just bought myself a 1000w hps bulb with an adjustable ballast got my soil and nutes and i did it cheaply. I'm so damn excited its not even funny. i still need to sterilize my grow environment but i should have everything set up by tonight. Im going to start germinating seeds tonight, I have some bagseed im going to experiment with. sorry for the rambling but I have no one else to talk to about this and I have been planning for months. I'm thinking a grow journal is in order once I get up and running.
