Hey Fam,
I'll be using this thread to share my first grow setup. I'm open to general feedback, but I also have a few specific questions that I'd like answered. I'm hoping that by sharing what I have so far you can help me figure out if I'm missing anything and what strategies and products I should deploy.
I've recently purchased the bulk of the equipment required for my first grow. Some I have on hand, some I'm still waiting to arrive. Long story short, I'm not in a position to setup/test anything now or provide environment conditions such as avg. temp/humidity. What I do have is my equipment list and the details of my plan.
Grow Plan (Simplified Edition)
Single Grow
So the questions I have right now are:
To close I'll share this before picture of the space I have cleaned out for my grow. I'll likely add more pics as I get things set up.

- I'm considering buying Hydroguard for preventative/treatment, worth playing it safe from the get-go?
To close I'll share this before picture of the space I have cleaned out for my grow. I'll likely add more pics as I get things set up.
