Here are my La Confidential and THC Bomb plants I recently moved outside to flower and had moved this big THC bomb into this big jumbo sized black plastic pot! (I really need to start using just big trash cans!)
And here is my La Confidential plant looking good and almost big enough to tranplant into its own giant pot
Another shot of the La Confidential just starting to flower over the last couple weeks ....I believe it is in week 2? I wanted them to veg more but sadly its not quite summer yet and plants wanna just flower which is cool Ill get some flower then soon, and my others are all safely egging under the lights as shown far below in the images with the hanging light bulbs (that system works very well I can actually easiily draw the bulbs up or down depening on how talll the plants groow!
Check out my friend @josayyy12 he will be posting pics of his Cannabis plants and he loves Girl Scout Cookies and Girlcsout Cookie derived strains like Sunset Sherbert' and other cookie strains.
I will be happy to give free cuttings to anyone! Whether you live in San Diego or anywhere else, if you supply the cloning gel and rock wool or cloning cubes, I will give you free cuttings! I just need some cloning gel and rock wool and cloning supplies myself! But as you can see I have plenty of still vegging plants to make cuttings from!!!
Devils Tear (tallest in back) gorilla glue, Chemdawg4, green crack, RugBurn OG (thats the tallest one) Gorilla Glue, Fire OG, THC Bomb, The White, Odin, Sunset Sherbert, SkywalkerOG, Godfather OG, THC Bomb, Lavender, 707headband and a few others
Here is the RugBurn OG I just transplanted into the ground....its a little droopy but it is has been growing fast ad is getting used to having its biggest pot of soil yet! The ground! now its roots can REALLY grow and flower big!
https://steemit.com/cannabis/@ackza/my-budget-cannabis-grow-25-000-lumens-and-only-usd30-for-the-lights-usd5-a-month-in-power-how-to-grow-and-clone-weed-with-almost
and my past article describing the budget CFL//LED bulb grow where each bulb is 800lumen to 1500 Lumen( Expensive $1000 HPS systems are around 10,000 lumen so we can achieve same lumen for $20! ) and each led/clf bulb only takes up $1.80 a YEAR in energy costs, or pennies a month (Basically $2 a month in electricity for every 12 bulbs and i only have 20 or so and they dont use up any noticeable amount of power and thats with expensive southern California electricity rates
And now they have 10 packs from Feit Electrical, of 800 lumen LEDs and at Ace Hardware I found a special promotional deal for only $15 for these same 10 packs...but if you can find these for $20 or less, buy tem, that is a deal, since $2 per LED is a great deal...
Sure I was able to get my CFL 4 packs for less than $2 and they ended up being 50 cents each for the 750 lumen bulbs that were just as energy efficient taking up only $1.80 to $2 a year in electricity costs or less than 25 cents per month per bulb to operate and thats at the highest rates for power in California! MOST places are gonna end up being even cheaper than that! So vegging and even flowering with these lights becomes a viable option especially for budget growers just looking to grow for themselves for the free weed....These bulbs can be attached together with PVC or all just attached and bolted onto a twp by four or honestly, even a power strip surge protector would work!
All above images are mine that I took of my ownplants.
The following are NOT MY images but examples of how you can plug in multiple LED or CFL bulbs into Lightbulb to Outlet/mains Adapters and other ways to wire up lightbulbs (since those adapters are $2 at hardware stores like home depot and even more at ace, I must find a way to just wire up these bulbs manually which cant be too difficult! If we could make a cheap dirty but safe solution we could sell them as cheap ways to hook up multiple CFL or LED lightbulbs into one single outlet to save money!
THIS is what I was talking about! But these are BIG CFLs! They are usually over $20 and produce something like aroound 5,000 Lumens just on their own! If you can find these at your local stores, BUY them! Otherwise, order them online OR just buy the 10 packs or 3 packs I showed above! LEDs are gonna be preferable over the long run, but CFLs are nice if you are in a cold environment and your plants need to be kept warm...its just enough to keep em happy!
This is what I meant with the PVC (since wood coule catch on fire, bamboo not so easily I might make these from bamboo! The expensive part is the bulb to outlet adapters that let you screw light bulbs directly into that small adapter which can then be plugged into the outlet(mains) An I have found that you can actually buy these in bulk for ALOT cheaper than the $2 they sell them for at the hardware stores!
