Chupa, I just looked at your grow log.

Lights Lights Lights.

You gotta spend a few shekels. For your cab I would try a cheap UFO LED. Or better if $$$ can provide. And good nutes.

Take the above advice from AZ2000. Buds are not free.
If funds are low, then wait. Better to save up and go when you can do it right. Cuz it aint working now. We are here for you.

Create a plan for grow number two. Run it past us for commentary and then proceed. I think that would be your best bet.
Together we will grow. And get our meds n highs.

I doubt anyone who worked with AFN ever failed. And you won't fail either bro'.

Here for ya, for the long term. eP + AFN

I buy mine at Lowes. I just checked their web site and it's $30.

I should have mentioned to the OP that buying Pro-Mix HP, Kellog's Prem. Patio potting mix and perlite might cost $45, but it's enough for 20 containers. He could get by with just the HP. (I mix 60% HP, 20% potting mix, 20% perlite. But, Pro-Mix by itself would be excellent too.).

(I'd like to add dolomite lime to the list of essentials. I get a 5-pound bag of Hi-Yield Agricultural Lime for about $5. At 1 tbsp per gallon of medium, that lasts a long time.).

I wanted to add Chupa... We aren't here too bust your balls or to belittle what you have done. We have all made serious mistakes before... Heck, I still do. It's a learning process and as some have stated above, if you want results you will have to invest atleast $125USD to get any results. We are here for you!

If you use dolmite lime be very careful with it. It LAST FOREVER and it will raise your ph.

I tried to do things cheaply for my first grow (photo sensitives). Was reluctant to spend a lot of money without knowing if I could do this. It didn't turn out well. If you're facing the same choices, you'll never have an honest assessment of how you can grow without investing in good medium, nutes, ph pen, filtered water (if your tap water is too high in ppm, chlorine, etc.), lights.

These things aren't expensive:

1. Medium:
... Pro-Mix HP = $25
... Kellogg Patio Potting Mix = $6
... Bag of perlite = $10

2. Nutes:
... Grow More Sea Grow (All Purpose and Bloom) $15
... Grow More Hawaiin Bud/Bloom $8
... Epsom salt $1

3. PH
... pen = $10
... PH up/down = $20
... PPM meter = $10

4. Filtered water = 25 cents per gallon at your local dispenser.

Probably the most difficult expense was lighting. You can get by with CFL for cheap. But, a t5ho fixture could cost $150. An LED could be $200. If you can swing any of the above, you could get by ok with inexpensive CFL.

But, to the extent you don't buy into the above, the results are more luck than a representation of what you can expect if you get into growing.

Can you tell me where you get yor cheap led ? normally its 1000 for a led

I was thinking of something like a Blackstar 135w UFO (84w actual draw) for $180 US. Or, their 180w (118w actual) for $230.

I could see spending $600-$1000 for a 4x4 tent. But, as a minimal startup (one plant), those lights are at the higher end of what's available. (Topledgrowlight, a "factory outlet" type of vender sells one which will cover a 4'x2' tent for $180. A UFO for one plant is $120.).

Full disclosure: I have the two Blackstars mentioned. I considered the "topled" lights and was impressed by what you get for the money.
