Well that question certainly hits my hot button. I'm in New York State where they legalized rec weed a year ago April......sort of. We can legally own up to 3 ounces of weed. That's really great......with one problem. According to our states cannabis commission it's still illegal to buy, sell...

I don't think I've ever heard the term "utility" used as such, but do understand what you're saying. For most of my growing career has been all about quality weed and how to grow the most I can. My focus on yield was a biggie for me. After scaling down and just growing for my few retail...

Yeah.....I warned him he was no-where ready to tackle such an endeavor in an unknown market. His indoor grow that was successful was only because of plenty of hand-holding from experienced growers helping him. Ditto with my friend who blew $30K on his grow room.....shit he didn't even have...

Well said....thank you.

I'm sure they are.....and agree. It's just not a cheap initial investment and for a new grower not sure if this hobby is for them, can be an expensive ooops if it's not. I am helping somene with their first grow and so far he's spent over $2,000 and hasn't harvested a plant yet. If he decides...

Honestly, Ipower stuff is no where near the top of the line quality-wise....but this gives you an idea of what could be had for $130...and it includes two bulbs...one for veg the other for flower...

Wow......that sounded a bit hostile....for what....my sharing my experiences and opinon? My sharing about my buddies $30K wasn't about just the lights, and I admitted he didn't know what he was doing.... It was the cost of the sub-par lights that were supposed to be the end-all in LED lighting...

So....the $15K he spent on those lights were a smart move....ya know...because it was the best back then?

Probably five years ago, urged on by my LED guru, I built myself a high-quality COB light set-up. I think I spent over $500 in parts....probably closer to $650...and had high hopes that this lighting would be the answer for me. While I enjoyed the build, the light didn't perform anywhere near...

Listen.....I'm in no way putting down LED's. Some of the nicest grows I've seen here and elsewhere were under LED's. For the most part, many have been SCROG's and SOG's, or grows that all the plants are at the same stage. The downfall of LED's for years was the lack of penetration...hence...

That was where my LED nerd pointed to for the lights he recommended.

I appreciate all the comments. I get all the pluses of LED's. Do you know what.....I was getting the same comments 6 years ago about the end-all in LED's and they were......and to put it nicely.....were lacking. And I would like to point out that of the comments, no-one has tried to tell me...

I've vegged with MH in the past. I found that T5's, while not quite as good, do pretty well and run cooler and cheaper.

Here's a video of a grow room I had about five years ago.....tell me it's not working.

I first want to say that I'm no expert on the characteristics of various lighting. You can blast me with numbers and I can tell you it's all been said before. And I still am here to defend growing under HPS lighting. I've been growing under HPS for over 10 years. During those years I've read...

If you haven't heard the word "Jacks" enough....here it is again....Jacks Classic. I grow over 20 plants and buy 4 lb tubs of Jacks on Amazon for about $23. It'll last me 5-6 months. Works great.

Heaping 1/2 tspn. In almost 10 years I've never had a nute issue using Jacks. I also put a splash of calmag in per gallon.

I really have started to not only dislike growing from seeds......I dread it. Most of the strains I started from seed in April....yeah...over 4 months ago.....time, soil, nutrients, space in my rooms.....turned out to be males. Of the rest...two were females...cool huh? No. FUCKING NANNERS...

I've been using Jacks Classic Blossom Booster (10-30-20) from beginning to end. I use Happy Frog and the two work well together along with a little calmag. Ten years ago I was told to buy Jack's General purpose and mistakenly bought the blossom booster.....and the plants thrived. So I never...
