First grow ever, need help

[seedstodreams]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to grow 2-4 autoflower plants indoors. I don't have any equipment, and my budget is pretty low ($400). Smell is a concern. My house gets really cold

I was told to look into a 2x2 for 2-4 autos using 1 qb96 elite and correct driver, or 1 qb288 with correct driver.

Any guidance/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am just starting out myself. From what I have gathered it can be as expensive or as cheap as you make it. I went cheap!!!!!!

My first grow started in space bucket with 4 cfl's. After three weeks I moved my one Lady into a 2x4 tent $75 and a 600watt led $89, and 4" inline fan $ 20. I don't have a filter as I am in the garage and not concerned about odor. I am an avid gardener so I just used nutrients that I already had.

My thought was to go cheap get started now and upgrade as time, funds, and need allow. I plan to add another light soon.

I just harvested my first Lady!!!!!! A blue mystic auto from Nirvana. After drying I have 31 grams of Flower in jars. That is with no training.

I am very exited for my next round. I have two more blue mystic going. I topped them and did a lot of LST. They are 20 inches tall, have multiple colas and flowers galore!!!!!!

I've seen plenty of growers who bought the "all in one set" Tent, fan, inline fan, carbon filter etc.

I was told to look into a 2x2 for 2-4 autos

Unless you do a scrog grow, 4 plants in a 2x2 would be far too packed. Dependent on pot size of course. I suggest that you grow one plant to garner some experience and get a better idea of whether you should add another plant/plants to the next grow.

There are quantum board threads in here you can research. Also research the Autocob. Lots of threads for that light too. I have 6 of those.

Buy a 2x4x5 tent kit on amazon or eBay some 5 gallon pails a small humidifier and small heater (since you said it gets cold where you are) plus if you got the extra bucks it’s only like 40 bucks for each get a inkbrid humidity controller and inkbrid temperature controller and you won’t be disappointed with that set up and you should be able to get it all for 400

Spent less than $500 for a 2x2 tent, qb96 elite v2 with 240h-54a driver, carbon filter, fans, pots, Mephisto seeds, etc

Thanks for the help everyone
