I am planning out my first grow and have only been seriously researching it for about a week. I was thinking about planting a single plant and maybe advancing to 3-4 plants. I plan on investing in this hobby and do not want to go the "gorilla" route. I also do not want to invest thousands. I am thinking about staying in the ballpark of US$500.00. I am posting here in hopes that the community will fine tune my set up and provide link replacements. Here is a list of equipment I plan on obtaining: The seed Priceless. *UPDATE: hydroponic system - Going to build my own! Thanks akhans and custom280Z for the inspiration! reflector $39.95 Light Bulb 1xCool 1xWarm $24.99 x2 Light Hanging Kit $8.95 Grow Tent $105.99 Thermometer / Hygrometer $22.99 Nutrient Starter Kit $32.99 24 Hour Timer $17.95 x2 Fan $24.95 Inline Blower $89.95 ppm Tester / Meter $17.47 Please add every little detail I have forgotten.
Looks good. You could probably build the first two yourself and save some money, especially the reflector. hydro system Reflector
Thanks akhans! I saw the guide for the hydro. The problem is I am not a handy man. I am an excellent photographer and a computer guru, I just can build stuff.
A LOT of this stuff can be picked up at walmart for A LOT cheaper....you dont have to get it from a hydro website..
i'd stay away from rubbermade and sterilite tub's...there really crappy compaired to a super box or tuff box... then your cookin... you can check out my gas chamber in the grow room design section..there's a aero/dwc hydro system that can hold 2" or 3" net pot's and 24 plant's...only 100$ to build the whole thing.... work's awesome.. good link's bro thanx for lookin out!
As the title suggest... Links? Head over to the Walmart site and link up what we can buy there. That would be perfect! When I first read this I thought, "oh great, another guy who didn't read that I can't build anything". Then I checked out your link and am actually a little inspired to build it myself. Thanks!
ya i know how it is,..lol you should check out midwest's build (stealth dresser) we are tearin it up over there...lol his shit's going to be nice... i model these system's from aquamist system's...you can only veg about a week or two but pull 3/4 oz minimum per plant, at 24 plant's..that's a lot of pot in a 20x29 inch space...lol go for it...hit me up if you need a hand brotha..there super simple and very effective.. cheer's
If your to lazy to drive yourself to walmart to buy a timer...maybe you shouldnt be growing....just a thought
If you are too lazy to post a link, maybe you shouldn't be posting? Just a thought... The timer you mentioned is actually more expensive at Wallmart. So thanks for ASSuming that I am too lazy to drive there. However, the osculating fan was cheaper at Fred Meyers than it was on the list. I drove there as well.
I can really only laugh at this... but Im glad you found something cheaper...which is what I was simply trying to tell you. Either way trust me dude the timer I got from walmart worked for my entire grow and it was cheaper then that. I know its cool to wanna buy all the stuff from hydro stores/ websites cause it seems more legit.
Marineland 24 Hour Light Timer #PA0401 - Power Strips & Timers I just saved you around $14....now maybe you can grow up
See? You can post a relative post to the topic. Now for your next post, try not to be a douchebag and you will be golden. Even though that's not from Wallmart or is it the same product you were going off about, at least you posted a link (should of done that the first post, but hey, I will take what I can get). I am proud of you.
Hey check these two links out, will save you a lot of cash. Do It Yourself - Grasscity.com Forums and http://forum.grasscity.com/do-yourself/567619-diy-archive.html
Thanks for the links, but I was already aware of those threads (being on the same forums and all). It is where I got my plans for my hydroponic system I am going to build.
You're definitely are going to need a Ph. Tester--or you might as well set all that other stuff on fire.
Already on the first page my man (does anyone ever read the first post ) If you know of a better one, can you link it? LINKS PEOPLE!
