Because Its ..Yours


Welcome to the Passion

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Thanks all, I really feel the care here

This truly is a passion that I've had for years, but never thought of following through with it. I've had the perfect room for over 10 years, just no balls or "know how" to go through with it. I'm not a financially stable person entirely, so creating the room has always been and still will be, the obstacle. Hopefully with everyone help I won't waste much money getting a setup and I'll be able to create a proper working setup and maintain some plants.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Trying to find soil to buy locally, so I'm looking for what I assume is the right mix of stuff. If I'm wrong can you say why and show me to some soil that suits in Home Depot / Walmart / Lowes etc.

Excellent Jimmy James, thank you so much! I'll get them after I get my grow room setup sorted out. So much planning to do, it's a bit daunting. I wish I could afford to just buy a tent!!

 

[Jimmy James]

they have tents also"
Just rember to ask questions about Tomatoes !! Not MJ !

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

LOL Jimmy!!! Cheers for that.

Yeah I'm sure they have tents, I'm just running on a "smallish" budget

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Potentially great news!!

I may be able to come across about $800 in the next few days. I'd have to sell something very dear to me, but it's not a one of a kind, so I could buy it back after harvest easily!

I think $800 would be MORE than enough for a 6 plant 4x4 tent with proper everything! I've got a setup of around $700 already figured out and that's for everything.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Here's something I'm very much considering for my setup. This plus nutes soil and various things should put me in my $800-$850 range.

Its not a bad deal, there are some things there that you dont need like the two 15 watt led lights and sticky traps.

I noticed that, but at the same time, the light / 2 bulbs / duct work / fan / filter / tent / sheers / digi thermo / grow bags / timer / nutes... I think $643 + $92 shipping is a decent deal for all of that. I've been trying to find the parts seperately and price them, but it's all coming just as high as this package with a few less things and all in different places to purchase.

I'm trying to see if a grow store that's over an hour away will "match" that type of deal. I'd rather pick the stuff up myself unless I save over $100 buying separately.

Thanks for stopping by Growdude!

 

[Locked]

Yeah that is not a bad deal at all. Like Growdude said, couple things in there that are not needed.

 

[ShOrTbUs]

i believe they ship by weight, so the price of shipping might not warrant buying from this site. if you try to find all of this on amazon, you will get relatively the same price, but without the outrageous shipping costs

couple measuring cups, some fiskers, zip ties, some good genetics and your ready to rock.

you can save money by building the spaces yourself and not buying tents. i have to mention how convenient tents are though.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Wow, you must have edited your post Growdude.. that's an excellent list!

Thanks for taking the time to check that all out, and yes, I knew some things weren't needed and that I needed more specific nutes. Only thing your list is missing is MP bulb, hah.

I'm still in the market for a setup... $800-$850 for everything.. from seeds, to that list, to soil... I believe that's everything? lol

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

And Hello Shortbus. Thanks for swinging by!

That list looks great, but it's all $200ish over my limit.

yeah, that price isn't including shipping either.

edit: i edited the previous post to better fit your price range

you can build your 2 spaces for about 50$. make your own humidity dome, and there are way cheaper pots out there. smart pots are the best, but a bit expensive.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

So here's the mission if you choose to accept it. I'm trying to do a 4x4 tent with 600w HPS system, fully vented and filtered, in soil with nutes.

Seed, to soil, to everything absolutely needed for a grow... $850


hah

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

I have a place 1 hour from here I'm trying to work a deal out with. We'll see what they have to say... I have $850 to work with, I'm sure I can get going with everything required from there.

 

[ShOrTbUs]

Challenge accepted... shipping included on this one

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Ohhhhhhhhhh :woohoo:
