What’s going on everyone . Just wondering what everyone is using for lighting , tents , nutrients , soil , super soil whatever it is you’re using . I’m going to be buying some near gear soon and before I just buy “what’s hot” and what is advertised more , I want to hear from the growers. Pros and cons and how satisfied you are with it. Thanks everyone !

My grow is 2450 watts LED roughly 48 square feet for flower area and 18 square feet for veg area. Using coco/perlite and high frequency fertigation. Currently my grow is a perpetual with about 10-12 plants in flower at any given time with another 15-20 always in the cloning, seedling, and vegging area that is separate from my flower area. I try to harvest one plant every 8-10 days and then it goes right in the Cannatrol wet and about 80% trimmed. I like to grow short, stinky, and sticky weed that gets me really high. Right now I have some Hindu Kush, Fruity Fun, Cannabliss, White Widow, Affy White, Triangle Kush, Vanilla Velvet, Banana Monkey, Sweet Tooth, Hollywood, Goombay, and Salami Leg growing and scheduled to cut over the next few months. I also use a CloneKing for populating my flower room when I'm not popping seeds. I love my grow and it puts out a lot of weed without a lot of problems. I also use a bud trimmer machine after the dry and cure in the Cannatrol to keep everything low labor and uniform.

Sounds flavorful on your side of town , that vanilla velvet must be super delicious. Nice man seems like you got it down over there! What kind of leds are you using?

A couple of MarsHydro and a few ViparSpectra. I'm thinking of adding another 48 square feet to the flower area for a total of 96 square feet. My veg room could support feeding that for sure. I chopped a Vanilla Velvet today and can't wait to get into that one. She went straight into the Cannatrol for the next 8 days.

Where did you source your WW?

Ah, I see. It's a damn good plant, my first solo grow ever had a pretty big seedsman WW. It's not the real deal, but it's a beautiful plant to grow and decent smoke.

allegedly these are the creators of white widow the original . Worth a shot if your chasing it

I'm in the camp that while Greenhouse formerly had the best WW, some 20+ years ago, it's become a much more indica leaning plant for some reason. The black widow from Mr. Nice would be my pick. There's a guy somewhere running a project crossing the 2, not sure if he's doing selective breeding or open pollination, but I'm waiting to hear what his thoughts are before pulling the trigger.

Let me know when that happens lol I see everyone leaning towards candy strains now . Some classic strains are some of the best smoke .

Man I love getting high classic style! It's the best ride for me. I have some Sweet Tooth that hits nice. It's a Cannabis Cup winner from 1991. I love the raw and strong buzz these strains will yield. I'm growing some Hindu Kush right now and will soon get to check that flavor out. Exciting times we live in for sure.

Plenty of sites to choose from ..... New & Used equipment.
Digital Ballast & Bulbs use more electricity, bulky & give off more heat, also I've experimented with combination of digi ballast w/fluorescent and LED's with good results.
Straight LED's ... light weight, less electricity, less heat. But pricey if bought new (Variable voltage with Veg & Bloom spectrum's).
Depending on your space, consider using a outside greenhouse for Veg 18hrs then bloom area/tent inside 12hrs (use the sun and less power for bloom}.

LED bloom test 25w ea. 4' x 4' x 7' tent .... low heat and low power consumption, performed okay for 25w per tube.
Usually tent is for my clone and seed incubation.....
