: : hey i need help on how to start my own plant please help me
GET A BOOK AND LEARN! POT IS EASY TO GROW. GO TO HOME DEPOT AND DO SOME RESEARCH SO YOU WILL KNOW HOW MUCH IT'LL COST YOU FOR EQUIPMENT OR CHECK OUT ONE OF THE MANY SITE ON CULTIVATION OR HYDROPONICS. YOU SHOULD FIRST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CLOSET SPACE, OR A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE IT OUTDOORS, AND READ UP ON THE LAWS IN YOUR AREA TO PROTECT YOURSELF. 'HIGH TIMES' IS A GOOD PLACE TO START. WITH THE MYRIAD OF WAYS YOU CAN GROW, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO READ UP ON DIFFERENT METHODS OF GARDENING AND DECIDE WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU. MY FIRST GARDEN CONSISTED OF 2 80 WATT FLORESCENT SHOP LIGHTS AND A 80 WATT GROW-N-SHOW BULB, AND MY PLANTS WERE GROWN IN POTS CONTAINING LAVA ROCKS, VERMICULITE AND PERLITE THEN AND PLACED IN RESERVOIRS OF WATER CONTAINING FERTILIZER THAT I HAD BOUGHT AT THE HARDWARE STORE. IT WAS AN 20-20-20 N-P-K (LOOK ON THE PACKAGING OF FERTILIZERS AND YOU'LL SEE IT) AND I USED IT AT NORMAL DILUTION. THE PLANTS TOOK OFF AND WERE READY TO FLOWER IN 6 WEEKS. YOU NEED TO KEEP THEM UNDER 24 HRS OF LIGHT DURING THE FIRST STAGES OF GROWTH THEN CUT BACK TO 12 HRS LIGHT, 12 HRS DARK TO INDUCE FLOWERING. KEEP THE ROOM ABOSOLUTELY DARK, OR THEY WILL SUFFER FROM LIGHT POLLUTION. I THOUGHT THE FLOURESCENTS WERE FINE, BUT I HEAR ONLY ABOUT THE HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM, THESE LIGHTS CAN BE BOUGHT AT HARDWARE STORES IN THE SECURITY LIGHT SECTION, BUT THEY ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE AS YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THE BALLAST AND INSTALL IT IN YOUR CLOSET IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU DON'T KILL YOUR PLANTS WITH THE HEAT. HPS COST ABOUT $60.00 AND A 4 FOOT FLOURESCENT WORK SHOP LIGHT IS $8.00, SO BUY TWO AND TRY WITH THAT FIRST IS MY RECOMMENDATION. I STARTED FROM SEED THAT CAME FROM MY STASH, AND THEY ARE JUST FINE, BUT YOU WILL NEED LEARN HOW TO IDENTIFY MALE AND FEMALE PLANT YOU ONLY NEED FEMALES. THE MALES DON'T BUD, BUT THEY CAN POLLINATE YOUR FEMALES IF YOU YOU WANT SEED. ANY WAY, THIS IS A LOT TO GO INTO, BUT THERE ARE A TON OF WEB SITE, DEVOTED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER, SO STUDY UP, IT IS A LOT EASIER TO JUST BY A HYDROPONIC SYSTEM FROM A RETAILER ON-LINE, BUT YOU CAN SAVE A LOT OF MONEY DOING IT YOURSELF AT HOME DEPOT OR LOWES OR SOMETHING, LIKE I DID, MY WHOLE OPERATION COST ME AROUND $60.00 TO START. THANKS HAVE A NICE DAY..
