Best investment in your growing?

[pollen205]

lights, dehydrator, AC

When and why you use dehydrator

Switching from HID lighting to white COBs and white 5w Cree panels years ago was a big deal.
A kitchen scale to weigh everything before I water. Huge!

If I understand you weigh your pot before you water to know it is the time to water?

Hi guys

I was wondering what everyone thinks their best investment or biggest improvement in their growing was?

What was your big game changer? Where do you think money best spent for the return was?

My conversion to COBs was huge for me a while back. Was able to dial in the tent a lot better.

But now I just added a RO water system to the mix. Maybe this will take the cake.

I would have to say either my second tent 4x8, or the new light I'm working on buying!

I have to say this again. Regardless of lights, fertilizer, Co2, Fairy Dust, etc... The best thing you can do is acquire good genetics. If you start with bad genetics nothing you do can make it fire.

This forum always argues about lights and nutrients. Starting with exceptional genetics opens the possibility for improvement to the ceiling!

In rank order I guess

Automatic thermo control over day/night root temps, water temps too.
Using coco
Better nutrient strength/ratio
Topping and canopy management
Cobs for spread and consistency

Strain is subjective, doesn't make the list for me.

What light you buying ?

What light you buying ?

was 2 hlg 600 qb to cover a 4x8, but that may be changing, I was limited bc i can't build a light to save my life, but now a buddy is offering to help me, so may do a cob, or strip build, kinda leaning towards the new strips tho!

Fuck I dont understand this slang but I think that is yes.

slang, pronounced like you say slung, is Afrikaans for snake.

my autopots. I had watering issues and now i dont. Top up a reservoir and it feeds the plants by itself. Nice and simple

I'd like to give those a shot some time, but don't feel like working with media soon again.
It is just so messy indoors.