And here is the Video instructions on HOW to wire up lightbulbs WITHOUT sockets! Its very simple! Just be careful and always turn off the power before doing this if your planning on plugging them into the wall (Use a surge protector first!)
And an intractable on how to wire up your lightbulbs without having to buy any socket adapters, just Wires and Tape!!!! Duct Tape OR of course, ELECTRICAL tape! lol finally black electrical will be used for its true purpose!
And this video on how to wire your light bulbs in Parralell! they even use islamic ISIS sounding music I guess as a joke about bomb making cuz hes using wires and stuff LOL?
Ignoring all that, the video is great for showing how to connect multiple lights if making a system like this!
Off course if you have the money you would buy the LEC or Light Emitting Ceramic lights that seem to emit more of the light directly absorbale by the plant and the plants seem to love the new LEC Light Emitting Ceramic) tech HOWEVER I feel maybe I could get an even better deal making my own CFl an LED light systems! But for flowering I think the LECs are gonna just give you better results flowering, but maybe not! WIth enough LED n CFL i bet we could really get high yeilds!
But until then just make your own DIY LED and CFL bulb clusters!
Here are the results of such an LED bulb cheap budget grow! WOW! I can testify to this too! My plants flowered massive under LEDs or CFLs before as long as you have enough of them! This is going to be one of my next business ventures..I have been planing this for a while but have been so busy with the world of crypto currency and the blockchain that i had set it asidde but now I realize I MUST create a company that sellls grow light systems or kits for SUPER cheap that will allow anyone to start with a simple $200 grow kit setup where we give them the lights the pot a box to put it all in like a small grow closet PVC box thing, and we give em a lil bit of the nutrients they need some fish juice for vegging and guano kelp and PH K stuff for flowering and some humtea and superthrive, it can be a whole grow system, OR just the lights, but yeah first we sell just the lights as a super cheap way to veg or flower plants , may not give u same yeilds as some expensive HPS or LEC ceramic grow lights but this will be for people who dont have anymore than a few hundred bucks to start growing...U will even make a $40 to $70 system for people who ust wanna grow a couple plants to start...we can even make a kit for that where it will be like $100 and it will come with everything except the seeds or clones (which we can recommend the darkweb for and help people get seeds and clones sent in the mail on the down low for people in nonlegal cannabis states or countries...we wont be doing it but we can indendently direct people towards that direction through articles or youtube videos so we wont be breaking any laws we will just sell anindoor grow system for plants...it will be up to the customers in non legal weed states and countries to find or simply order their own seeds and clones which isnt difficult just can be a little expensive but VERY much worth it! One female seed or one female clone can give you an unlimited supply of weed if you keep making cuttings from it or if you have male cannbis plant pollen to make it create seeds with so the high price of a clone or seed is ALWAYS worth it! ) But so many people want to grow but are afraid after seeing all those professional growers with all their complicated looking setups! I wanna show people they dont need all that to grow seriously by offering cheap grow kits that wil actually be affordable unlike the thousand dollar all in one grow kits Ive seen in 420 magazine etc
Anyway here is an example of LED and CFL bulbs flowering plants succesfully with great yeilds
See? It really does work! Its not just for vegging! (however I am lucky enough to have room to place my plants outside to flower i the sun! But If i didnt have that luxury, i would be flowering like this all year round! WOW so this is PROOF you can flower with your CFL and LEDs! I have been flowering in te sun and just using my led and cfl bulbs to veg, but WOW you can REALLY flower your plants seriously with cfl and led bulbs!
