You've left so little out that there's not much to discuss really...
Lol ballast out of the water... Let me say on the record he's not kidding. You WILL spill something. It's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN.

I want to talk about environmental controllers. That's my next big leap into automation! Here's why. SO many of the problems I see new and even old growers having stem from inappropriate heat/cold cycles- even bugs breed faster when your temps aren't under control! My own experience with growing sad yellow plants in a high-temp growroom, even though I knew my shit backwards and forwards, really sucked. Looking back, dropping a k on a controller ($200) and set of accessories to plug into it (a/c ($150), heat ($30), co2 ($300), ducting ($25), fan($250)) would have been a good investment.
Shoulda listened to the guy at the shop...

Noob's guide to growroom set-up : a work in progress Ms Stinky has shamed me. :( Back when she first hung the ??complete noobs guide to growing?, we talked about doing a ?? noob's guide to grow-room set-up?. I never got around to it- then I saw her ?? garden type examples thread?, and it guilted me into getting my ass in gear. So here we have ( at ) it- the ?? Komplete Noob's guide to setting up your first growroom.? I'm gonna start with some meta stuff- questions to ask yourself before you even start. After that, ( I think) Rating: 5
