1st your not being a dick for sharing your thoughts !!! 2nd there is no way you could build what SC gives you for a few hunderd bucks !!! And I have found out that 3 plants at a time is the best way to go in 6in blocks ,,,,, my last run with 3 plants Sour Kush 10.25 OZ's dry weight!!! like I said before the people that bitch bout the price are the ones without the money for it,,,,,,, like i've said i'm running 2 Trinty's , I'm putting out over a half P every 5 weeks,,,,, sooooooooo $$$$$ isnt the problem any more !!! And like i've ALWAYS said could I have gone a cheaper way,,,,SURE!!! But I didnt wanna have to do anything,,,,I was paying sumone else to worry bout all that ! In ending YES there are cheaper ways to grow,,,,I think we all can agree on that ,,,,But alittle thing I found out the hard way in life,,,,You ALWAYS get what you pay for, I wanted the best and paid for it ( got it back 7 fold in just over a yr ) And sumthing else I cant put a price on is,,,,ANY problem i've had SC has knocked it out with a quickness(put a price on piece of mind) And no I have nuthing to do with SC living on the east coast,,,,,,, happy growing everyone !!!!
