I been planning this for about a year,after lots and lots of research on my phone I decided on a Maxx Power unit. I couldn't find much about this product at all but after talking to Dave a part owner I was convinced. I added up the cost of diy and it was too close to the cost of a 6 plant Maxx Power aeroponic unit. ($250 for the Maxx Power unit) The light is a Greenhouse electronic ballast with regular open reflector, I paid $150 off craigslist and even got the reciept for warranty and a metal halide and hps flower bulb. The nutrients are Dutch Master,I'm interested in trying Advanced Nutrients in the future. This is my first grow and I'm just doing this as a hobby. I'm really impressed by the Maxx Power unit and I sleep peacefully knowing I don't have to keep adjusting my setup. I have pics on facebook,I have a hard enough time posting here from my phone so to see pics on facebook look up simon yaknoodle and put rollitup somewhere so I know you saw this post. I'm growing Super Lemon haze with clones grown from seeds from Greenhouse in Amsterdam. Yes the Cannabis cup winner strain!
