i agree..you can skimp all you want but the only thing you are really skimmping is your yields

not everyone can grow with unlimited funds or space...and some have to keep it small for stealth reasons...if people would just grow for fun and a hobby..and not make growing weed a big prick waving cockfight...then there would be more budget/stealth growers.but the male "i can do better than you" ego takes over.....and just like the little dick guys would say..its not about size..its about technique.

Intresting argument going on I agree with both sides I tend to want to go all out and have a good grow, but I also say to the guy that wants to grow one plant in a bucket becuz he loves to just grow it and post about it on a website with fellow pothead than so be it. Grow it and enjoy it you only live once why waste it hating on someone give them some tips if you know some if you think its dumb theres a back button.

I dnt understand the point..... why limit yourself to no budget why not just spend the money and have a good effeicent high yeilding quality grow?? ill never understand the whole idea of doing as little as possible with as little money as possible.....guess i just dont get it

Because people don't want to invest any $ initially. They are under the impression that you have to spend an ungodly amount of money in order to yield enough for your own personal smoke. That is hardly true, and I am trying to put together a thread that will help those people. You and I both know that the bud that comes from this will not be the dankest bud ever, but it will sure as fuck be more potent and higher quality than any Mexican Brick you can find. You know?

I suppose your right....... however i still feel its counter productive in the long run ......My mom spent years trying to grow using as little money as possible and was never truelly happy with her results....... In the end she had to fork out the money she didnt want to in the beginning and now shes happy with her results..........If she had just spent the money years ago like i had suggested to her she wouldnt have wasted all that time and money getting results she wasnt even happy with. not only that all the money she did spend on crappy gear had to all be re spent on new propor gear later down the road.....She actually spent MORE money in the long run then if she had just forked out the money in the beginning...... So for her being cheap actually cost her more money not less...........
I do see what your saying ............but at the same time i feel i have a valid point aswell.......

for some its not just about the cost...its about stealth...if you dont have the head space..you cant fit a hps or hid in a grow box...not to mention the heat issues.in my case its not about the money...when i owned my house i had 6 1000 watt hps...now im in a condo that has quarterly inspections...so i cant grow like i used to...i had to go more stealth.so i saved my money on lights,co2 generators,inline fans,carbon filters...and got cfl's...is it the best..no..not by a long shot...but if you look closley on here..those that KNOW how to grow can pull it off without spending a ton of cash...anyone can grow decent plants if they spend a ton of cash...but the people with real talent dont have to spend 1k on a setup...i can show you some cheap ass cfl grown bud that will go up against any big time..big money grows....to me..the people spending $1,000 or more on a grow are the same type of guy that buys a vette when he hits 50...its all a big ego driven prick waving cock fight

Well i manage a prop215 dispensary in Ca and i personally see every strain that comes into the door i talk to the growers and from what i seen i call bolongia on what you said.......I never see top quality A grade cannibas roll in the store from poeple using funky CFL lights and scrapped togeather equipment...... Maybe our idea of top quality differs but when people go to a cannibas dispensary they dont want fluffy funky buds grown for a CFL lights........anyways my point didnt have anyting to do with stealthy ......I live in an aprment and my grow is completly steathy and i use a 1000w light.......so i dont get what your saying by has to be cheap to be stealthy.... infact i think that being stealthy actually cost me more money...I had to buy silencers and sound damping material etc etc,,, being stealthy cost me MORE not less

becuase people growing with cfls dont normally have the giant yields...if they are limited on funds and or space...they are not growing to sell to legal weed slingers...they are growing for personal use...and your cost is that high because your using a high watt light..all that other crap isnt needed with cfl's..inlines/fans to keep it cool..noise reduction...all that isnt needed with cfls.all you need is lights,nutes,medium...your comparisons are pointless..if you want to spend gobs of money on a grow...by all means do it...just dont wave your precious med card around while claiming having to do it stealth...if you in a state where people can grow legally...of course they are not bringing you non-cfl grown plants..so why are you.they dont have to use them..no need to be stealthy if its legal.check out some of the cfl/ghetto grow threads on here...just as good and as big as any other grows on here...again...its not people trying to impress other people...its people growing for the hobby of it...to not pay the god awful prices some people/dispensaries charge

Oh, I 100% agree about just jumping in and doing it, but I think that this is a good "entry level" budget for a grow. Once you can grow well using this method, you should definitely consider getting better gear. However, I'm actually pretty confident that this little setup I made will be yielding some decent bud.

Yea, I mean, it isn't going to be some super dank that will put you in a coma, but it will definitely serve it's purpose if it is grown properly. I wouldn't go as far as saying CFL > HPS or MH, but still. CFL grows (when done correctly) can produce "better than average" quality.

yeah...thats what im saying..yeah hps is better..but thats not the point..not everyone has the space/money to go and blow on weed...for most its just a hobby...i mean damn..its herb..dont take the shit so seriously

If you have the $, you should definately consider purchasing better equipment. It is completely pointless to grow with CFLs if your intention is to produce "super high quality" bud. You will grow decent bud, but it won't be the quality that is produced using HPS. My method here is simply to get people started with bag seed and a twenty dollar bill. It's a rather cool concept. It is meant to inspire people. My intention of posting this thread wasn't really to show you how to "just save money". It's also about the ultimate goal: To show people how easy it is to grow with minimal investment. Once you find the need to upgrade to better equipment, you will be ready to make educated decisions on what gear to purchase based on your space available and environmental conditions for cooling. This is a perfect thread to share with people who are looking to "get their feet wet".

i just dont get why people come on threads like this just to put down the way they grow...great..your surrounded by top quality weed..yippy..im proud of you...i guess people dont get that some people have kids,bills,....a life...and dont want to spend tons of money on growing.thats why there needs to be threads like this so the ego boosting growers can do their own thing and let the "small time" growers do their thing...maybe i should go around to all the big grow op threads and tell them they are doing it wrong just becuase they dont do it like i do

Don't take it too personally. I know exactly what your'e talking about though. People who pop in just to remind you that CFLs suck. It's kinda tacky, but I know that not all of them do it just to rub it in your nose. I think some people just have a have a hard time sharing their experience in a tactful manner. Honestly, I don't think anyone who has contributed thus far has been too terribly troll-ish.
It's really all about how much money you have, plain and simple. But as far as the better bang for your buck, this grow would be perfect for anyone wanting a quick, easy, and affordable method to grow.

This has to be the gayest thread ever. Sorry but you started it two months ago and there hasn't been one picture or actually advice that your supposed to be " diseminating to the broke masses"
you should be 2-3 weeks from harvest by now and all you got is a thread full of nuh-uhs and ya-huhs.
Like the other guy said, cfl buds suck balls. Don't risk being arrested to grow weak ads shag bud. Let the guys with the capital to start a real grow room provide you with buds that will get you laid, not buds that people will laugh at.
Gotta love the Internet for being able to voice your honest opinion.
