Vivid Dreamer Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Im really looking forward to learning from all the experienced growers on here. My interest in gardening was sparked by my late grandmother whom i always helped in the garden. Ive been growing vegetables and ornamentals outdoors on my own for the past 2 years, but this Im new to growing my own medicine. I suffered a serous accident a couple of years ago which almost left me paralyzed. The accident required surgery and inserting of prosthetics. I was not happy at all with quility of medicine i was getting , and i also i had no clue whereit came from or what went into it. One of the reasons i chose to grow my own. No looking now! Made tons of mistakes from burning seeds to overwatering. I harvested two autoflowes being an amnesia haze an OG kush, one of which finished off the size of my middle finger We live and learn right Currently running the following photoperiods in an indoor grow setup with very basic equipment as im on a budget: -Dirty Kush breath , Frosted apricots(in house genetics) -gorilla glue -gelato -Golden Cheese (Farmacy seeds) Dont think my lights are poweful enough. Im using a chinese led with two panels from my herb stand for supplemental light. Had a super long veg, and ended up with small plants. Here are some pics of my girls (dont laugh). Im honestiy just hoping to get to the finish line of my first grow. Hopefully i dont make the same mistakes on my next run. I only recently(final weeks of flower) used a lux meter and found that im so far below the light levels required and i feel like kicking myself. Id appreciate recommendations for a budget friendly light for my grow? Thanks for the welcome. Its great to be part of a growing community like this. Haha my wife is sick of listening to my cannabis tales 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzcanna Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Looks great in there ! The only thing is as you know when budget permits it is to invest in stronger lights, yes they can be pricey but they will pay you back in the long run with bigger and fatter buds for a few years.
