So true. I was adding things up at the start of my last grow and realized that I had over a thousand dollars invested in my equipment, and I hadn't had a very successful grow up to that point. I was actually pretty upset that I'd managed to spend that much cash on what was supposed to be a way to get cheap weed.

And then I pulled 4oz off one plant :stoned:. And my current grow is being done for the price of a bottle of nutrients and some electricity .



As for my biggest mistake - I installed a 400 watt HPS in a 4x4 Hyrdrohut without adding any ventilation. My ambient temps the next morning were 104F :microwave:
