Can someone list me exact items and brands of things i need to get and what store to get them from. Will wal mart have everything I need . This is my first grow my gf is gona take me to get the supplies i need dont wanna go back and forth
I have had plenty of outdoor plants before i just dont take care of them. I know how to grow a plant i just need a llist of branded light bulbs and branded nutrients and where to get them all from
Wal mart will have plenty of perfect cfl's for you but as for nutes and soil they probably wont have anything I would want to use. If your just starting you wont need nutes for awhile anyway...
Definately do some reading around here before you start... If your doing CFLs get the highest ACTUAL wattage not the equivallent or replacement value. Veg = 6500k And look for the highest lumen output Flower = 2700k 100 watts at least for any plant Also, don't get anything under 20 watts cause it's a waste. Emergency blanket in the camping section Y splitters. And if i were you i would'nt buy soil at wal mart..stuff isnt good. Find an organic or hydro shop in your town and get fox farm ocean forrest soil. You need nutrients .. do some research on them. And you need a fan that can circulate air and strengthen the stems of your plants. Good luck !
Everybody's Garden Center This is where I shop for nutes and soil, but I live nearby so I don't have to have anything shipped...
If you're shopping at Walmart you will be limited but it can be done. Let's see here. 26w compact flourescants (100 actual watts for first plant, +50 for each additional) Security lighting fixtures that hold 2 lights each for however many you need and replacement power cables so you can make them plug in to regular outlets. A real hardware store will have better lighting setups but this is about your best choice at walmart. They have terrible flower pots, so get about a 27 quart tupperware and line it with duct tape if it's clear. One per plant. Drill holes in the bottom for drainage. I'd get a large tupperware bin to put the regular plant bins in to catch runoff water so it doesn't get on your floor. You will probably have to go to a nursery to get proper plant nutrients, Fox Farms are great. While you're there get some organic fox farms soil and perlite, otherwise soil from walmart. If you're going hydro get some fish bubble stones and a pump from the pets section. Go to the outdoors section and pick up a couple emergency blankets to hang on the walls for reflection. Watering pale. Tie wraps, everyone needs tie wraps at some point. Hmm. I'll see if I can think up anything else you'll need. Nutes and good soil from the nursery are going to be vital though and wally only sells the crappy miracle grow.
I have a bag of this greenish blueish miracle grow i knw it is not recommended but some have had some success using this but exactly how are you supposed to put it in the soil and how much.
Go HERE and see where by you sells fox farms stuff. If they sell fox farms they're going to have all the good nutrients, pots, soil and most likely Mylar and everything you need for a real setup. Seriously you'll be spending right about the same for a real setup as you would at wal-mart, and it will definitely pay for itself. Keep reading everything on this forum you can get your eyes on and you will be ready to get great results.
A hydro shop isn't a smoke shop. It's basically a shop for weed growing supplies.. like lights, soil, nutrients, etc
You need to do a lot more research your going to piss your money away bc at this point you dont even have an idea of what your doing. My grow area cost me 600 and that was on the low side and about 10 months of research.
i agree. its not just what to get, but how to use them together to grow; how to keep soil good, how to get the best results for your lights and dealing with the heat from the lights are just sub topics on the whole issue. you could of corse buy what you want and learn along the way like most of us did, but we are here to try and help each other.
Google search these words-indoor garden supplies arizona- dont know where you live but they have shops in arizona to meet your needs.
Are you prepared to spend about 1000-1200 for a full setup? I went the (do it yourself) route 1st and just pissed money away. when i went back and threw out everything and started from scratch I recorded everything.. I have a full shopping list. You let me know if your prepared to do somthing right ___you will not find anything on my list in walmart. what kind of lighting do you plan on using CFL, PISSING away money you could spend on proper lighting not that they don't have there place It's just never going to be in my home again. T-5 , 8 tube X4 foot are common but there is one made called the badboy 12tube X4' metal halide, (there is a huge variation of light bulbs and ballast for this ) also what are the dimensions of space you have available?
Im not tryna grow dro im just tryna start out growing reg and i know it aint gonna cost over 300 to grow me some reg
