New Grower From Massachusetts: Thanks For Having Me!

[CrazyChef]

Hey guys, thanks for the awesome forum! As the title says, I'm a new grower. I'm in Massachusetts, so with my roommate I'm allowed up to 12 plants - starting with 4, and hoping to get a few clippings to try my hand at cloning.

Got some seeds from a friend who is from Oregon, and am looking forward to the grow. Pictured below are my newborn babies:
Grape Ape (hasn't popped yet); Grape Ape; Agent Orange X Huckleberry; Purple Skunk Mass

I plan on using one of the Grape Ape plants (if they both pop) for cloning.

Here's my setup. I'm EXTREMELY limited on funds, and have pretty much maxed out my budget. Hopefully I'll be able to afford better grow lights once this grow is done. Right now I have the 3 photo studio LED lamps, and the 2 LED shop lights to get me started,

Thinking of an outdoor grow?

 

[CrazyChef]

Nope, gonna keep 'em indoors. I know my setup is weak, but like I said I'm on an extremely limited budget right now.

Sunlight is free

to the forum...

We'll help all we can. Many did grow under florescents in the past, and got a harvest. The extra LEDs will help. You'll probably want to keep the plants short and wide, as in a SCRoG.

Thanks, that's what I plan on doing. I'm planning to top them once, then maybe a 2nd time and then train them through the spaces in the shelving above the plants. I'm planning on transplanting to red solo cups once they're about 3-4 inches tall, then into 3 gallon fabric "buckets" after that.

Can I just say that I'm REALLY happy I found this forum? So far you guys seem nothing but helpful. I'm a bit tired of the "elitists" on the Facebook grow groups that keep telling me that I'm doomed if I don't do things their way, and keep telling me to spend more money on this, that, the other thing, etc. when I've repeatedly stated that I've maxed out all I can spend and have to make due with what I have now.

Welcome man, I'm glad you found the forum. Great to have new content contributors. Let me know if you start a journal!

telling me to spend more money on this,

We're all lucky cannabis doesn't grow on money-a little light,a little water,some nutes-that's all the plants really care about...you can elaborate on that,if you can afford it,but the plants don't really care one way or the other....They just want to grow
Welcome to 420,CrazyChef-You've come to the right place-anything we can help you with,just
let us know.
