Lol dang... I see this and feel like I should stop worrying about what light to use for my first grow. It's weird because I know a little bit about electronics (though nothing about actual light) and i feel like there SHOULD be a difference. All it takes is a weak solder connection or a faulty component like a diode or resistor and you could actually have a fire. All that said... THIS is pretty damn cool to look at.

I do see what looks like several lights in the tent, is all the light coming from the cheap amazon lights or no?

So I have 4 king 1500watt. One Finest1500watt, and a Finest 3000watt in there. The 3000watt was $300. The rest were
$150..
Indeed. Many people like to put alot of attention on lights used but can't keep their ph correct or thier humidity in check. Kind of like having $3000 golf clubs but still sucking at golf because you lack simple fundamentals.
I'd check out Maxsisun lights. I've seen great grows and results with them.
Anyhow, yes, the lights being used are on the lower end of the cost spectrum from Amazon.
Cheers!

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of a mars ts1000 in a 2x2. I'll check out the light you suggested. I was mainly worried about differences in the spectrum and the brightness but I'm starting to think as long as I have the right amount of light in the right space it will probably be good. Right now I'm trying to research fixes for mold and pests because I think that's going to be my biggest weakness for my first time.

Looks like you've got some yeast and sugar brewing... should hang that above your plants.... Co2 is heavier than O2.

Nope. Citric acid and baking soda. I seal up the tent vents for a few hours. It's not constantly in operation since I gotta keep an eye on it. Cheap solution though at around $40. Extra of you want the solenoid valve but I don't find it useful. I'll play with more though. I just don't wanna risk getting citric acid in my soil

Way back when I tried what you're doing! And it sounds like you already know its not really effective. But you're probably of the mentality that "it couldn't hurt" right? Im like that too and in this case fermentation is the way to go because you can drag it out waaaay longer and its steady.
You like beer? Pop one of these in the corner of your tent! Definitely couldn't hurt and the beer is delicious!!

Always cheaper ordering direct, I have 12 boards, drivers, and heatsinks on the way. Around 1400-1500 true watts. Cost me half what a new Gavita would have. Mine still use same diodes as name brands as well. Just soooooo much still diluting the market with crap. Some know how and you can do just as well as the Big Boys.
