Hi guys
I apologise for the long horribly written post, it wasn't planned, just kinda happened. I've added TL;DRs and marked them in green, and my question is at the bottom after the red bit.
A little back ground, coz my intro post was crappy (they always are)...
I use to be the responsible guy between all my friends, well relatively. So I never really took to alcohol, and never smoked weed.
Late in 2013 a close friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer, and they pretty much told her there is nothing they can do (just so everyone knows, shes fine now, some weird experimental chemo sorted her shit out), so I started reading up on possible treatments and came across a ton of info on medical marijuana and how it can help with cancer, not only to relieve the horrible chemo side effects, but actually help treat the cancer. So I started doing research and found out that this horrible plant isn't that horrible at all. As with all things I got curious, especially knowing that everything I had previously "known" was a bunch of crap, and went looking for a semi dodgy looking character who would provide me with a
Well its been more than a year that I've been on "Swazi" (probably horrible quality), but I can smoke it and feel it working, but not be left paralytic, works a charm to tame my temper... Then in December my "guy" sold me a bunch "Durban Poison", which was a completely different kind of high then what I was use to, dare I go so far as to say, rather boring...
But then last week he gave me some "Skunk", and the shit bitch slapped me into a catatonic state of pure snoozing bliss *Please note that all strains are placed in "" coz you never really know what you are getting.
Think that covers my weedy journey so far.
Now I've had one or ten half assed attempts at growing my own, but it's never worked out, due to lack of research and not knowing where to buy the right equipment, and also getting stoned and forgetting what I was suppose to be doing Now it is yet again time to attempt my own grow, but this time I'm armed with more knowledge and more resources, and having smoked something that hit me like a train means I'm much more motivated to grow my own, so I can sample proper quality!
TL;DR Had good weed, want more now
First things first, my budget is not amazing so things are going to happen in phases as monies are available, though I would like to run my genral plan by you guys to hear what you think
I have an absolute ton of bagseed, mostly "Swazi" some "Durban Poison" and a few "Skunk", so until I'm happy with my setup I'll be experimenting with the "Swazi" seeds.
I have a fairly large Wendy that I can use, but its too big to turn the whole thing into a grow room. I'm thinking a tent inside the Wendy. EG:
Size of tent will be determined at a later stage (Need to go measure the damn wendy...) which will then also influence the lighting requirements. I'm thinking LED, due to the low heat and power consumption, might want to eventually solar power the grow.
I've also decided on going deep water culture. I realise that straight up soil will be cheaper, but I find hydro grows fascinating and DWC seems pretty simple to pull off.
So thats kinda the plan.
TL;DR Tent in wendy, LED lighting, simplistic deep water culture hydro setup. Will be using dodgy bagseed while I'm mastering the basics.
I plan on sourcing the needed goodies for my DWC setup this weekend so that will be when the fun starts. I have been looking at a couple of instructables and things, seems easy enough...
Now finally onto my question
I have two Eurolux 45w CFL globes from a previous failed grow. Can I actually use these in my new project? And if so for how long will I be able to use them before I really NEED to look into something decent?
