THE HARDEST thing to do, is to get started. Now this is for the Simi serious folks. Costs are under 500 clams for equipment! Dude that's cheap!! For the exception of a tent or room ventilation, very important that there is good understanding..... that's it's a gonna get hot! But budget gives a humidifier a small heater, a fan, seedmat with controls, pots, container, dirt and even Root enhancer.
De humidifier, a/c etc, etc are not included in budget. Think Vivosun and Amazon to buy.
315cmh light kit for under $200.
Root Enhancer @Kelp4less.com.
There are more and more crazy, lucky and absurd claims of having the best way ever to START. Let's say seeds.
The very best way to get any grow started....
Seeds: using a UVA Bulb, yes a UVA BULB. Take a small plastic container with a plastic grill of some sort that fits into container. Place grill so it has a slight slope resting at bottom. Place a water or solution soaked paper towel, folded to fit over grill. Keep about an inch of water or soaking solution I suggest.
Now, if your smart, use a product at kelp4less.com for soaking and feeding, the Root enhancer there is above board.
Now, soak seeds for a day, keep in dark area.
Now, place seeds on higher side of grill. Top of container should covered but not be sealed! Place seed mat underneath with a short gap between container and pad (so they will not fry.)
Immediately use UV light. The UVA Bulb should be in to 60-80watt at 385 nm area so you do not need to be so close, 40 watt might fry because it simply cannot get close enough!
Buy a bloody LUX meter for pete sake!
Now lower until you reach 1150LUX. Run for 15 minutes only! You see the magic number is 385nm, which is also.....PAR. Multiply PAR by 3.05 and you get 1150lux.
May have to open container when doing so, might get too hot...
Then they stay completely dark for another 23 hours and 45 minutes.
If using kelp4less, will pop in 24-48hrs! Second day, same thing 15 minutes. Keep at 78-81°, Place seed pad thermometer inside container, on grill.
You could continue on for days like that, they will continue growing.
After that, plant in 4" pots, not for plugs, they get too long!
Using a 315CMH at 4k lux with humidity at 75RH at 78-81° for pots.
If temps are kept correctly, if humidity and lights are kept in place, (unless a problem occurs and you need to lift em) then you will have a genuine, cheap and easy way of getting what you want "In The Beginning."
