DIY Cheap Noob Indoor Amnesia Haze grow

Ok, so first of all I am still pretty noob at this. This is the start of my second growth, the first growth was a test of my setup on a "blueberry" canuk seed that came for free when I bought the RQS Amnesia Haze. I did got a nice harvest, very potent (for my taste at least) and with a very fruity smell (its true, it does really taste like blueberries!). The whole premise of this growth is use the cheapest/most cost-effective tools I can, while at the same time being noob friendly (cause I am still learning myself). I dont want to spend too much money/time/effort on this growth, besides the initial investment to set up everything. Actually, it was kind of the point, I really didnt have the time or money to go out and buy expensive equipment or nutes for growing what might end being a death plant (cause of lack of experience, and I did almost killed the blueberry by overfeeding), and I just wanted to give it a try to see if I like growing plants (spoiler alert, I did! I now also have lettuce and peppers growing outdoors). I decided to create this diary, the investment involved with growing your own cannabis is generally a barrier to get started. Maybe others can be inspired by a cheapo approach, with decent results and dip their toes into this magical world. Here is my setup which you could see in one of the pictures: 1. My nutrients are what you would buy for garden plants or even grass. I only supplement with epsom salt (MgSo4) and eggshells on vinager (Ca + H2O). You will see in the picture that they are bought on the dollar store always around 3 CAD ( I have one that is 15-30-15 and another that the bag is not in the picture of 15-0-15). ( I actually only used about 15% or less of each bag on the first growth). 2. Growing tent was made by lining the corners of a room with aluminium foil/cardboard to create a closed environment for when I have to flower in darkness and to bounce the light back inside a little bit, I added a CPU fan for airflow. 3. The LEDS are actually cheap COBs from china (bought in aliexpress for about 4 CAD each [full spectrum, 3500K 50W each of the 4 for a total of 200W], and I bought some CPU heatsinks from the same site for about 6 CAD each). I literally held them together with sticks and tape but it worked, so I am happy about that. I also have them on a dollar store auto timer to control ON/OFF time. 5. The only other tools that I did bought were a EC/ppm meter and a pH meter also from china for about 5 cad total. As I noob, I sure as hell had no idea how to feed a plant, and how to tell the pH of my water with the limus paper (I guess I am kinda colorblind). With these meters (which I bought at week 4 of flowering of the blueberry growth, because I simply couldn't figure out if I was giving too little or too much nutrients) one can make sure that the water being fed to the plants is appropriate, check the runoff of the water to make sure that the soil isnt retaining too many salts and needs flushing, and to see when you are done flushing also! 6. Soil is cheap dollar store soil. The cheapest I could find. Right now my seedling just came out of the seed, so I haven't gotten it into the growing tent, it sits in my desk directly below a dollar store LED bulb, about 15W (1500 lumens). I will move it to the tent when it gets bigger and can handle more light, (cause why waste 200W when a 15W can do a decent job at starting a seedling?). Sure, during this growth you will see many practices that might be not "optimal" or that might lower the yield in comparison with others, but the key here is convenience, low investment in time and effort and low footprint in my room. You could comment so others can learn alternate ways of growing! That being said, it is just my second growth, and its a seed from a different breeder, different strain, sativa, not indica, and I am bound to run into some problems because of that. Anyhow, if you decide to hop along for the ride (which I hope ends with a nice harvest), I welcome you and your comments, as long as they are constructive ;). Update 16/06/20 ** P.S. I am only watering about 150ml of 6.5 pH water when the soil around the base of the stem changes back to a the color it had when it's dry (about once a day, you might need to increase water volume or frequency in the next weeks). You can also touch the surface of the soil and make sure it is not wet. It's important to let the roots breath by cycling between wet and (somewhat) dry soil. *** Also, I pH my water by doing drops of vinegar until reaching the desired level. **** It's best to leave the water uncovered for 24h to let the chlorine evaporate before giving it to your soil, in my opinion even if you are using powdered or liquid nutes it's a good idea to try to minimize your impact to the complex soil ecosystem as much as possible. An undisturbed and nurtured soil is a happy living soil that will protect your plant from your own mistakes. ******Also, if you have a window sill that receives a lot of sun you can use that instead of the led bulb to get started. You will know that your seedling needs more light if it's begging to grow taller and thinner instead of growing the leaves fatter. In that case, dont worry, just get more light (under a stronger light source or closer to the light) and add a bit more soil around the stem, so it will be supported, anyhow, the stem will eventually develop its own roots when surrounded by moist soil. ******For the first week of care (and for several others) you will only need to spend a few minutes a day to take proper care of your plant. My routine is to check the color of the leaves and the overall growth of the plant for a minute, pH the unclorinated water I left the day before, then water the plant and refill the water container for the next day. That's all you need to do. I occasionally stare at the plant, take pictures, imagine how it might smell during flowering, etc... but that is optional, however the more you know your plant, the easier it will be to notice when something is wrong. >>DISCLAIMER<< Please be at least as careful with electricity as you would be with fire. You should know what you are doing around it. If you dont feel confident enough to wire your own system (i.e. electric outlet to fuse to light array) please seek advice. I think is very simple to do, but also very simple to get wrong and burn your damn house down! I will assume you dont want to burn down your house, so please do things properly, or buy a light fixture that you trust.
