  1. i plan on converting my dresser (69" long (5'9") (35 1/2" two halves)  27" high  17" deep) i know everything i want to get for it. all im having trouble with is the lights. i want to use cfls but i dont know how many i should get. im looking for 65watt clfs (not 65watt equivelent) im trying to go for at least 4 plants with the bonzi method (instead of one top you get 4+ tops) any advice would be greatly appericated. and any tips on nutes and everything would be great. (im  kinda poor so the cheeper the better)

  2. Get as many of the CFL you can afford and get feminized seeds so you don't waste time on a male.
     
    You can buy single seeds here.

    If you can get clones locally  go that route. clones are so much bushier.
     
    good luck.

  3. I don't have money to be buying seeds. What would be some good ORGANIC nutes and fertilizers

    I use bone meal, blood meal, earthworm castings, liquid seaweed and fish emulsion when I grow organically. Compost tea.

  5. Any more advice please
     
  6.  
    Get some lights up and plant any seeds you can get in solo plastic cups and get started.
     
  7. Read, research, take notes. Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.
     
  8. dude that's literally all I do is smoke (unless I'm dry and I am) research and take notes. There's to much bull online
     
  9. For worm castings would it be easier to get some worms from say a bait shop and have them make they're own castings. Or should I get worm castings without the worms for now?
     
  10. yes you can. The dirt the are packed in is earthworm castings with dirt. These woud be better to use if you have a compost pile so they can multiply. But yeah get a bunch, clean out the worms, mix in the soil. Many things can be used as organic nutes but all it will do is start a flame war. Google home made organic plant nutrients and research on farming sites for good examples.
     
  11. Flame war haha well here's my set up. I'm only using a 3rd of the space for now cuz I'm broke and yes I did move the lights down
