Cheapest way to grow?

[billygoat]

outdoor is the cheapest way by far.  Since that is not possible for you, you are going to have a bit of an outlay.  Keep an eye on gumtree and the like, people sell second hand gear quite cheaply.

Heres a maybe idea. If you have a tent you can put up in the garage then you should be able to put cheap lights in it and a fan without hurting your hands too much and the kids can help. Just use soil if you have a garden if not most areas have community gardens and its normally free compost as well. Once you need dark hours just tape the window up if there's 1 in the garage. Most tents have ventilation these days.

Just control yourself though. It can become addictive and next thing you know you'll be growing strawberries, veggies, Aloe, keeping worms etc. All sorts of life changing things can happen to you if you grow just one plant to see what it's like.

 

I think that's why they call it the gateway plant. At least it happened that way for me anyway.

 

Just be aware the first time may be a bit tricky but don't lose hope and my advice is stick to soil no matter what anyone tells you or tries to sell you.

Mulch

Then mulch the mulch. Continuously. It can just be weeds that you tear up and put on top daily. Keep it moist. You'll be kicking back enjoying your harvest one day but it takes patience which I sometimes lack.

THIS. I was already a bit interested in gardening but once I started tending to some beautiful flowers, I was pumping out strawberries, tomaeties, growing roses, hedges, worm farm, compost, installed irrigation in the 2 yards.

 

I was surprised how easy it was to get top notch strawberry sugar production and size!

Yes and the taste is amazing! I eat daily in my garden and only have a few in pots until I get my beds happening. Reap the rewards!

Ok thanks guys for all your help!! I’m following the Stoned Jesters example and have a wardrobe 50 x 60cm 1.92 high, some CFL’s to wire up, a fan, a few pots, 10 Afghani Kush seeds with 2 bonus triple cheese so hopefully by the end of the weekend I’ll be growing. Going to be a challenge to start with from a wheelchair but looking forward to the rewards. Cheers

great idea!

I too started in a small wardrobe, def the cheapest way to get growing - stoned jester's grows, prove you can grow decent smoke with minimal outlay

 

how many seeds do you plan on starting?

and

do you have a back up plan if all the seeds you start are females?

[purplehazed1]

Great to hear MT!! How are your grows going? I know that the triple cheese are females so I’ll pop one of them and probably 3 of the AK in the hope that at least 1 is a girl

I have a small tent in my closet, but before I purchased it I was thinking another route. Google: Space Bucket Cannabis Grow. Lots of info and uses cheap components: 20L buckets, CFL lights from Bunnings, etc. Soil , rather than hydro, can be done very cheaply if you aren't aiming for massive yields or cup winning buds. If you try to use every product & gadget suggested on the net, it gets complicated fast. Keep it simple and you'll get something that will make you feel better. Research seed strains, because that is your foundation. Lots of helpful people here.
