I just paid 16 a 1.5 cu ft bag delivered. That is a deal to me!!! The soil is a miracle mix. I have been growing in Pro-Mix for about 40 years. This Fox Farm Ocean Forest is flooring me. Spectacular results. Immediate response. It gives them everything they want from the get go. It is now my soil of choice.

wait ill you get a few gardens under your belt and realize growing your own nematodes is a thing too whoa!
reading these posts im starting to realize that lazy gardeners are fox farms go to wallet fillers. perspective

1.) Yes. You are way the fuck behind the curve. Dump those energy sucking, heat producing old pieces of shit.
2.) Go to Home Depot or order online a $99 Commercial Electric High Bay LED.
I now have 6 of them. The results are spectacular. Deep penetration of light.
3.)Use Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil.
4.) Grab Exhale CO2 generators. They last about 6 months and the results are spectacular. I use 2.
5.) Use 2 -3 gallon pots.
All items can be procured via ebay or amazon.
This is all you need to grow fucking spectacular crops.

What's the footprint of one of your highbays?

You are using exhale so I assume you are running a sealed environment?

yeah i can get maple syrup from the grocery store that i believe is great cause ive never had REAL DEAL syrup.....then i try something from a healthy sugarbush and realize ive been driving a ford escort all the while thinking i was in a porsche ruf 4, what you see as cheap and great i see as helping the prob get worse! perspectives and stuff. then again i digress i dont have christmas trees cause i think its a waste of a good conifer to cut it down in the prime of its life so it can be a living room ornament for a 3-4 week period. perspectives lol

I buy pure organic maple syrup from the store. It's good stuff, not some Aunt Jemima's shit. I also have a living christmas tree, because I like the tree in the house for a few weeks, and then can move it outdoors.

Been growing Cannabis for 25 years now. Have made my own soil in the past. It you have the time it can be a fun experience. I work over 40 hrs a week, so don't have a lot of time to make soil these days. The FFOF I buy for $10 a bag is great stuff.

I can also make my own eggs benedict at home, but it takes a lot of time and hollandaise sause needs to be just right. Sometimes it's just nicer and better to go out to breakfast and have someone make a wonderful meal for you to enjoy. I can afford to go out to breakfast, and have a wonderful meal. That doesn't make me lazy, it makes me appreciative.

Lots of people put their name on a Sylvania. Some ballasts will even struggle to fire anything else. I put them in 3rd place though. With Osram second, because they have to be changed often to stay ahead of my 1st place choice, the Philips CG lamps. Which are about as good as the Sylvania to start with, but just keep on going for ages and ages.

I'm not interested in rebranded stuff or specials. Nor GE. A green power CG is all I need. The MH it's unnecessary growth. I rocket them up to size, then chop the bottoms off anyway.

No reason to. I get FFOF for $10 a 1.5 cu ft bag. Stuff is great and is zero effort.
