Hope you keep growing for many moons to come…
Them built in handles on the Folger’s containers are rather a handy thing to have…
Best of luck…

Yeah, last grow I did was a g13bw x c99 x ghaze that was gifted to me on cannabis world (2003-4)
It’s been a while for sure, hope to make my mistakes early, led from hps I don’t know what to expect and my first time doing auto’s, which back then were not that great

Handy for sure, I have only one working arm 
(disabled budget)
I only have 6-7 grows to my name indoors all done at cw and I used those containers back then also, not sure how much soil they hold, but they always did me good.
I’ll do a few runs with them, see how they do and will probably switch to fabric pots since I’ve never used them and hear good things with them
Yeppers a noob

Hi piper, the many uses of folger coffee containers 
I store sugar trim in mine. You will be better of with the fabric pots, they breath better.
What is the soil your are using, and what are you going to be feeding with?

Hi Shadey, I drilled holes on the bottom and the sides and using ffof and perlite, going with the ff trio for now, want a couple runs in and then might switch to organic with fabric, I’m a little rusty and want to make my mistakes early (I will do a lot of this ).
I probably should get some calmag (what I read with leds)
I don’t care what yield I get with these as long as I have a few bowls/bongs for christmas (I can’t afford to buy some for the next couple of months, ssdi paycheck) I have not missed getting high on christmas eve/day since 1973 and I can’t stop now
I bought seeds at Linda Seeds because of my budget and I like underdogs

I would use gypsum for your calcium and sulphur and Epsom salts (Non perfumed ) for your magnesium, you will get much more for your money. Gypsum will not change the PH of your soil either.

Yeh looks ok to me for 11 days, they got to get some roots down to get going well, week 3-4 and it will start to take off fast.
