I've grown off and on for the last 20 years. HID only I've been under a rock evidently but all this LED technology looks awesome! I've always just lurked but unfortunately stormy weather is what brings me out. We recently had some unexpected strong storms in my area and it brought a lot of trees down. Well....... One of those trees decided to make my families garage it's final resting place. I am actually happy because my sons, wife and myself were not injured and our cars weren't in the garage. However, amongst all the carnage , what hurt the most to lose was my grow that I was just starting. Along with the equipment that Supports it(hps light, mh light, grow cube)! I think my fans are salvageable. Lol Mind you, it wasn't huge, but it kept my wife and I in medicine and was really an important part of the household. So in the spirit of "I gotta get growing" I hit the webz! So far I have learned : 1. I really wanna move outta the 90s and use LED lighting of some variety since they seem ideal for me considering I never go any bigger than 4x4x6 anymore and dealing with the heat is a pain. 2. I am a dinosaur in the growing world now. 4.the industry is more full of false advertising and bs claims than ever 3. HIDs are so cheap now they almost give em away for signing up for the sites newsletter.
4. LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, we can't afford any of it! Bad timing, universe outta whack.... I dunno.
Regardless, I got a lot of reading and learning to do so I can catch up. At least that way...... However long it takes to acquire lighting of SOME KIND, at least I'll be a smarter grower for it and my family is okay. I may even look around for broken/unwanted equipment that folks are throwing out. I'm sure that I'm quite capable of nearly any repairs seeing as my day job is Commercial HVAC-Technician. Actually, I've got an old furnace that I could gut for a new enclosure, it's 24wX32lX42h. Would probably need to be LED due to heat, one or two plants scrog. I dunno, anything is a possibility now.
Sorry folks, I'm rambling. Anyways, I look forward to learning from you all and if there is anything I can do to help any of you, that's what I'm here for.
