I have ordered some feminised seeds online. The strain is Super Silver Haze . I’ve been up days studying and what I need to do and everything I need to know. Currently I’m planning on growing it in my closet , length 80cm width 54cm and height 220cm . For the certain temperature and humidity for each stages need I was gonna manipulate it by using a AirConditioner and Humidifier . Pot I was thinking of using is a 10Gallons Smart pot . I was thinking of growing maybe 2 plants ? I’m using organic soil and for nutrients i saw there are some homemade nutrients for plants and I was thinking of using it . Example of the recipe I saw :
Homemade Plant Food
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon epsom salts
½ teaspoon of ammonia
1 gallon of water
An old plastic milk jug serves as a good container for this recipe. Add all of these ingredients to your container and let it sit for about half an hour. This gives your solid ingredients time to dissolve.
Add plant food directly to the soil so that the plant’s roots can best absorb the nutrients. Start by lightly topping your soil once a month and adjust how often you feed your plants based on how they respond.
A lot of you would say it’s not enough nutrients but I was planning to watch my plan and see loo out for its nutrient deficiency then feeding with what it needs for example
Coffee grounds - Rich nitrogen and Balance potassium and phosphorus
Banana Skins - Rich in phosphorus and potassium. They also contain calcium and plenty of other minerals that can further help enrich your soil and benefit your plants.
Cooking water - The nutrients in the water will vary depending on what vegetables you’re cooking, but you’ll find cooking water contains potassium, calcium, iron, and more. Just remember to let the water cool before giving it to your plants.
Egg shells - Rich in calcium
I was gonna make sure my organic soil is pH6.0-7.0 before planting .
Im still very confused on the lightning areas ,as I read that high wattage is really important for higher yields and the light quality and quantity also . I really don’t know which growth lights to get because of my budget and also wattage scam .
I’m currently staying in Malaysia , so if anyone could recommend me some high quality low budget lights would be nice .
I really don’t understand the pricing of the lights . Some examples :
What I don’t understand is why some are so high in V and some so high in W here . Are any of these even suitable for growing my plants . Please recommend for shopee , aliexpress or lazada.
Hello and welcome to a great forum. You will find that quality and low budget very rarely go hand in hand. @dbrn32 is the guy for lights. I’ve tagged him for you so he will be around shortly. Here’s a link to some lighting chat to get you started.
I had to remove your links, we have limited list of approved vendors. I realize that will be difficult for you, how about some screenshots of the specs?
Watts more bolts neccesarily important. The amount of light you get is what is most important. Some lights are a lot better at turning a watt into light than others. And you just make sure that operating voltage is correct for the service you have.
Growing with cfl’s is probably cheapest way to get started, but your results won’t be as good as they could either. Just be weary of the led lights that look like the price is a steal, its probably too good to be true. I would expect to pay at least $100 US for mediocre led fixture for your space. Probably closer to $250 or so to start for a really good led fixture.
I suspect you’ll struggle with the homemade nutrients, but I haven’t tried it either.
If is not too much for me to ask can you recommend me any LED from Shopee, AliExpress and Lazada .
I understand why you would say it’s hard but do you think it’s possible ? Or do you know anyone that has tried this ? Won’t homemade be more organic ?

Typically their output is in light and measured in luminous or radiometric flux. The power they consume is measured in watts or similar format. They are classified as 3v chips with different voltage bins, usually ranging between 2.6 and 2.9, and Samsungs test current is 65ma, which is where the .2 watt comes from. But the maximum current rating is 200ma, which is almost .6 watt. So the power consumed by each chip can vary a lot depending on which power supply is used. Then you consider that most of these boards at least a couple hundred per board, and a lot of the fixtures use multiple boards. It’s not difficult to have a fixture using lm301b pull several hundred watts worth of power.
What do you think about this ???
