Decided to start planting my own Mary Jane. My plants only have 4 or 5hours of direct sunlight and I made a set up with few house lamps to compensate the lack of natural lighting, started doing it 3 weeks ago.

I’ve learned a bit about brewing my own mycorrhizae and just started adding to my soil ( I’mplaying around a bit with substrates and compost)...

Besides that, I’m training my plants a lot in my very own style. And I built a very easy “growroom” to keep them at night...

Next week I will finally start the 12 - 12 circle and see what happens...

That setup......... oh boy......

Listen please understand what I am about to say is the exact facts.

You will not get anything worth a damn from that. At all. Those lights will not work for flowering. They barley work for veg.

I suggest you go buy some bud. Smoke it and ponder what you are doing.

Reconsider setting your house on fire over an eight that will take you 16 weeks to grow, 2 weeks to dry and 3 months to cure.

Get an actual setup or wait for summer.

I understand bro, you have your point.

There are many different realities in the world, I’m sure you understand that. I’m from Brazil and things got pretty much fucked up down here. The economy is crushed with the pandemic. And I’m a chef, Working from home ( I have a small online bakery ), struggling to survive and make cash. Got it?

I bro my own herbs and spices and decided to give a shot with some good seeds that a friend gave me.

It’s a good way to first uderstand how to handle the plant. Maybe in the future I’ll be able to invest in proper equipment, nutrients and genetics...

Thanks for the words

I understand. Shits all whacky out there. I'm a big fan of the fighters that come from Brazil. I follow them closely and the stories they tell about Brazil are rough.

I'm not going to tell you you can make magic with that set up as I won't lie to you. I won't tell you it's not dangerous electrical wise.

But I will tell you I get it. For flower at least try to get yellow lamps in there. More watts the better. Its not going to make a word of difference but it will help a bit.

Don't fall into the belief the equivalent is the actual watts. The actual watts makes a difference.

Thanks bro.. we will survive despite everything what’s going on... I bought the right eletric cable to avoid overheating or short circuits, the only thing that worry me is the police, that’s why I decided to build a hiding place.

I bought few very cheap grow led lamps ( 3 of 28w, red and blue spectrum) and also a 100w full sectrum, very cheap as well, I’m waiting for it to arrive .. while those hqppen I’ll keep them in veg, actually I forced them to reveg untill the leds arrives..
