a few questions about my first time

[joshh318]

1) generally how many seeds should i start out with? i've saved all the seeds from my last few sacks, so i should have enough.

2)for the fan can i just use a typical fan that people use in their house? what is best?

3)what brand of lights are best to use and about how much money will they run me?

1. If your using bagseed, start with twice as many as you want to end up with females. IOW if you want to have 4 females, start with 8-10 seeds.

2. Yes as long as it isnt too strong blowing them over.

3. You need to do some research before you begin, read up on CFL's FTL's and HID's.
You need to find out whats best for you and your budget, different areas charge different prices per killawatt hour.

thanks man i appreciate it. i just am not exactly sure if i need all these expensive and hi-tech things that a lot of people on here post about. im just looking for the cheapest and i guess easiest way for me to do this. laziness is not a factor, because i have the patience, i just dont want to drop a lot of money before i find out if growing is for me or not.
