You can def grow 2 plants from start to finish in the AG. If you have a small grow space, simply top the plants and they'll grow stouter. My buddy is budding some Purple Haze right now in an AG.. All he did was add some CFL's and switched to FoxFarm Nutes (or something similar) during flowering. He is 3 weeks into flowering and its been smooth sailin...
Unfortunately you def need to add the CFL's (extra lighting), the lumens are crucial... if you aint got em... NO NUGZ
Wow, thanks! Appreciate all of the feedback. I spent the better part of yesterday researching homemade hydro rooms, boxes, hempy buckets... All seem awesome and seem to produce good results. I am just too busy right now to drive an hour to HD and purchase all of the stuff when I can spend an extra 50-100 bucks and get pretty much everything I need in the mail. Plus it looks to complicated for me personally as a first time grower. Also, I have no place to set up a room or a big, bulky(suspicious) box. My girlfriends family is NOSEY as hell and are always over poking around! Not only that but half of our house is under construction and we are expecting electricians/plumbers to be in and out for the next couple of months, not good! I'm planning on planting basil along with my plant(s) JUST IN CASE anybody happens to find my AG. I am also doing this for my girl who doesn't smoke(and loves fresh basil!) but respects my decision to do so. It's kind of a trade off i guess. Does anyone know if it is ok to grow buds and herbs together in the AG? I'm not looking for an easy way out... oh wait, yes I am!
No really, I would do the whole DIY thing, but just don't have a "place" or time. Maybe if this works out, I'll be able to rig something together in the near future.
Also, will I have to buy a seperate lighting rig? Or just replace the bulbs that came with the AG with stronger ones?
Thanks again all, you rock! Good luck with your grows.
