This is my first grow, so all help is greatly appreciated. I really like the incredible help all you experts impart on use 'grow virgins', there is no aloof and snide remarks, just great advice in a well explained manner.
I am on a very tight budget and have managed to get all my equipment for about AUD $300. I got a 1m x 1m x 2m Tent, this came with a CFL light a pretty poor LED. I managed to get a cheap second hand Viparspectra 300w LED to be my main light at present, I will add to that when funds permit. I am using clay balls in hydro basket for my little lady.
I popped my first seeds in about 4 weeks ago, they both sprouted very rapidly, but a suprise frost killed them both. I put another bean in on the 1st September and she popped up 3 days ago, I have a heater in the tent at the minute as we are having a really cold Spring and its been down to 3°C at night and the LED's don't produce enough heat to keep the room warm. I have another two beans in Jiffy Pellets waiting to break the surface at the minute, they are in the tent with the little baby.
I will post some pics when I work out how to attach them.
Look forward to sharing my experience and learning all about the science of growing from some obviously very skilled growers here on the Forum.
The seeds are Fast Buds Girl Scout Cookies.
I am growing for medical reasons, I had a bad accident over 5 years back, leaving me with Chronic Regional Pain, nerve damage in my leg and PTSD. I am sick - literally - of taking Opiates (which I am now very dependant on) and Psychiatric medications that also have terrible side effects. I used to smoke weed years back, but recreationally not medically. I have tried it as a replacement for my meds on and off over the past couple of years and found it to be excellent, but supply issues have meant I have always ended up back on the nasty pills. So hopefully this will mean an end to the pills and the beginning of a happier and healthier existence.
Look forward to your input.
