Hi all
So after lots of reading about some really fancy grow tents and hydro set-ups, at some point I thought of the opposite tactic: What is the least you could spend to grow autoflowers indoors successfully?
So I bought an adjustable curtain rod, a black opaque curtain, and a $29 wardrobe thing that had lots of tubs and connectors I could build a light tower with. I set it up in a niche in our laundry room. The whole thing costs $55 to set up. It was ghettotastic, but my roommate hated it. So as a compromise I de-ghettoed a tiny bit and bought a cheap tent for my room. I wish I still had my contraption set up, but the tent was only $15 more. Ill attach pics of the original frankenstein set up.
Prices include shipping(if any). I also converted to usd from euro.
a cheap 1m x 1m x 2m tent off amazon for $69
a 1500w led off ebay for $75
a second 1200w led off amazon for $65
15 three gallon fabric pots off amazon for $30
6 bags of 20l soils at $1.50 each, total $9
3 bags, 10l each, of clay stones at $4 each, total $12
2 table fans off amazon for $15 each, $30.
1 bathroom outlet fan for $23 (inline fans are very expensive here for some reason)
1 roll of flexitube 3m $10
1 carbon filter $35
1 timer $12
power strip/extension cord $10
1 set of bungie cords $6
4 sets of easy rollers $20
10 GG#4 auto seeds $40
1 Hesi indoor starter pack $14
Total $460
Gorilla Glue goes for about 12-17 euro a gram in a coffeeshop depending on quality. If on a good day you could get an ounce for $230, the grow would need to net 2 ounces to break even.
Planted 9 on Jan 12 (1 did not germinate - 9 remaining)
Jan 17 seedling stage
Jan 31 Veg stage ( 2 runts were culled - 7 remaining)
Feb 14 Pre flower
Feb 24 Flowering

DAY 43
