$20 Dollar Grow Room (Design on a dime)

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

I didnt come into the thread to put anyone down......Im just offering a different perspective here.......IMO its better to spend more upfront and get good equiment then started off with as little as possible.....ITS MY OPINION i post it because i want people to know that they have options and that spending 20 bucks on a grow yes is cheap but if your like me you dont want to expermient for years tell you get it how you want it. if your like me you want to spend the money up front and have a GREAT yeild on your FIRST GROW.......now some may want to go your way and only spend 20 bucks and try and turn nothing into somting but i know theres people who will benifit from doing it right the first time and those are the people i post for not you i already get that you think CFL and 20 bucks its good i get it.....I However think its a joke and would laugh at any grow put togeather on 20 bucks.......

If people want to do it your way thats fine it wont hurt me i only speak up agiasnt you for the people who are on the fence and only see your point of veiw well now they see my point of veiw too and they can make up there OWN mind....but dont jump in and act like im not suppose to disagree with you as if its a personal attack on you......

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.

suck balls lol yes like i said i work at a dispensary if CFL's were so great then all my venders would be using CFLS.....lol

HPS is so amazing and cfl is such crap I couldn't grow a houseplant under a cfl LOL HPS makes me get so hard when I see a light and it can never make plants stretch and any bud grown under it comes out as the best bud ever I mean it's scientifically proven. I work at three dispensarys and when someone brang in bud grown under a cfl I tested it and it was so amazing but then he told me it was cfl so I just threw it away.

/sarcasm

This thread is a fail, and the user who started this crap is just wasting all of your time, hes a fucking hack!!!!!

Anyone else got ideas? Kinda lame on the activity-O-meter.

Digging the frugal approach GreenNerd.

As for suggestions, do what I do, look in skips/dumpsters. Repurpose things, just generally improvise.

My cab that I'm in the process of building at the moment has cost me very little.

I apologize. My priorities somewhat shifted as of recently. I can assure you that while I was growing using this system, it rocked. I am very sorry for not getting back with you all. My paranoia has been pretty wicked lately. I suppose it's a phase, and I hope that it stops soon.

Why? I listed what I wanted to use to grow with, I listed prices, and I built the "pod". It works...

Dude, I built the kit that I was set out to build. I haven't had anyone asking me for any "advice" at this point. Just pictures. I am currently on the hunt for a new job, wife's preggo, and I'm working on my real grow room. Yes, I haven't been up keeping my "20 dollar budget thread" as far as posting actual pictures of the plants. I realize that this may be crushing for some people, but it's simply not a huge priority right now. That's all.

And furthermore, if you're in a fucking thread who's title is "$20 Dollar Grow Room (Design on a dime)", do you think anyone has the intention of using HPS. I could give a fuck less if you're impressed with CFLs or not. I could care less. It is inevitable that a majority of first time growers will use CFLs, and this thread's intention was to show people how to get the biggest bang for their buck, and obviously you missed that point.

This little grow setup compared to a 600w HPS is like comparing apples to oranges. I didn't title the thread, "How to grow pro rated bud with a limitless budget". So fuck off with your arrogant assumptions. I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else here. Sorry I "let you down". Perhaps you shouldn't look at threads with such "misleading" titles?

Gotta love the internet for being able to voice your honest opinion.

FAIL FAIL FAIL..Threads are worthless without pics, backing your great story!

$20 may be a little much to ask for, but making a functional grow box for the bedroom doesn't have to be expensive. $100 and you can grow top notch bud in a 3x2x3.5 box without a problem. HPS, hydro, and two crystal haze clones. I've got two rubbermaid storage totes, one on top of the other, as my grow area. Got a 120 watt hps in the top with one inlet and one outlet computer fan supplying air and keeping it cool. A simple Ebb and Flow hydro system has the little girls booming. Just gotta do some topping and training to spread out the canopy, but should get easily an ounce. And dank looking weed at that. So YES, it is possible.

My first grow was in a window an it costed less than 20$ But it was worth way more in terms o knowledge an experience.
My grow box is buit for 90$
I grow GREAT bud in it.
Low dollar = big proffit.
Heres a pic of my lil ladys since threads are worthless with out a pic, lol.

I have seen guys do small grows with T-5s that put my shit to shame with small HIDS.
If you dont believe me check this guy out hes a NINJA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkIRyjN29cE Best cfl grower I ever seen.

Cfls are also great for New growers, once they see what a HID can do, an they got the space, theyll usualy switch over.
No need to Bag on them.
Im kind of let down by you experienced growers, rather than sharing knowledge, an help, all you do is Bitch an act like haters.

Some of the un helpfull condicending posts piss me off.
I think we have a responsibility to help new growers by kindly sharing knowledge, not by treating them like Lamos cause they are just starting an want to learn how to grow before any big investments.

Cheep is were it all starts.

you can grow for real cheap, its called using the sun

A poster of the sun is hard to beat.....used one last grow. Heat was a bit of an issue but I managed............

Why not combine two crafts? Growing and brewing. You can buy 5 gal. buckets of grape juice and make some nice wine. Very easy to do. Pipe the CO2 from the air lock on the wine to the plants. The wine should be ready about the same time as the smoke. About 5 gal. of wine with some good bud sounds like a real party to me

wow can't believe yall actually wasting your time on a 20$ grow. It's the biggest waste of time this dude should really be bored or something or really broke. anyone growing with cfl is wasting their time. if your not using a mh, hps, led, induction light you are a fool! like someone said in a previous post... might be good for veggin a mother but other then that its a big waste!!!

Coming into a thread titled $20 dollar grow, and then bashing CFLs is also a waste of time... This grow is to get someone setup with the basic elements required to grow. Once they can grow using the kit I setup, they should be fine using HPS or MH. This kit is really just setup to show people that you can grow decent bud with little investment. A lot of people may only want something just to smoke and not have to worry about setting up a self contained ventilation system or purchasing an HPS kit that costs +$100. If you read the entire thread, you wouldn't be making comments like this.

i scanned thru 9 pages on non sense.... I think its much more misleading then anything. a beginner should start with 250w hps minimum.... I personnally would give em a 400 what to put in their closet with a couple pots and a bathroom fan to suck the hot air out. with some pots and soiless mix and some a & b product. They can add additives as they learn or i can recommend a few if they absolutely want it. you cannot be ready to grow with bigger lights from using cfl's and a cheap ass setup... I think a smaller setup similar to a regular one is the best bet of learning how to upgrade after... after using your method he still wont know about intake and exhaust or how close to put the bigger lights to his plant... he will be confused about how to control the heat etc... these are the things you want to expose a beginner to so he learns and can be a 4x4 tent after with the knowledge already in hand just applying it to a bigger setup.

I agree, but you first need to understand the plants prior to using that equipment. All-in-all, there is no "right or wrong" way. It's all about preference. I preferred to spend next to nothing on my first grow venture, and then started purchasing higher end equipment.

to each is own but I would never tell someone to go that route. if you dont have 200$ to invest plus some good seeds for 50 to 60$ your not teaching him anything that could make him better later. but hey grow on have fun!
