Hey smeegol, this literally got sprung on me yesterday, a friend was throwing them away and i couldnt watch that happen so i took them in.. i have no experience in growing weed but am a fast learner.. so far i have slapped up a quick frame and made a box for them.. just gotta install insulation and outer panel which will be done today.. at the moment i have them in my bathroom under normal household flourescent tube 18/6 light schedule as per info i found on google, i need to make this a stealth grow as i live in nz... its also winter here, what would be my ideal type of lighting situation for a small stealth grow on a budget setup? As cheap as possible?.. is there anything i should be actively doing.. they look to be in potting soil with white stones throughout apparently these are water crystals? Plants look really nice and healthy dark rich green throughout with very light green top. I am looking at buying a led panel today any suggestions on wattage etc? Food?... how long should they be in veg for? Research suggests 7-8 weeks veg??
Cheers

Hello brother well they look blooming healthy so try keep them that way.....haha, I'm not quite the guy to ask bout lighting as I mainly grow outdoors as my indoor attempts have failed or halted for whatever reason...
But I've got 31 clones under 2x36w fluros vegging at the moment and it's also middle of winter here in South Africa and they doing fine in my DIY box but I do carry them outdoors during the day. I don't have any heating or fans going on either and they not bothered really so you can do it easily..
I haven't had any experience with the water crystals but I figure it's there for water retention maby or something like that...haha
Getting back to lights stick with the fluros as they do a fine job for vegging honestly I wouldn't bother getting anything else maby another fluro or two but for now you'll be fine, for flower it depends on your budget really LEDs come in all forms and I purchased 2x 130w quantum boards for when I do have space indoors as they too powerful for the small space I'm using over winter ( DIY cupboard lying on its side ) but I wouldn't go crazy if it's your first time, get something that is functional and works and suits your pocket brother.....
Here's a pic so you get an idea of my set up and you'll see it's no frills no fuss...
As they'll be going outdoors they looking rather happy also no bugs during winter....haha

I do believe The white balls are called perlite. It’s a drainage compound to help with drainage. When you mix it in with new soil for transplanting or what ever, normally you would mix it close to 50/50 and when in coco, 60 coco/ 40 perlite. I know people that say coco is a good enough of a compound for drainage that it doesn’t need perlite, but I throw it in anyways.
I’m sorry if it says up there but how big is your box your making, or made?
Like another member said you don’t need much for veg. I have a small 2 foot T5 light for my veg box which is 24 inches deep, 32 inch wide, and 18 inch inside to inside tall. It works great. You will want to think about possibly having two boxes. One for veg and one for flower. Having them separate to not disrupt the mandatory 12/12 light schedule for flower. With no light penetrating through to the plant. For flower in a small box I’m sure a 300W would be sufficient. Check out the sponsors to see what kind of deals they have, located under my post.
You won’t see pistils or pollen sacs until it’s well flipped into flower.
Much to learn man! I’m tagged in and will follow along, and help where I can!
If your interested, come on down to my journal located under my post, read the intro and then swing on down to the present! Happy to have ya!!

Female is good. If you can measure ph you'll be thanked later with greater yields. Around 6.5 ph for soil.