So there you have it! Anyone can grow now on a budget! if you have anymore questions leave a comment or email me zackza@gmail.com
And if you wanna start mining Altcoins (BCN ETH ETC and XMR that you can trade for BTC and cash out for US dollars at BTC atm or coinbase etc) on your Windows, Mac or Linux Laptop Desktop or Anroid Phone or tablet (iOS coming soon) then singup under me for Minergate FREE here https://minergate.com/a/d582a3e158500d130a38afed
You get a third of any profiits they make off new people you singup, and the more people we get in the pool with their computers all doing some of the work, the more altcoins and btc we can make! its all free, a total win win situation! Non Zero Sum Game!, sounded too good to be true but its not! To make even more money, a little over a month ago I decided to buy a completely optional $7 worth of btc mining HASH power and currently have $1.80 in BTC so far and its just been about .003 BTC for 20GH/s but that was over a month ago!I am actually alot closer to breaking even and actually making a profit sooner than the original 14 month break even point! I see how mining contracts ARE profitable! Once you make your money back you will get pure profit AND the price of BTC goes up giving you even more money than you expected! A great way to force yourself to save money for the future! I didnt realize how profitable mining contracts can be with the riding price of bitcoin! And minergate doesnt push the mining contracts on you! the cloud mining is all just an optional feature that has actually really paid off now alot faster than the 16 month break even point! A great win win deal that costs you nothing but your computers CPU and GPU power and the tiniest bit of electricity that you wont notice as tablets and laptops can only use up so much! Use that link an download the clean and user friendly GUI ALtCoin miner program or App an start mining on all your devices now! I have made over a dollar mining monero(XMR) and another half a dollar with bytecoin and ETC ETH just in the last month or so, using just an old 2009 core i3 dell laptop and a cheap LG android tablet from a few years ago .
Eventually I will be getting PotCoin in the minergate list, and i will try and get PotCoin on the GeneraBytes Bitcoin ATM with altcoin support and leave it at my local Medical Cannabis Dispensary so people can come and cash bitcoins or potcoins for cash to spend on legal weed products!
Here look! They already have a few Potcoin ATMs! Dispensaries really need these! But why not have a Bitcoin AND altcoin ATM all in one?!?!?
Potcoin ATM installed inside a dispensary PotCoin on Twitter: "PotCoin Installs First Potcoin ATM's at RiverRock Wellness Dispensaries http://t.co/w4MJKDxbEW http://t.co/mi1CX4auCG"
WOW so this is actually serious! I can totally see potcoin allowing dispensaries to make extra money accepting crypto which has a price that just keeps going up! Its already at 7 cents and I bought mine at 1 cents! I remember it wasn't even cents a short while ago!
o buy some back
So Potcoinis serious business! I told people when it was 1 penny and now its 7 cents! that is a 7 fold increase i value that any dispensary would have made in profit if they would have adopted a potcoin ATM and bought all the potcoin needed to run one! Its like having a gold buying and selling business and making money as teh price of gold goes up because you have gold as inventory!
(eventually we will have dispenary or 18and up canabis vending machines that accept potcoin or bitcoin as payment )
Like this machine! This is the future! Imagine anillegal lack market vending macine like this that accepted bitcoin and sold regular food and drinks but if you know a special code you can bring up the special weed or drug menu where you can pay with bitcoin or potcoin and then it will dispense some weed or edibles or wax or autodab cartridge or even cocaine or meth or heroine or benzos or MDMA ! This could be HUGE! Secret vending machines or stealth vending machines that look like regular ones but which have a special code to acccess a row of illegal drug items that will jsut be very expensive but convinient
LOL canada has "crack pipe vending machines" selling crack pipes for 2 cents..lol no glass meth pipes Its a plan to cut down on IV use i guess so people will smoke instead of injecting! lol no crackhead will go use a "vending machine" unless they are super desperate! Well Here is a Syringe/injecting needle vending machine in Las vegas! No Suprise when IV drug users get their needles free at needle exchange programs
I am going to make a presentation for potcoin to show all my local dispensaries! I can just imagine how easy it would be for them to be able to just say that they accept both bitcoin and potcoin in a way..they might not directly accept the bitcoin or potcoin as payment due to complexities but they will be able to offer the customer the ability to exchange their bitcoin or potcoin (or other supported altcoin, directly into cash right there in the dispensary, which can then be used to buy the cannabis products for sale there....but eventually dispensaries will just accept the potcoin and then eventually could accept it exclusively to avoid any sort of taxes etc as they could then avoid the use of federal reserve notes all together!
i will also make a new post about Drug Vending Machines and if there are any reports of people setting up secret drug vending machines
Nice post man, great flowers there!!
Awesome post! Interesting bulb arrangements. I post pictures from the facility I work at of you're interested!
I really liked this post. Didnt get to read it all earlier but was excited to get home and look it over completely. Looking forward to more.
i will make sure to make more instructional posts like this about budget weed grows, cfl led bulb andd seed and cutting/clone giveaways!!! i wanna help my fellow steemians to start growing canabis! on the cheaap!!!
