JUst wondering how long it would take to recoup the cost of growing say two plants at a time using a space the size of a clothing closet? This would take into account all costs associated with purchasing all the necessary (mid-range) equipment. I would hope to harvest in 3 months. Im currently spending $160.00 / mth. (1/4 oz per week at $40/per 3.5 gms.)
Grow more small plants sea of green style and get close to a 1/4 pound every 3 months. Better yet grow 12 hydro plants under a 400watt HPS. You can possibly get more like a half pound with some studying and luck.
My key to growing is ignore the plants. I have some falling over tied to the ceiling so they don't fall over from the heavy buds. The lights are on and they have water I don't do a thing. Make the environment just like Hawaii. It helps to be legal too. I dont have air filters,tents and shit to buy.
And I thought the opposite! I figured one would have to monitor a bunch of factors, or grow a meagre crop.
Newbies tent to love the plants to death. Too much water, too much plant food, too much fucking with them. I tell lots of new growers not to love the plants to death.
