Issue #398 - Sunday, December 1, 2019
Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...
- What's the lowest amount of money you could spend to grow an ounce of high-potency, top-shelf weed? We figured out the numbers and even we were a little surprised at how little it costs to start growing these days! Read below
and prepare to be shocked, too!
- Get a list of all the supplies you'll need to do this super-easy method of cloning. Spoiler Alert: The list is short.
- This weeks trophy pics feature sticky colas grown under an HPS. Despite their garish yellow color, HPS bulbs produce outstanding weed in large amounts. And the trophy pics below can definitely attest to the fact that HPS' make hordes of trichomes!

You want to try growing weed but refuse to spend a fortune. You don’t need the biggest harvest ever, but your time or effort must be rewarded with a good amount of high-quality buds the very first time.
The method in this tutorial will give you…
- 1+ ounces per harvest (2-4 ounces is average)
- Potent high-grade buds of your chosen strain
- Seed to harvest in under 90 days
- As little as $130 to get started (supplies list with links below)
- Electricity: $10/month (for USA average electricity cost of $0.12/kWh)
Total Cost of 1st Grow: $130 plus $10/month electricity
This is the basic setup (total estimated cost includes seeds, grow light, grow medium, plant containers, and nutrients)
What about future grows?
Possible ongoing costs:
- $5/grow to replace HPS bulb – The 150W HPS bulb needs to be replaced every 3-4 grows as they begin to lose brightness over time (not applicable if using an LED grow light) – $15 for a new bulb every 3 grows, or ~$5/grow
- $5-10/grow for nutrients – Growers can spend hundreds of dollars on expensive nutrients and supplements, but oftentimes less glamorous nutrients seem to work just as well. Dyna-Gro (the nutrient recommended in this article) is an example of an inexpensive but surprisingly effective cannabis nutrient system. Another economical option is the General Hydroponics Flora trio.
The Flora trio costs about $35 for the quart size, and the 3 bottles will give dozens of plants everything needed from seed to harvest. For this size grow, the 3 bottles will last for years.
- $30/grow for electricity – If using the 150W HPS, the average cost of electricity is about $10/month. For a 3 month grow, that equals a total of $30. (The HLG 100 only uses about $7/month for electricity so it would cost $21/grow).
Future grows: As little as $40/harvest (for electricity, nutrients, and a new HPS bulb every few grows) - only $26/harvest if using the suggested LED grow light (it uses less electricity and you don't have to replace any bulbs).
What about buying seeds?
If you’re buying new seeds every grow, it becomes an ongoing cost. Buying seeds can get expensive! If you stick to auto-flowering strains, you’ll probably have to buy seeds every new grow. However, after your first grow, you’ll have experience under your belt and be more than prepared to grow any strain including photoperiod ones. Initiating the flowering stage can be a
little tricky but overall care is basically the same. Photoperiod plants give you the ability to take clones, which is the easiest source of basically free plants. Another way to get basically free plants is to breed your own seeds or even make your own feminized seeds at home.
As time goes on, your costs go down while your yields go up
IMPORTANT: Always keep learning!
After a few grows, many growers become convinced there’s nothing left to learn about growing. Believe me, there is always more to learn. I learn something new almost every day. A lot of “common” grow knowledge that’s been passed down for generations is being proven wrong. People are learning about better cultivation practices, developing new strains, and
creating new techniques to get better yields and bud quality. Never mind all the new growing equipment aimed at home growers. Keep your mind open and remember to question everything. That’s the only way to ensure each harvest is better than the last!
Start Growing Weed for $130!

I didn't have a lot of money when I first started growing, which is what inspired me to make this tutorial.
|
Here's a picture of me from 2008
All I had here was a grow light, pots, a grow medium, and plants. I put everything in a walk-in closet and just started growing. That's basically what this tutorial will show you how to do, but you're going to start with better lights, better nutrients, and better soil than I did! Plus you'll get step-by-step instructions on how to use everything to produce a great harvest.
P.S. Don't put plants directly on the carpet like I did in this picture. Make sure to put something down to protect your floor lol
This $65 grow light can produce up to 5 oz each harvest (average of 2-4 oz)

new growers to get started as well as help advanced growers get bigger, better yields with less time and money. We are updating and adding articles every single week and our goal is to eventually build a comprehensive growing resource so anyone and everyone can grow if they want to! If we all share the knowledge there's more buds in the world for everyone :) |

Sirius Fourside:
Sirius Fourside is a hobbyist grower who has gained the bulk of his experience growing in water as a medium (deep water culture, bubbleponics).
"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
