Hi - I was active on these forums about 5 years ago when I grew in Alabama. Since I moved around a lot and am now moving from Florida to a more favorable state. I stopped because I moved around and I have a good career and family and the punishments in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida were depressingly severe.
Anyways, back then I had two HPS/MH 400 Watt lights and it took me about a year until I could grow stuff that wasn't overtaken by fungus and such. Now I have more money and will be buying a house with a large basement. My ultimate plan is to grow only once a year - but until then I know I need to re learn and get better. I'd like to grow enough for 6 mos and then stop for 3 mos.
I am considering a "grow tent" kit. I have read that some can be more expensive than they should be - but so what. I have money and it seems easier. HTG has some that appeal to me, and I am 90% sure I will spring for a high quality LED lighting system. I think a 4X4 or at most a 5X5 model will work. I am also pretty sure I will use soil at first because thats what I used before. I would maybe consider hydro after I get better.
Anyone have any suggestions? What would you get if money were not a limiter? I wouldn't say money is no object - but put it this way I doubt anything would blow my budget. I am only looking to grow for personal usage (not even my wife smokes or ever has) and I *think* I can get a medical card where I am going as well. I need this - I don't like pot that much but I have moderate mental health issues that this has been the only thing that has worked. Since I quit I have gained 50 pounds and am extremely unhappy despite life being really good.
