[QUOTE="madmarv0525, post: 4308775, member: 225706"] Hello 420 Fam, It has been a long time since I have been on here, so let's catch up. I am a disabled veteran, college student, and father of four. We all live in a 900sf 3br house with my mother, our two dogs, and one cat. Due mainly to poor credit decisions while I was in the Army, but kids gotta eat. I started out with a single dwc in a closet with a 2ft 4 bulb t5. From there i moved to a pop-up ice fishing shanty, and a 400w light. I upgraded to a half-assed perpetual grow with a 1000w hps for flower, the 400w mh, and my t5 for clones. Veg and flower in autopots with a layer of perlite, and my living organic soil that has been recycled for years with better results every time. All went well for a couple years, until it almost started a fire. I am in the process of preparing to make a new room with new outlets from a subpanel. I keep running into financial problems, and the process has been very slow. I have a small room in my basement that I have been cleaning a little bit at a time until my back acts up. The room has bullshit from floor to ceiling, but will end up being a much better space. I wish I could afford new lights, and run the 630cmh lights for veg and flower, but maybe someday after college. For now I will be using the same lights, and sectioning off an area for flower. Other than the lights, soil, and auto pots I will be starting over. Hopefully I will have enough room, and light to veg a few for the garden and all of my veggie seedlings. Any ideas for the most efficient way to create the best environment without much expense would be greatly appreciated.
