Hey guys, this is my first time growing. Been smoking for quite some time now. Me being a college student however, means that im on a very tight budget as far as what i can use in my grow. I have done a hell of a lot of research, mostly on 420 mag, and feel like im headed in the right direction.
Im using 90% mg potting soil and 10% sand, which ive read can be a sub for purlite.
I have a 4 foot shop light from lowes (about 13 bucks) with the fluorescent bulbs, not sure what wattage as i bought and threw away the box before research.
Im using about 3 gallon pots, most likely for the entire grow.
Im using tap water (ph of 7) for now but will be getting ph downer very soon.
Im growing in a clost thats about 4 1/2' X 3'
I have a fan that consists of two 6" fans, on on top and bottom, which is keeping good circulation in my closet.
Room temp stays around 74 degrees.
Im using all purpose mg nutes now but hopefully will be using a more popular brand during flowering.
I am running my lights 24/7 now and am considering a early flowering as I am not 100% positive on strain and do not want to waste much "quality" bud growing time.
Im using a reflective insulation from lowes???? not sure if its good.
I water as needed by moisture and weight.
It is hard to get investors without telling people. But I do need investors which i think i have found a close buddy who now that he has seen my progress is starting to take me seriously and will probably be pitching in. I am thinking about going to 12/12 within the next week knowing my yield will be greatly reduced but im just ready to grow a for sure strain. My seeds supposedly came from blue dream. This site has def been my entire starting point, so i appreciate all of you experienced growers' input and i can just hope to have some advice for my first grow.
