Hi I'm new to forums in general, ive done all my research from general googling and advice from friends until just now. Ive read through loads of posts theres quite a lot to take in quite yet so thought I'd join up properly and invest a bit more learning time here
I'm 27 and from UK and started growing last year (just normal soil), as I like to smoke much more than my budget. I won't lie I'm doing this with budget equipment. I had hoped to use the money I save by growing, to upgrade my equipment, to save more money and so on. I'm not doing too well …
First grow was 2 pineapple chunk, and 2 kiwi skunk. Pineapple was satisfactory (not very good but I was alright smoking it) but didn't get much of it and the Kiwi was crap. I'd cloned the pineapple chunk and grew 2 more of those, turned out the same plain standard, but with barely anything there. I've only had a 250w bulb, am I right in thinking that's a massive part of the problem? I am using biobloom for flowering during flowering, but have nothing for veg. Another massive problem?
I've currently got 3 blue cheese in veg, and lost 1 laughing buddha before it had 3 sets of leaves. They are kept on the loft windowsill during seedling, moved under a fish tank bulb till they have about 7/8 sets of leaves, then put under my MH 250w for veg 20/4...When flowering they are switched to 250w HPS bulb. I invested what I had in lighting, a carbon filter and building a hidden cupboard in my loft. The carbon filter was budget (£50ish) and isn't really paying off.
So that's me and the boat I'm in, haven't managed to save much, still having to buy. I'd appreciate some advice on whatever blatant mistakes I'm making, and also and tips and cheats for budget growing? Not sure if I've provided enough/too much info here but I've tried lol. Thanks in Advance.
