Team, let it be known that the little guy such as myself went up against the "professionals" in the last Mars-Hydro Cup. My entry was in the journal category and won best journal. So with this company's contests anyone can win. All it takes is the right set of photos of our wonderful plants. Don't allow anyone's equipment intimidate you all from even trying. Go for it team. Love my Mars-Hydro equipment and this community. Grow on!
