Before anyone else talks about lights etc, I would just like to give my pearl of wisdom, you need to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!! Good luck.

You going soil or hydro? What kinda budget we talking about?

 

[ilovetree]

ok.... i have a budget of about 350 to 400 bucks i really dont know much about hydro, i want something that is the easiest to maintain and will make the plants as big as possible...i dont know if that is hydro or soil...what in your opinion works best

size really depends on the strain, u growin bagseed or get urs from a seed company. . . u growin indoors or outside?

Start with a hempy bucket, 400watt HPS light and ballast,contact relay, (dual spectrum bulb) and some good genetics. Ph/tds meter(s) are a must, small oscillating fan and forget about all the RO water bollocks.

im growin inside, and the strain is afghan kush, and mango kush

 

[ilovetree]

where can i buy materials like the 400 watt light?

 

[turkish420]

kush should be a decent size plant, online is the cheapist place for lights, check ebay, craigs list

google it bro..

 

[ilovetree]

i was thinking about ebay...are there any stores that sell lights like that like Ace or Home depot...or are materials like those hard to find?

 

[turkish420]

havnt checked those places yet, hydro stores or grow stores should carry lights, got any near you?

 

[ilovetree]

o yeah im sure i do i live an hour away from berkley...which is like the weed capital of cali...if not the U.S. but i goota look for them....any idea how much the set up would cost?

If you are mechanical u can build a 400,600 or 1000 for about 120$

 

[turkish420]

shouldnt be too much, you can get alot from wal-mart. (cfls, pots, timers, ph testers, fans, etc.) the specialty items are the HPS light, nutes, soil.

for best growing results you need lots of gear.
it aint cheap.
more money = best gear = more success.
i have spent around 2000$ on growing gear and i grow with soil only.
the more you put in the more you get out.
i dont believe in cheap growing and i only want the best.

i dont do things in half measures.
if you cant afford it then dont grow it.
