Hey GC community, I've been following various grow journals and reading information on here for years now. Finally, I am at the point in my life where I'm ready to begin providing myself with my own medication. I am not finished ordering all my equipment to get my first tent up and running but this is what I got so far: Amazon: Secret Jardin's DR90II - $172.78 150 lb ProGrip light hangers - 23.84 600w 5th generation dimmable digital Lumatek ballast, 6" Radiant AC hood, off brand 600w HPS, 8oz of PH up & down - $344.00 600w Virtual Sun MH bulb - $29.00 Local hardware store: 4, 6" clip on fans - $53.00 Last 4 8qt bags of perlite in town! - $17.00 40 lb bag of Peletized dolomite lime - $8.00 Walmart: Twine (SCROG construction)- $3.00 10g distilled water - $10.00 Next week: Planning on receiving some of this stuff in the mail. Then order my first of (2) 450 Vortex fans, one for light, one for filter, they will both be on dimming switches tho. Also order a speed controller and a Flame Defender Extinguisher 2Kg. I still have many things to purchase before this gets going. - Insulated and non insulated 6" duct - Another 450 CFM Vortex fan - 2nd Dimming switch - Sentinel Timer and EVC! - DWC Setup - SCROG setup - RO system - Co2 - Meters, testers......... dehumidifier, humidifier, portable AC.. And 50 other things List goes on and I'll update. I'm really debating going hydro with 5 gal buckets. I was so set on going with soil, FFOF&FFLW w/ perlite , full line of nutrients. I've seen much better results with hydro so I'm leaning toward it. Would cost me the same for the setup that it would for soil. I'd plan on getting an RO system if I do. I know this may b overkill, especially ventilation .. But I plan on expanding Anyone got a suggestion on a badass dimming switch? I've read horrible things bout the common ones
This week ordering a Panisonic Whisperline 240cfm for filtering the room. Looking at a 440 one for cooling the 600w.. Any input on this ?
grow seems legit bro. ill sub. thats a hell of a shopping list, but atleast your starting right. i started buying shit for my closet then shitty cfl hoods and a bunch of 105w bulbs and blah blah blah and now that im on a 600w hps grow i almost kick myself in the ass and wish i would have just started at this point. luls what strains do you plan to grow btw?
Would love to post some pics but I only have an iPhone . I never take pics on it for the location tracking reasons. For strain I'm thinking big bud x white widow Just ordered a flame defender 2kg and full line of fox farms nutrients and additives ( cal mag, molasses , ect) Gonna try to find a camera to upload with
You know you can disable the location services correct? That is what most people post with on here anyways. I use the fox farms nute line it works wonderfully man just make sure you supplement it in small dosages.

guys i need an expert opinion. If i put seedlings under a 18w seed light which works well and they get about 20cm tall and develop a bit, can i put them under the 600w MH straight away if i keep the light at a distant and good airflow and ventilation or will they get fried?

I just figured out that all 600w mh bulbs suck .. Except maybe digilux? I'm gong to order one and compare. Tomorrow I'm ordering my 5gal smart pots, and a few misc little things . Also going and getting, insulated 6 in duct, reg flexible duct, aluminum tape, duct clamps, PVC ,fittings, self tapping screws (to build scrog frame) and bungee cords to hang fans. Any info on uploading with iPhone, no location track on pics.. I don't take pics on here for that very reason.
