New grower setup advice

[sgiacomo]

Not sure how good of a deal it was, my local shop matched Amazon’s lowest listed price of $1525. I think it has already paid for itself

[s62]

Wow, that’s great! Did you find a good deal on the mega?

[sgiacomo]

Hi s62. I love it! Have only competed one grow of Royal Kush that was amazing but am only a 2-3 weeks away on some GG4 and they are loving it. After I bought my light I had a chance to meet a couple of their company reps at a local supply shop. Cool people backing it with a 5 year warranty (at least on the Mega) and told me they would overnight the replacement if ever needed.

[s62]

How do you like your NextLight? Thinking about getting the Core for myself.

My first indoor tent was a 2-2-4, like your taking about, I used a cheap 300watt ,145 watts at the wall GH led ,and about ten 100watt equivalent cfls,
And I got just a few grams short of 8ozs dry bud from a Northern Lights auto from Nirvana. Good dense bud.
But I was constantly training her to keep her as short as I could.
DW2 uses cfls, and so does 9fingers, and they grow awesome bud.

I went with a taller tent and spent as much as I could on my light(NextLight Mega). My first grow of Royal Kush was great. I use a carbon filter and it works great too.

it is also worth mentioning, Greenone, that there are strains out there that produce no smell or minimal smell, Northern Light and Blue Mystic for example. I just finished my first grow of NL Auto and can confirm any smell was barely noticeable even without a carbon filter.

Yes, it wasn't cheap. I invested some inheritance money I had in the first one, and they gave me a really good deal on the second one.

Greenone My yields have been improving as my grow skills have improved. I'm trying to get up to around 12-16 oz per box. I believe it can be done. Last grow I yielded 14 oz between the 2 boxes, but I'm hoping to beat that on this grow.

[Greenone]

I hear you Dude. I am a little worried the yields will not be enough.

[Greenone]

What kind of yields do see usually see with those grow box’s?

[Dude]

Sorry Green one, my suggestion is to always overbuy if you can. It's better to have room to grow into that grow out of. And for the height, I agree with 6-7'. You could probably get away with smaller but what I suspect happens is after you get bugs worked out, no pun intended, and things begin to roll for you as they will, you'll be wanting more room.

[Dude]

Quality isn't cheap for a reason.. Compared to the return, it's pennies on the dollar. Everyone's different and I respect that, my thoughts are buy once cry once. The picture is for a anti mosquito unit that works well in case anyone's in need of a proven product. I've used mine for over a year now and it really is amazing. I think it's about 45.00 with a starter kit that includes three patches and one butane tank. Each patch last up to 3-4 hours and the butane lasted for all three patches. I know it's off the wall but with wears going on with the mosquitos now days it's better safe than dead. ✌️ Everyone.

Wow thats a great set up. But holy smokes. That must have cost quite a bit.

[alltatup]

I have two grow boxes which definitely limits the height I can achieve. This is the model: https://www.bcnorthernlights.com/products/room-mate

This was ideal for me because when I started 3 years ago, I knew nothing about setting up a grow room from scratch and I didn't have the time. I wanted stealth, hydroponic and quiet.

Your obsession with GWE is a healthy one!! You couldn't have come to a better place to learn how to do this.
