+1 strainMInimalism...good test!
Those little 12w bulbs are pretty decent, but I found the Sansi 40w bulbs (on Amazon for about the same money) are waaaay more effective veg bulbs, and the white light is much more pleasant to look at.

I popped this amnesia auto freebie as a backup that I no longer need so I decided to try out a minimalist grow on it.
Starting it on a $5 12w(36w equivalent) t-sun led light.
I am using plain old free dirt mixed with about 25% perlite in a 2 gallon container.
I will be using tap water and GH maxi nutrients while it is indoors. Will switch to FREE organic nutrients when it goes outdoors to flower.
I will not be maintaining ph or testing anything unless there are visible issues.
My goal is to see what is possible on this auto with bare minimal cost and maintainance. Basically has all the components to end in disaster...
Soaked seed overnight in tap water then sprouted in rockwool. Transferred to soil on day 2. Watered with plain tap water.
As of day 7 she is not making much progress but she is doing pretty good

@Wicked_Stix, Cool-white CFL's work fine for vegging, as the light contains much blue spectra....just keep them close to the plants. Your 12w light is heavy on the reds, so expect them to stretch early..you might need wooden skewers or something to keep them propped up.

@Silverback_Guerilla, Thanks for checking it out. I was wondering how well it would veg since there are only 3 blue lights. I have a 23w cfl that I will switch to if this one doesnt work.

Congrats on a minimalist killer dwarf!👌
This strain really is worth giving proper care, though.
I finished 3 of them a couple months ago and they are very easy to grow and outstanding to smoke!👈

@Denzul, thanks. Yours looks like she is going to do pretty well! This one ended up being an extra that I didnt have room for so I just wanted to see how well she would do under a cheap light. She wont put out much but I am really surprised how good she is doing considering she is in plain dirt with no ph monitoring or anything.
