What are your must haves

[RootsRuler]

I have a spring fed well for water and many is the time that the PH is banging! Have seen it as high as 9.2.

Great for you. Not so much for your plants!

EC/PPM scale, scale because they aren’t accurate enough to be a meter but they are useful.
Blacklight, see burnt tips, mold, caterpillars, anything out of the ordinary.
Water scale, same, its a guage, not accurate but useful below the surface.
Infrared thermometer, for leaf temps and a laser for pets to chase.
Thermometer/Humidity “guage”.
Good snips, scissors fix is optional for removing resin. I scrape it off.

For the cats to chase
I just got my tent delivered. Going to start setting up and see where I’m at with my supplies and set up

Blacklight....YES. Good for checking for Mildew spores and other funguses that F up your grow. I have them on my Loop but any kind of blacklight will work.

Good tent, correct medium i recommend Fox Farm Ocean Forest, correct light for what you are growing ie autoflowers or photoperiod strains, a good grow agent and I do recommend Botanacare pro grow, a good flowering agent and again recommend Atami Bloombastic both these agents have served me well for over 10 years, Pic is an autoflower I am running called Super Oarnge Haze by the breeder Methisto Genetics and yea good genetics are highly recommended!

Yeah, that little one is like ten or twelve bucks at L*wes, spots a burnt tip the first night.

I was at a Weed convention in California and Advanced Nutrients was giving loops to its preferred customers. My rep slipped around 10 into my bag! LOL!

That’s one area i am lacking. I use a 20-30x magnifying glass and a cheap 100-300x reverse field microscope. Plus the magnifier on the iphone is handy.

Have the intellect to keep it a secret that you grow. Carlos Marcellos said one thing that makes you consider the silence of people. 3 can keep a secret if 2 are dead. That's how serious to keep what you are doing a secret. PH meter is a must grow hydro and you have more control over the results. Water temp is very important and use a 2x2 grow tent that comes with a light and fan. Get a separate 4 inch inline fan and pump air into the tent at floor level the fan and carbon filter will come with a speed control. to slow down the inflow of air use a porous filter over the inlet of the inflow fan along with a dryer sheet. Pipe the outflow fan thru the dryer vent to the exterior. Use a backflow preventer for both the dryer and the inline exhaust fan. Use the 4 part mixed liquid nutrients for your water and use distilled water. Change the water and nutrients every week and adjust for the grow period of the plant. Get all nutrients into water and then set PH at 5.6 to 5.8. Use a good size air stone from Pet Smart with a good $20 pump to keep the water oxygen. Use a website called Grow Doc it will help you every step and has a very good online calculator for VIP measurement to keep you in the sweet spot. Good luck and happy harvest OH. forgot to mention CO2 bag for more weed per grow. It yields another 6 oz per plant. I only grow 1 plant at a time and don't grow while selling any of your harvest. Also don't sell over 1/2 oz at a time then you will stay out of jail and probably way below the radar. Don't sell to anyone YOU don't know. If friends have friends then let them do the handy w

I HATE, being a jerk on these threads, too many aholes out there, but youve never grown dope smoke indoors. .....OK - You're gonna honestly make the statement that with 1 single plant, in a 2x2, by ADDING an Exhale c02 bag? poof, you magically produce 6 ounces more on that plant? You do realize the only need for c02 is when your light output exceeds a certain point?

I'm sorry but I'm calling your bluff. You've watched toooo many YouTube videos and think you're an expert. If you did grow, you'd know....CO2 is required in large grows with high level, high output grow lights....such high output the plants require additional CO2 to breath given the amount of light. Unless for some reason you're running an HLG SCORP in a 2x2....if so, it's a bit too big.

I have sourced out seeds from a few strains that should be beginner friendly.

My advice would be to grow one strain at a time , and keep everything in the tent homogeneous. My first grow had 11 cultivars , 3 different mediums, 3 different pots, it was a shit show.

Hahaha, I did similar, 6 plants, 2 different strains, 2 mediums, 3 plants with Dr Organic Feets, 3 with the Fox Farms Trio.......I was more confused than an Alzheimer's patient in a whore house, keep forgetting why I'm getting screwed!
