If I can't play with the free beans I've collected. Then, I'm out. I can't justify purchasing a $7-34 bean to put in a beer cup. I'd rather just do a full sized grow.
I'm running a freebie Barney's LSD or a freebie g13 skunk #1 fem, not sure which as the bonza pack got knocked around a bit and both were in the slot for dr.k ganj nam style, either way it was one bean, one cup, one light. My point in this was to try to do a "first grow" scenario as cheap as possible, my cup was free(McDonald's) my air stone and tubing were $1.99 at the good will(tag still on the pump) and the light is a $45 eBay Chinese no name(330w sunspect full spectrum from lowballer 2 years ago) one quart each an pH perfect Coco a&b bloom and grow(4 qts total) given as freebies at a trade show, one quart of GH armour si ($15) and one quart of an big Bud($20) lights been on 12/12 since start of grow, so probably the cheapest grow I've ever tried, definitely the cheapest that ever worked, pretty sure my 14 year old attempt to grow a bag seed under an incandescent flood light may have been cheaper, but was an utter failure, go figure right?
