You just need to have a spine on this forum. Balls help, but aren't necessary. There are quite a few girls that grow better weed than most of us with balls, lol.
I'm talking about you @ganga gurl420 , I know I'm a dork, lol.

Yes indeed. Some have a thousand pics. Some have a thousand attacks. I'd listen to the guy with the pics. Unless it's my pics. @Jeffislovinlife Is always kind and respectful. If a bit proud? Then more power to him. He earned it.
Carry on good man. Please excuse the interruption. Had to reply to that kinda garbage. Peace and health to you and your plants all.

Man I'm on a budget to. Kids, bills, exc. I'm trying to pull off a decent grow and end up with a decent product at the end for cheap as possible. I heard building your own LED'S is a really cheap route. But I'm scared I'll burn my house down!! Lol. I really don't know what to do. I go to a grow shop and kinda feel stupid cause I literally know basically nothing about lighting or anything. Idk but thanks for your time and appreciate the advice

I really don't know the size. I got a spare room I guess I could make it whatever. What's a good size to start with. 4×4?? Idk. And I really didn't want to spend 5 or 6 hundred on lighting to start but you kind of have to to get quality lights right

Quality LED isn't cheap. HID lights are much cheaper.

I have a few of the 100's and they're great. I have 2 135 V1's in 5000k in my 2x4 veg tent now set at 90 watts a piece.Hey, I bought a couple hlg100 v2 for a little closet grow im doing.

My 100's are in 3000k so when I used them in there they stretched a little more due to the spectrum. But still way better than T5's. My only complaint with the 100 is that it can't be dimmed, but it's not a big deal.
I took this to show the 2 V1's at 90 watts a piece a bit ago in the 2x4x5 tent.

The HLG V1 5000k for veg. In my flower closet I have 2 260 Rspec's, a 135 Rspec, and 2 100's running now. I have a couple CMH right above the 100's that aren't on now to save heat. When I can I do QB, CMH, QB, CMH, QB.
I also have a couple new V1 260's in 3000k in their boxes that I was gonna replace the 100's with for when I want to do LED only, but haven't done it yet.
