I've been out of the grow scene for too long now. I had a beautiful crop of Super Silver Haze going. I started them in Nov.03. I injured my leg real bad at the end of Dec though and I had the whole damn crop die! I couldn't get to them to water
So, its been 3+ months that I havn't been able to plant anything cause my usual spot was and is still inaccessable to me.
Anyway, finally after 3 months of waiting, my first disability check came. They screwed me though, and I only got about half of what I should have. I will get the rest, but it's going to be a hassle. So, as of now I have about $400 to spend.
I am going to buy 2 Mill's Pride C22 cabinets and attach them back to back. This will give me about a 4x4ft. area to grow.
So, I was hoping you guys could help me to put together my shopping list. I have to kind of stick to the essentials for the moment, and I will piece together all the cool little gadgets I want as my disability checks come in. Here's what I have so far:
-1 400wt. MH
-PPM meter
-a ton of 4ft. flouros
-1 50wt. HID (not sure if its MH or HPS)
I have more grow equip/ around, like a couple aeroflo60's and some 1000wt. lights. The lights are in use by a friend though, and the aeroflo's do me no good right now cause I can't set them up anywhere where I'd be able to access them. That is why I am going with a grow cabinet. I gotta get something going. I hate being without pot/plants. You gotta have something to do in this boring ass town, and growing is what I choose. It's the best hobby out there!
I was considering selling one of the aeroflo's, or trading it for a nice growbox or something else that would be worth it for me. The aeroflo60's go for over $1000 w/tax, so it'd have to be a reasonable trade. But for now, I'm just gonna use my money and get things going NOW. I am still open to possible trade/sale ideas cause I plan on getting another couple cabinets going when I have the $$.
Anyway, if you guys could help me put together my shopping list, I'd really appreciate it. I need to find some places to get the equipment as cheap as possible cause the less I spend, the more stuff I'll be able to buy (obviously, right?).
If you have cheap sources for fans and lights etc., please share.
I think I am going to run my 400wt.MH for bloom since I allready have it sitting here. As of right now, I was also planning to buy a 430wt. HPS w/the horti bulb to run with the MH for bloom. That would give me about 51wts./sq.ft. I need to decide how to run them though, so they don't bake the damn plants. Should I go with cool tubes, or air-cooled reflectors? I am open to any ideas.
Growing in such a small space is new to me, so any pointers would also be helpful.
Do you guys think I should go w/soil or hydro? I'd like to grow hydro, but I am afraid I won't be able to cahnge the water in the reservoir. Is there an easy hydro method you can recommend?
Well, thanks in advance for any help.
