Advice pleassseee...:D

Okay, so im a student living at home...im in grade 12 about to graduate june /06, and im looking to start growing to support my habbit and just to get some extra weed. I am willing to spend the money. I already got 2 bag seeds(germinating at the moment). This grow will be in my closet in a box, i can eventually get a huge box in thereI need to know what lights I need. I live in canada so preferably someone who lives in canada and they can tell me the cheapest most effective light and where to get it... thanks guys I realllly wannt get shit started.


Peaceeee,

-Brad

Depends how big the box is. With 2 plants i would go with a2ft wide 2 feet deep and anywhere from 3-6feet high. You can use cfl's for veg but if you can get a 250watt mh..then for flowering i recomend a 250watt hps .You can get them for cheap at www.insidesun.com idk if they ship to canada but they should.

Hell, I wouldnt even go near nutes.

I think what Ill do is when my plants need it, go catch a fish by the river like 200 feet down the street and put some of him at the bottom of my pot. I heard it produces phenominal results.

He said hes willing to spend the money. If he can get that then its better then thoes 2cfls What are they 27watts? and imo 3400 lumens isnt enough to grow even 2 plants.

Yea i keep hearing that all the time, i worked through highschool and college and had ample monies...

Guess its who wants to make the money and who rather have it handed to them. Or at least stop buying weed for a week or 2 and save up to support your habit.

yeah, seriously... I just garduated last year, just finished my first year of college about a week or two ago. I've had plenty of money for this... i mean if you spend so much on weed why can't you just take a break and save up money? it won't kill you to wait. that's just dumb.

Smart ass, if you already know what you're gonna do, do it and quit asking stupid shit. Look through the forum and you can find suggestions to reject w/o bothering people.
