My zero maintenance winter grow (lemmy.world)

I didn't do a damn thing other than top these plants once and water it with nutes.

4 plants in here.

Front right is a 3 gal Forbidden Fruit Auto

Front left is a 1 gal Forbidden Fruit Auto

Back left is a 1 gal Critical 47 Auto that was planted a full month before the forbidden fruit but was very stunted, but managed to flower at the same time

Back right is a lemon grass I'm keeping alive through the winter. Its actually been great for maintaining humidity during the flowering. I haven't needed to use a dehumidifier this time around.

Living in a not-legal place...how would one get started with this kind of a setup? I am not horticulturally inclined but like the concept of growing a bit of a buzz on the down-low but have no clue how to go about it. Any pointers or "start here" guides?

Grow weed easy is a great resource as the other homie said. If you are looking for where to start on equipment, AC Infinity has really upped their grow tent game. If I were starting over now, I’d buy a full system from them and start there.

My tent is a 36x36x72, get whatever size works for your space. I promise it’ll be worth the investment after your first grow.

Here’s a list of what you’ll be missing along with my recommendations.

Soil – I like FoxFarms Ocean Forest

Humidifier - https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-CLOUDFORGE-Programming-Greenhouses/dp/B0BXQW2NF6

*Dehumidifer - https://www.amazon.com/Dehumidifier-Basement-SEAVON-Dehumidifiers-Bathroom/dp/B0CYCDR6SM

Nutrients - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097WP61TK (For Veg Phase) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L2G1HT6 (For Flowering Phase)

Jewler’s Loupe - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B091635T2K

Gardening Scissors - https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Gardening-Pruning-Straight-Stainless/dp/B01EWH83FU

Plant Ties - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZYGJFZM

**Self Watering Fabric Pot Base - https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-Self-Watering-Auto-Irrigation-Greenhouses/dp/B0B1SL84RG

Seeds – Plenty of reputable sellers online Seedsman might be the biggest, try direct from breeders if you like a specific strain

That’s all I can think of at the moment. All in all, upfront costs will be between 1000-1500 between equipment and seeds if you are going for a 3x3 like mine.

*I cannot emphasize enough how important the dehumidifier is. Let humidity go wild during the vegging phase. But during flowering, humidity above 55% will pretty much guarantee mold and a lost plant after months of growing. And flowering will make any tent very humid (absent a lemongrass apparently) edit: make sure the dehumidifier has a drain hose, preferably one that's higher off the ground if you don't have a convenient place to drain the water (mine is sitting on books and draining into a 1 gallon bucket. At peak flower, it can fill a bucket over night) You won't be able to keep up with emptying the tank if you don't have a drain hose.

**I’m sure I sound like an AC infinity shill at this point, but the self watering base has been a game changer for me and all my big plants (even the lemongrass is using it). Saves time, works with water soluble nutrients, no need to worry about plants drying out, and with fabric pots, over watering is dam near impossible.
