Compact medical marijuana grow setup on a budget



Equipment

You will first need a container or room to grow your plants in. I will give you an example of the first setup I used to descretely grow my plants, all the parts for it can be purchased at walmart.

Equipment needed-

1. A fairly large trah can, 3 ft high or close to that, with no holes and wide enough to hold as many 6" pots as you want to grow plants

2. An air purifier with charcoal filter

3. 1 or 2 fans to move air in the container

4. 6" pots for the plants

5. Good soil with a neutral PH (get a ph tester to be sure)

6. 2 power strips

7. 4-6 26 watt daylight cfl's, and 4-6 26 watt opposite spectrum cfl's

8. 4-6 outlet to light bulb adapters

9. A good timer

10. If you're room is hot, get an A/C


How to assemble it

Ok, so once you have the supplies, you must assemble the grow container.

First take a sharp razor or other tool and cut a hole in the bottom of the back of the trash can just big enough to put a small 5" fan or something similar partly into. This will create an air flow. Then cut another hole in the top on either the front or the back, front would be best, but if secrecy is a big issue, the back will do. this hole is for the air purifier to fit partly into. You want both of these holes to be snug, and use duct tape to seal the fan and purifier to the unit, and hold them in place.

Once this is all good to go, you will want to fill the pots with your soil and place them inside the container, make sure there are lots of holes in the bottom of the pots. Then you are going to suspend the power strips, facing down, across the opening of the container, and plug the lights into them. If you aren't sure what light spectrum to use at what point, look out for future articles of mine, or check out the forums at rollitup.org.

Good luck!
