Never done a journal before,so bear with me....
So my budget when I started this was $150,and I used all but 20 cents of it:
Northern Light x Big Bud feminized seeds ...had 'em already
Low Ryder#2 auto seeds................................. "
Bagseed#3 seeds.............................................. " ( from bagseed#2,she was a beast)
Oneo LED grow light from the zon .......$100.00 (1000 watt claimed/200watts at the wall) (not blurple)
Home Depot 2'x2'x44" wardrobe box ... $18.00
1.5 cu.ft. Black Magic organic potting soil...$18.00
x4 reflective windshield shades................$4.00 (Dollar Tree)
x3 - 4" USB fans ............................................$6.00 ($2.00 each,99cent store (wtf?)
Mega Crop 750g free sample....................$3.80 (paid for shipping)
Total:...........................................................$149.80
I already had everything else-packing tape,material for drip tray,ph tester,etc
So here's a few pics of what's going on up till now:

So here's where it all started: (My custom seed warmer,which doubles as a stove)
Only one popped,so the next step was:
Now here's where it gets interesting (to me,at least)-On Feb.1 ,I stuck 4 seeds in the ground outside my kitchen window just to see if they would pop in this cold,wet environment -the daytime temps were in the high 50's,nightime was low to high 30's,
and it was raining,which it did for 20 of the 28 days in Feb.
So,I was a pleasantly surprised on the 11th when I found this going on
ya gotta look close,there's 2 seedlings there-NlxBB on the left,Bagseed#3 on the right)
It took them 10 days,but they actually popped! (didn't really think they would)
Well,I couldn't just leave them there,so,after a day or 2, I brought them inside in solo cups and put them in "the box" with the Low Ryder#2,which got off to a very slow start:
A day after I brought them in,another Bagseed#3 popped...I left it outside to see what it would do, There will be more about that one a little later...
Fast forward to Feb 3 -topped NLx BB, fimmed Bagseed 3,and started LST on the Low Ryder#2:
Here's how they looked 2 days ago (15th):LoRyder on the left,NLxBB bottom right,
Bagseed3 top right.
That Northern LightxBigBud is rapidly becoming a monster,and I'm rapidly finding out just how small a 4 sq. ft. growspace really is....
It's soon going to be like trying to stuff 2 pounds of $hit in a 1 pound bag,as my dear old Dad used to say....
So that's about it for now,except for that little plant outside under the kitchen window...
(I'm going to call it a she until she shows me otherwise)
How's she doing,you ask?
Here she is 10 minutes ago-growing a bit
slower than her 2 indoor buddies,but still growing, despite nightime temps in the mid 30's to mid 40's-(she's a bagseed#3,btw...)
The days are starting to finally get sunny,so she may surprise us all soon...
Well,that's about it for my first installment,but I'll be updating often...
I just wanted to add that I'm really liking that light-lo budget or not-it's surpassing my expectations so far...
@MrSauga -wanted to let you know, I finally got around to doing this
it’s a she right) looks like a different shade of green. she looks good in that colour of green
