well true, his care giver is fucked up and should own up to the weed he should get, i will retract and say that i was wrong by saying that to you, i am having troubles with some of my patients demanding more "free" weed than they are expected to get, i told them it costs 10 bucks to change caregivers. thus i took it out on ya, i apologize.
as for people with budget grows, good luck.
i have multiple atmospheric controllers for both veg and flowering room. i have installed an inconspicuous separate ac unit outside for the grow specifically that can run throughout the winter and runs below 0* F. i run co2 by the tank and by burner in both veg and flower rooms. i dont spend alot on nutes because thats a joke, i spend money on bulbs, ballasts, tanks of co2 (weekley), co2 controllers, Humidity controllers, ect. i only use high end equipment because i want high end product. you get what you pay for, and most of the time you get marketing from companies. i dont know how many of you purchase high end light bulbs but a 1000 watt horti blue costs 240 bucks at the hydro store and for whoever has a, or multiple like i do, Co2 controllers, those arent cheap for a nice one. i dont order online because that leaves a paper trail directly to you know where. i mean who has seen a 5x raise in electric bills, shit isnt cheap or "free" for us caregivers work directly with cancer research centers and people that have debilitating conditions.
