Growing CANNABIS on a BUDGET!

Growing cannabis plants indoors from seed on a budget

Not all of us have deep pockets and one of the reasons we want to grow our own cannabis is because we can’t afford to buy It, assuming of course, you live somewhere it is legal to buy cannabis!

So, here are some helpful tips to reduce your growing costs.

First, think quality and not quantity where seeds are concerned. Only buy from a reputable source with a good reputation. We’d recommend London Seed Centre for the finest genetics.

Choose an autoflowering strain – they produce great yields and are ideal for the novice grower.

Once you have established cannabis plants, rather than buying new seeds, you can consider growing clones instead, though this is only cost effective when growing multiple plants.

Re-use and recycle. Plastic pots can last for years if properly looked after. Soil can be re-used providing you mix in some new soil each time and fertilise it well.

Obviously, you’ll keep using the same tools – knives, pruning shears, gloves, etc. However, remember to keep them clean and disinfected from time to time to avoid spreading disease.

Now, fertiliser costs money, so why not consider composting your household waste instead – it doesn’t cost much to buy a bin and a few composting worms, and your set for years!

You don’t need to fork out a small fortune on a small grow tent when a closet or cupboard in your home will work just as well. All you need to do is line it with a reflective material to maximise the efficiency of your lights.

When it comes to lights, investing in an LED panel may cost you money today, but it will save you a great deal on electricity costs, and these panels will last for up to 10,000 hours!

Your ‘grow tent’ or cupboard will also need to be well ventilated, but don’t buy a system that can ventilate a ballroom when all you have is a two-cubic metre cupboard! Get an extractor fan with a cubic metre rating and multiply the size of volume cupboard or tent by 70 to get the perfect extractor.

The air needs to be changed around 70 times per hour, so a two-square-metre cupboard will require a ventilator with a 140 litres per hour rating, and remember to get a carbon filter to stop the smell invading your home!

So, there you have it, and while first time around a little expense will be involved, next year your plants can be grown with virtually no additional expenditure!

    Reading about people grabbing multi-figures monthly as incomes in investments even in this crazy days in the market, any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earning? I would appreciate

    Um…yeah you can’t clone an auto flower strain. I find this channel has provided good and yet a lot of misinformation. To whoever is in charge I recommend that you proofread the script before making it public and have a test audience. That way when you also mention your parent seed company. You do not raise suspicion of the true authenticity of your reputation.



  3. @rhddfgdfdrgd on November 6, 2024 at 9:37 pm

    wtf so you tell people to buy auto seed then you tell them they can save money on making clone how the fuck do you want people to make clone of auto when the cloen will flower at the same time as the mother plant you took it from come on



  4. @Falpastymonster on November 6, 2024 at 9:41 pm

    LSC is the best!



  5. @kenizly on November 6, 2024 at 9:43 pm

    I use some pretty cheap led lights 40 bucks each and run 6 plants in a closet 2 autos and 4 photos u can’t clone autos btw its pointless since no matter what they will flower after a certain amount of time ur clones will start flowering before they take root

    Can’t clone an autoflower…



  11. @unknownking1302 on November 6, 2024 at 9:49 pm

    Why are you advising cloning with auto flower plants



  12. @elevatedgrubgardens118 on November 6, 2024 at 9:54 pm

    Cloning autos are a waste of time



  13. @jimmynuggs5618 on November 6, 2024 at 9:54 pm

    No way of cloning autos….😑



  14. @cameron6035 on November 6, 2024 at 9:59 pm

    I just grow mine on a windowsill. All natural and they can grow at their own pace



  15. @garrygrant8511 on November 6, 2024 at 10:03 pm

    Excellent tutorial !



  16. @nilejuneau1972 on November 6, 2024 at 10:03 pm

    Im just on my second run soo this is a awsome vidio for me .



  17. @sigglivingsoil6751 on November 6, 2024 at 10:04 pm

    There are some great points here but I highly disagree that autoflowers are good for beginners



  18. @tgitsmydad2156 on November 6, 2024 at 10:05 pm

    If you want to keep a clone of an auto flower strain. You must buy or make colloidal silver at 60 ppm or above. Selecting a lower branch and then spraying it regularly from the very moment you can isolate and spray it from the point of germination. Then you will want to keep this one plant completely separate from all others. In order to make your own S1 or clone seeds of that particular strain.
    The only issue with doing this with auto flowers in particular. Is you have no certainty as to whether this strain will produce buds that are identical to the previous plant you knew and loved to smoke. Since their are only a handful of true landrace strains of ruderalis or autoflower strain and given the fact that even tested genetics. Have a hard time getting 100% consistent results. Especially in the case of terpenes and especially those strains that produce purple colors. The one true ruderalis autoflower strain is recessive against becoming purple. So making clone seeds is a guaranteed way of keeping this one auto phenotype.
    However this is a method best used on a photo period plant. Because you can grow it to maturity and before flowering while in veg. You can cut clones in advance and with these clones being kept completely isolated from the host that is now in flower. You can anilize the bud formations of the host or mother plant and if this phenotype is one you selected to make seeds. Then and only then can you be certain of what will become of the seeds you make.
    Take wedding cake by seedsman for instance. It was the 2018 cannabis cup winner and the seeds they sale of this strain are S1. Which means they are exact clone copies of the orginal plant that won the cannabis cup and in my opinion the best seed they make and sale.
    Doing this yourself at home takes up time and additional space and effort. However you can make thousands of cloned seeds that you never have to but again. Just keep in mind that a S1 plant will be more prone to becoming hermaphrodites over time. So as long as you don’t mind having or keeping an eye out for this with tweezers in hand to pluck the bananas before they open. Then have at it friends and happy growing.

    Why is the extractor fan part needed? How to install?



  20. @jonathondefina1384 on November 6, 2024 at 10:05 pm

    Zero bullshit and straight to the point, rare on YouTube these days!

    Trying to clone from autoflowers is a mistake!



  26. @plantx5145 on November 6, 2024 at 10:11 pm

    If you’re in London then Mephisto is number one to buy seeds from



  27. @KeepItSimpleSailor on November 6, 2024 at 10:12 pm

    Be careful on reusing growing material – moulds, pests, salts, nutrient imbalances all become potential issues



  28. @dankyStank on November 6, 2024 at 10:13 pm

    You are gonna have a real fun time cloning autos 😂🤣😂🤣 GREAAAAAT MISINFORMATION MY GUY. Smmfh

    My tip is what you first budget will quadruple so you might as well be a guerilla or save till you have a mid priced light bargain lights are to weak



  39. @LearningAsIGrow420 on November 6, 2024 at 10:26 pm

    You can’t clone autos like you can a photo, i mean you can clone them but not to keep around for a mother it will be on the same biological timer as the mom, and I highly suggest unless you have some experience watering and caring for plants start with photos you will most likely overwater and stunt plants which particularly with autos will most likely lead to a lot of disappointment in my opinion



  40. @isaiahalleman8055 on November 6, 2024 at 10:30 pm

    Great video.
    Bad opening display image depicting what looks like a criminal.🤦
