Alas, were this a perfect world, I'd be inclined to agree.
I've mentioned this before, but good luck telling me I can't do something that I've been doing for years quite successfully. Not much I can do about local the weather except to patiently adapt and compensate. (while smoking some awesome home grown) :jointsmile:

Is what I do optimal...? Yes, I feel that for my grow conditions it is.

Am I successful growing a bit hotter, a bit drier...? Yup. But I also compensate. (raising lights a bit, more aggressive fan blowing heat up from top of canopy, only one HPS on at a time, on 6 hour shifts, adding a bit more water to the daily schedule, split nutes to twice a week, instead of once a week, flushes every few weeks or so to help lower root zones to get some fresh 'stuff'...) Adds a week or two to the schedule, but my methods work fine.

Would I rather I had a better A/C, to cool the room down better or a self-filling humidifier...? Possibly. But there's a bunch of shit around the house I just can't afford, and have learned to do without. A better heater for the winter months would be nice, too.
Am I going to get anal-retentive, and not grow because I can't afford a lab-quality grow enviornment...? No, I just make do with what I have to work with. :thumbsup:

I guess while some are worried about what they can't provide, my approach is to see what I can provide. It has worked well enough for me so far, that I even have the freedom to experiment.
