Hiya Im a newbie to all this growin lark and have been readin alot of the threads and am thinking about playing around with a bit of bag seed and see what happens. I am wondering what is the cheapest set-up that can be created. I wanna start cheap and then maybe et a more expensive set up once i get the hang of it. I only want one plant on the go and am thinnking of LSTing it to keep it compact and bud-tastic. goona get an old toy chest (like a treasure chest) and paint the bad boy white and tke the top off and get adjustable bulb/bulbs above it. Im from the UK and am willing to spend about £20/£50. The lights are the FLO's or HD things aint they (im a techie idiot) Goona try loads o seeds and then sex em n chuck out the males and try the females What do the more experienced of ya think? Any help/friendly ridicule/banter/ball breaking is appreciated
Man for 50 Euros you're not looking at very much. For that you can get only maybe 5 27 watt CFL bulbs, a cheap 4 maybe 6 inch fan, some 20-20-20 fert and 10-20-10 fert, (2) 1 gallon pots, a bag of dirt and a 3.50 Euro soil ph tester; that's about it. That is bear minimums grow. We might already be over budget. That does not include the seeds.
If you keep em short your looking at a 2to 3 month growing cycle inside a toy chest. If If i was going to do that i would Scrog or LST but dont expect a good plant unless you have at least 160 watts of tubes. You could use the compact floros and get a much bigger yield due to heat and light intensity.
