I am a fairly new grower. I have a measly 2 grows under my belt and about 7 harvests in total. For the two first grows I bought just about everything you could buy to grow a small amount of good herb indoors. I am starting a new grow and it will not be using any of the old equipment I used in my previous grows. Previously I have used 1x1000w HPS 4x150w HPS 4x150w MH, 2 large tub spray systems and 2 medium tub bubbleponic systems and sensi grow and bloom. This is not those grows...this grow is to see what I can do with only stuff I have around the house basically to see how much you really have to spend to grow (i will start using better equipment but only if I absolutely have to which will mean the experiment was a failure)...I will be using soil from an old pasture that i know is fertile with some non soil mix to help the water drain as the soil can harden up and let water through it easily. For lights I will be using sunlight during the day and CFL at night keeping the light on them 24x7. When inside I will be using a small but powerful desk fan to circulate the air around them. I have had a ton of LEDs i got dirt cheap a while back which i will be wiring up for the switch from CFL to LED. So far the plants had had excellent results. They all started outside from germinated seeds. They were planted and when they got about 3 inches I dug them out and transplanted them into pots. The transplant has affected some of them and unfortunately somehow three grew so close together I would risk killing them all to get at least one out alive. The effects of the transplant however are getting better and hopefully these will turn out OK in the end. Will posts pics daily in a grow journal.
