Wow, I didn't know there was going to be like three posts in a minute at 5:12 in the morning.
Oh wait, I don't live in Cali =[.
I'm putting about 900 into the project, my caregiver who I'm growing with is going to be matching whatever I put in. So about 2 grand to play with, don't necessarily want to spend it all if we don't have to. I have no idea what lights or ventilation. I guess I should be reading into that too. Sorry, I do most of my research into the plant itself so a lot of this is new to me, the plants are prettier to look at than buckets lol.
lol , awesome
there are soo many ways in growing cannabis
from top feed , aeroponics , deep water culture , aquaponics , flood'n'drain , soil , neutral medium etc etc etc.....
$2000 is alot of money and should set you up nicely
with a complete set up
all im going to say is , dont flower with cfl's
waste of time
although they are really good for vegetation
just not for flowering , please
lol
there are 2 types of lightings
"metal halide" only used for vegetating
"high pressure sodium" used for flowering as well as vegetating
id go for just "HPS"
saves money
600watts HPS would be fine for your grow
ventilation is a must
and doesn't come cheap but you do need it
