This is a throwback post to my very first grow. Due to not knowing what I was doing at all, and being an expat in a non-legal country, I tried to go small and very discreet while also not spending a lot of dough. The result, a total redneck setup growing in a modified trash can. The end harvest, while not bountiful, still gave me 9 grams of Northern Lights that got me hooked on the growing train.
My setup was:
Soil - Universal potting soil found at local store. Looks like a combo of soil, sphagnum moss, etc.
Seed - ILGM Northern Lights Auto
Water - Tap water from the faucet.
Nutrients - Generic plant nutrients from the local store. NPK of 6-3-6 for veg, and 3-2-5.5 for flowering.
Lights - 2 85W CFLs meant for photography.
Location - A 60L black trash can
Ventilation - 2 small USB computer fans in the lid blowing out, and passive vent holes towards the bottom.
Pics of the operation are below.
