sure, 3 that are Girl Scout Cookies. I have also found 5 more in the shake I am using for my cookies. So now I may have some for White
Widow and/or Afghani Kush.

Thanks, I am pleased with the progress so far.

So is 50 posts the magic number I need to have an avatar as well?

PH strips or even drops are a great option for the budget grow. What are your ideas for lighting / size of space? Do you have more t12s or bulbs to switch out during flower?

Thanks for the info. I thought it would be rather odd for them to not include an edit button in a forum.
