hey ppl, im a new grower, and this is my first crop, just thought id share my methods and progress...
my growing setup is made with no budget at all, and just what i could find around my house, its a large cardboard box (from a weight bench) with white paper on all the walls and tinfoil on the floor and ceiling, the lighting is just a regular 100 watt lightbulb, the plant is growing in a 5 gallon pail and potting soil (big thanks to my neighbor for that) it drinks filtered water with a bit of sugar mixed in, the plant is about 8-10 weeks old and gonna be put onto 12/12 light for flowering tomorow. i also have a clone started in a smaller box, both seem to be happy and healthy and on there way to makin me some buds :) please dont laugh or nothin, its all i got, but im planning on upgrading my setup after i get a couple harvests in and have a bit more experiance... would be a shame to build a nice setup and not be able to grow anything in it. any tips or anything that might help would be good, keep in mind i have NO money to spend on this... yet... thanks for readin, happy growin

yes, both boxes have vent holes cut on the top and a fan moving air at the tops of the boxes, its on whenever lights are on. as for yeild and strain not to sure i got the seed out of a bag i was told was white rino... the weed didnt smoke like rino but its was realy good either way... idk if this is even possible but if someone could identify what strain it may be that would help, judging by the size of the plant im hoping for atleast a couple ounces, but its my first grow, i could be way off

100w light he may not need to add any cooling although you cant go wrong with it. Nice job with no money spent though !

Since you got no money, but YOU ARE going to need nutes for flowering heres a good recipe.

half an egg
half a bananna
distilled water

Mix it up and stir good

Strain it MULTIPLE times to insure no large food chunks or anything are living in the water.

Feed away.
