I love growing weed too much

Hello everyone! When I lived in a state where weed was super illegal I would daydream about how to grow it stealthily. I thought maybe about building an underground bunker to use as a grow room or something but I didn't know to do that and it obviously wasn't worth the risk. It may sound silly but growing weed was a legit "dream" of mine for many years.

Fast forward to now and I live in a state where I can grow legally. I started my first grow 8 months ago (white widow!) and fell in love with the whole scene. I had no prior experience in any sort of gardening or growing any plants at all. Regardless, I immediately decided cannabis cultivation was something I wanted to do long-term.

My setup is 3 4x4 tents all configured identically: 4 AutoPot XLs in each tent, coco/perlite 50/50 for the medium, Inkbird humidity controller with a humidifier and dehumidifier in the tent, AC Infinity fans, tent, and controller, and General Hydroponics nutrients. I have 2 MedicGrow Fold-6's in 2 of the tents and a Grower's Choice ROI-E680s in the other, so about 650 watts on each. I don't do anything special or even tangentially organic. I suppose I treat my grows more like a lab setup for an experiment.

I only have 2 harvests under my belt so I'm still learning quite a bit and I'm looking forward to what I learn here!

I've included some photos of my three current grows:
Just starting: Ethos Citradelic Sunset
In veg, filling out the trellis net: white label Northern Lights
About to harvest (week or so): white label Grandaddy Purple

What are you growing right now? Any tips for me?

Your post has brought joy. The enthusiasm...the honesty. All got to me, as it was your title to the post that got me....it's exactly the same for me. I medicate only in the evening....Growing, however is on my mind, and in my heart 24/7. I close my eyes and can see trichomes :) Cheers, and thanks for the awesome read. I grow 2 Auto's at a time in a big NOVA grow box from Supercloset. I grow 1 Auto in a Roommate grow box that was once manufactured in Canada.

And only in soil. HP Promix with Biofungicide, and that long M word :)

Thank you! You ought to make a grow journal - I'd enjoy seeing your setup. I just started one following my newest grow. Fingers crossed everything goes well!

And as a "p.s." Today begins a new protocol for my nutrients. I had been using an all in one buffered liquid nutrient called Mantis that you mix with water. They may or may not be in business and I did not want my grow life to be beholden to that. So as of today I am using Maxsea Veg, and Maxsea bloom....my only other amendments will be Epsom salt, and also Cal Nitrate.

Embrace it. Cultivation is one of the wildest and consistent through lines of my life, and I would not have my career, my home, or my sanity without it. I will quit smoking weed long before I quit being passionate about growing it.
