Been reading several blogs as a guest for awhile now. Have learned alot...thanks to you all. Still have much to learn. Haven't started any operations yet, still in the research phase. Looking forward to interacting and learning. Primary plan is to convert an outdoor shed, aprox 8x10 in size to a grow room. Will try to keep the questions one at a time but at this point I have lots of questions. Main research topic for now has been lighting. Leaning towards to led, something along the line of the marshydro 600. Primary concerns being, purchase price, coverage area, and operating expence. I live in a very warm climate so heat is a concern. Am willing to install a small ac if necessary, which it would be for the summer months. Once again, greetings to everyone, and thanks for what I have already learned from your various posts. I'm just an old hippie who has been out of the game for 30+ years due to employment related drug testing. Soon to retire...at least within a couple of years...hopefully sooner.
