Hi there guys I hope your all doing well.
I have a £500 budget for a grow i want to do but will this amount be sufficient enough for a 6 plant grow and have any of you guys done a grow with roughly this amount of money before and how much have you yielded.
I want maximum yield for personal use.
what equipment's do you guys recommended buying regarding the tent and lights and what dimensions would be suitable, also my ceiling is up to 158.75 cm.
The strain is Glookies a wonderful strain.
Also what fertilizer and what nutrients do you recommend and how much of this would i need?

Nutrients is a personal rescission most are fine biggest choice is organic or chem if in soil make sure ya use soil nutrients and great soil if you start with good soil you won’t need nutrients in the beginning chemical frets are fast uptake and can kill plants in excess some organics can too best to use less then the recommended unless they need more
Temperature is important try to stay below 80 lights on and above 60 lights off sativas deal better with high heat indicas with cold humidity high in bed low in flower no lower than thirty happy growing

I make my own but pro mix and fox farms are good fox farm tends to run a little hot so not for seedlings in my opinion. 80 degrees 80s are high and slow growth and you should
Grab a ppm neater and a ph meter good ones they will help you mix your nutes a lot easier tent was 2x4 you can get bigger I would dent get smaller I also grow with a cheap led now it preforms decent and was cheap hollandstar x6 I now grow in a closet with no exaust and the heat is still ok

ok but i have a problem my growing space height is 62.5cm and ideally i would like a pound per plant any tips or suggestions on this .
Also what size pots should i get and how many do you think i will fit inside the tent dimensions that you would recommend for 6 plants. any links to the tents would be even better.

A lb per plant is hard usually and you will need a very powerful light to pull it off or lots of lights which will increase heat so berry strong ventilation cooling and a host of other things.......that being said if it’s your first grow all is possible but you will need your grow dialed in almost perfect you need to learn to grow healthy strong plants first and also learn to train Scott and pick a really high yielding strain also first plant I got four ounces I was quite happy and I didn’t have any major issues not trying to discourage you but growing is a journey like chess takes moments to learn and a lifetime to master always more to learn

I also vote Jack's classic and air/fabric pots. No coco. Foxfarm soil straight outta the bag or hardware store topsoil mixed with perilite. I have flowered dozens of 9-12"/5-15g clones in 1l airpots, can water daily or every other day... Never over or under watered! Seems to control stretch, but make vegging take longer.

Really good for beginners or lazy people. Also it's only $20 to get veg and flower nutrients that are ready to go! Not ~$200 like multi-bottle stuff can be.

The Jack's classic+ Epsom salt makes my tap water PH perfectly, so I get consistent results. Consistency, PH and climate control are more important than nutrients for a first time grow.

I went from 12? Part nutrients to Jack's classic+Epsom salt+humic acid. Probably won't go back unless I get more wattage. Not worth the effort or expense to me for a small grow.
Jack's is solid.
