Mypassion, I'm in the U.S., stuck in the Midwest at the moment, but planning on "retiring" to Oregon sometime soon ;?). How about you?
That's cool! At least you got some options. I am in EU, options are limit or expensive to get them overseas.

This is a big reason I went automated. watering/feeding becomes a laborious chore.
I wanna advance myself but I gotta take baby steps.

Really? Why is that, or is it because these lights aren't made over there? I thought they were all made in China, everything else is, lol. Didn't I read somewhere that they're being made there now, or are they just knockoffs?
Btw, Mypassion, do you have to water so much cuz of the small pot size? Are you growing organic or some other form of dirt-grow?
I switched to a modified Hempy bucket system, that is I've added some soil/organics to the coir/perlite mix. I like this system because it's still DTW, no messing with reservoirs that need lots of controls like chillers, and can give you all kinds of problems, aka diseases.
I suppose it could be automated with a pump, timer and feeding tub (which I've considered adding just for when I want to go on holiday, this has caused me problems a few times cuz timing didn't work out), but if you build your buckets with a 2-3" rez in the bottom, it will last an extra couple of days, depending of course on your plant mass to bucket size ratio. Only neg is the extra nutes used, but for the benefits it's worth the trade-off, imo ;?)
I consider it more a labor of love, lol, or a job that pays me well for doing what I love ;?)

It once was for me. Then it became a labor of hate and I was mad at my ladies for being so hungry all the time (joke) and I would rather love them than hate them. All in all it was the best thing I have done. Increased yields, increased feedings and stupid easy.
There's are things you can't buy from EU. The shipments for overseas is expensive, for over 100usd I gotta pay 24% witch I don't wanna do. So I gotta speak with the seller to make two separate payments, one with less for customs etc.
I use some light soil for seedlings until I transplant and use Compo Sana.
I use to do only Plagron Light Mix but Compo saves me most vegetative nutrients, for a loooong time. I use Advanced Nutrients because of the pH perfect witch is perfect. Never used any other brand, not do I intend to. Tap water, usually set for 24h but this grow not so much. The pots are to small indeed but I did not water properly, though some bigger pots would have been nice. That was my plan all along but some things happen and I flowered prematurely.

Dude, talk to @robincnn from https://northerngrowlights.com/
I just bought 2 Photon's from the Eu. Shipped Friday, arrived today ( dhl) . Customs etc were handled in an extremely efficient manner.
I couldn't be happier with the lights. Had a minor freakout when I thought the fans stopped working. They were working fine, I just couldn't hear them. Too used to the Mars II going "eeeeerrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR".
Saving money for 2x Pro9IC.
They have a shop in Italy. Kinda expensive though... maybe prices will drop.
CJ'S are full of seeds... I don't know what happened. I found 3 seeds on the 69 also... maybe the room got pollinated. I taught at first that it may be from stress and shit but 7 plants out of 8 have seeds. Maybe 8-8, didn't check the Happyness.
What to do?

Ouch. That's never fun. But there's nothing you can really "do" per se when you've got buds full of seeds in 7/8 plants. I guess finish, deal with pickin out seeds, or scrap it now, STERILIZE your whole room plus wrap it in brand new panda, sealed, and start over. ..
