    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    I've decided to build a free diy space Bucket. Pulls 52w (1 16w led, and 4 9w LEDs soldered together and mounted with just chicken wire I had) been running two days non stop and no issues other than the fan I'm using doesn't want to stay taped up. I will redo it with PC fans but I want to get...

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    I love spending time with my plants. If I could, I would turn my whole house into grow areas where I can just enjoy being around these magnificent plants

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    That sounds like a good idea. I'm also thinking if it's cheaper, just get some of the super cheap 20w cobs on eBay and wire them together on a sheet of aluminum as a heatsink. Do I need a driver for those $2 cob chips, or will I be fine for a few grows just plugging them directly into the wall?

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    I was going to do that, but i can't find anything with the dimensions I want that would work where I want to put it. I'll either do thick cardboard and make sure there's lots of airflow and good exhaust, or I'll try to get scrap wood and build a mini box with a sliding door. I wanna do it in...

    Wow. All mine are just 3000k (all they had in packs of 4 at the dollar store) and I have one 16w, 4 12w, 3 10w, and a bunch of 9w. can't wait to get it going with a cheap cardboard grow box with a diy carbon filter

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    Nice! I've got a bunch of led house bulbs without diffusers that all together pull just over 200w. I just need like 15 a19 sockets because we can't afford to have insurance and if I wire something wrong or it shorts, I have nowhere to live. I'm hoping I can find some free lamps or something on...

    First time stealth DIY build and grow.

    Since he's pretty close to harvest, deficiencies are normal because the buds are using the nutrients from the leaves. That's what happens during the flush, so I don't think you should worry about it. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. This is gonna by my first time actually getting to...

    First time stealth DIY build and grow.

    Wait until all trichomes are cloudy. Most people let about 20% turn Amber. I would say let them go another week. You can pop your seeds right now and grow them under a single cfl or you could put them in a window sill. They're gonna take about a week to pop out of the soil and put out their...

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    Only one person on here decided to act childish. I politely asked to remove the comment and they flipped for some Reason. If there's any chance you would still be interested, I would love to see how you can do with a super budget/micro grow .even if you make your own thread, I'll be sure to...

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    I was planning on it! Once I get this grow done, I'm gonna revise my setup and try to do it under my bed. That's only about 20 inches of height. And I just had to restart my grow so Im late too lol. I just started this because I love micro grows and I wanted to do my own and document it. The...

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    All sprouts germinated and look good so far. The 4 cookies are being grown for seeds and I'm gonna give most of it to a friend near me who is gonna try to help me out with some equipment. The two c99 will probably be cloned, put outside and the mothers will be grown indoors in the mini grow space.

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    Would love a picture and dimensions for your PC box. I have a decent sized case but I still think it's too small for the yield I want

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    I think that's if you grow outdoors. The rule of thumb is your plant will either double or tripple in size once you flower. So make sure you only take 1/3 of your height before you flip to 12/12. If it's a sativa, it will get taller than indicas

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    That's what I'm thinking of using it as. Make sure the corners get the same light as the middle to maximize yield. I want to eventually be able to get a good few ounces out of that box. Not sure if it's even possible given the size, but I've seen people get an ounce in a PC tower. (So sad, I'm...

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    I think your best bet for cheap activated carbon is probably buying a large amount on line at once. Then you'll have enough to last you as long as you need. Updated DIY grow light also gonna be complete soon (hopefully tomorrow). I'm soldering a few 3000k led bulbs together and removing the...

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    I think the main problem you will run into is replacing the charcoal because it gets used up faster than activated carbon. I was gonna make mine out of either diy activated carbon, or if I can't get the materials for that, a few boxes of dryer sheets and a bunch of powder charcoal. Hoping it...

    MINI BUDGET GROW CHALLENGE

    If I may give a suggestion, if you go to the store and buy activated carbon, you can probably find it for fish tank filters. Activated carbon will work WAYYY better than normal charcoal
