It totally is, I had the same chat with the GF when she said she doubts they will send any gear.... and half of the prizes are discounts I guarantee are way less than their profit margin so some winners will directly add profits.

....all that being said I'm broke but desperate for a bigger light so I'm gonna work it lol

they send their prizes, we dont allow advertisers to not follow through with their giveaways,

So the rules state youtube and forum views only....but who knows how accurate they will be. Or do you mean the posts I'm gonna have to make to pull people to the other content? Either way it is a PITA

You can still leverage those outlets to push views on your threads/videos though, and will likely be the best way to earn views if you already have accounts dedicated to weed related stuff

Thanks for confirming Sunni! I really appreciate it.
I was already pretty sure it was legit- it's just good advertising. That was just the playback of my conversation with the GF trying to convince her :-)

For sure- actually since I'm planning on going commercial anyways I'm pretty open about growing on my personal Facebook.

Thanks, I wanted a way to extend the seasons for as cheap as possible. $2 for each piece of PVC, $15 for the 2x4 and $15 for the floating row cover... the big expense was enough soil conditioner to make our local clay useable.

My tip? Do 2x 4x20's... your hoops will be taller and reaching in more than 2' from any side is a PITA... I had to toss a paving stone in the middle to step out to for planting and such.

Well my plan to set up the drip irrigation tonight got delayed until new parts arrive on Sunday. Decided to try a new brand of fittings on amazon and they were for .51 ID max not the .6 ID tubing I have... cheap crap. They looked awesome- basically an inline manifold for 4x 1/4 inch. I didn't have any transfer barbs sitting around so I had to order some more.

Okay yea so completely changed plan from the original idea is to go super basic... i.e. a drip system ANYONE can set up in ~20-30 minutes (not including timer/schedule etc. if the person wanted to automate it).

5 Gallon bucket - $2 - ace hardware
130 GPH Vivosun pump $ 16 - amazon
1/2 inch poly tubing - ~$5 - leftover (drip depot)
1x Drip T - $2 (drip depot)
12x 1/4 inch transfer barb - $5 (amazon)
2x Drip elbow - $4 (drip depot)
2x 1/2 inch encaps - $3 (drip depot)
1/4 inch distribution tubing - $10 (drip depot)
12x 1 GPH rainbird pressure balancing emitter - $5 (lowes)

About $50 altogether and you will have plenty of extra tubing from this design if you want to expand or your grow tent is a different layout.

Waiting on the last parts to get in today/tomorrow. The manifold is already built just can't hook up the emitters without transfer barbs
