Few years ago i had the idea to try to grow! I was not smoking so this was more or less just the experiment.
After reaching out to mr google, i saw that grow equipment was very expensive.
Few days later i decidet that i will try to build grow “tent”. I went to store and got some styrofoam (xps not eps). On the inside i put tinfoil (i know its not the best idea).
The grow space was 60x60x120m.
For ventilation i used very basic vko120 vent (190m3).
Lights:
At first i tryed CFL trilite 200w dual spectrum. And after test run for about 8min, the bulb exploded :O the seeds were already germinating so i needed to get new lights asap. I saw tneon from secret jardin, 2x55w so i took them. THey worked very well. U CAn put the lights just a few cm above the plants. Later i add anothe lamp.
I germinated the seeds in papper towel and put them in soil after 72h. NEXT MORning i was very happy when all the seedlings were out of the soil.
Everything together costs me less then 200€.
Btw sorry for my bad english.
