Ok, so I've had a few outdoor grows, but never really yielded any thing too crazy. I knew very little about nutrients and mostly just watered my plants outside in their ff soil. One day a friend and I decided that instead of paying the clinic $50 a week, we would grow our own indoor bud and save hundreds a month. We went to a local hydro store and talked with the owner/cashier and he told us we could achieve two ounces per plant (9 plants) with a 600w in a 4x4 space growing in coco and airpots. $300 later we bought everything he said we needed. No grow tent though, something I still want to add... Well, to sum up the first indoor grow it cost me $300 in electricity on top of nearly $100 worth of jugs of a specific water throughout the grow (invest in a good watering system you'll save so much time and money), and 15 weeks of daily waterings. We only got an ounce per plant due to multiple newbie indoor growing mistakes. It happens, and learning from it is worth more than any nutrient. $700 for 9 ounces of mid shelf flowers was pretty discouraging, but I decided to buy out my partner on his half of the equipment and leftover nutrient.
Despite being in the negative after almost 4 months of time and effort I decided to push through and start another grow with the knowledge I obtained from the previous grow. Here I am with three less plants at the end of the second week of flower, and my plants are trimmed down to 6-7 main colas and still taking up the canopy space with lush growth three weeks ahead of the last grow. This is with vegging three weeks less as well. I have about six weeks to go but with the way things are looking this grow will yield even more, and higher quality than the one before. Don't be discouraged by a bad first grow and sell all your equipment on craigslist to cut even. These are living things and to raise them properly takes time and effort. Just my thoughts on the subject.
