Ive been lookng at a few forums that would feel comfortable. This seems to be a good forum community without angst and simple good vibes. You are a credit for creating and maintaining a community.
For me, I'm bootstrapping a 30"×50" basement area for gardening inside. We like Thai foods so much that we started growing far east herbs and chilis. Everything was growing outside, but weather turned harsh. I was too stingy with nutes, but getting plants inside forced me to take better care and the plants are loving it.
Now that i've practised some and have a bucket of chilis, I'm expanding into a couple plants for personal re-creation with a DWC pair of planters. Two seeds have just popped and in the seed tray. My choice was a sativa hybrid that I am going to force to a scrog. I haven't smoked for quite a few years. (I never wanted to risk being ensnared by drug test roulette.) I don't have that worry anymore so it's time. I hear that potency is much higher now. I don't want to sit around vegging myself, locked onto a couch. That's why i am drawn to Sativas over indicas.
My two weak areas in growing are that I need to add a dedicated clone/veg area and more light. I purchased one knock off "600w" LED box. It draws 90 watts in veg cycle, 90 watts in bloom cycle, and 130 watts with both. I don't have a light meter, but fwiw, the light is blindingly intense. Inside 18" was too intense for my plants. The "600w" model name refers to their designing the LED output to approximate a 600 watt standard HID. Published numbers match. We will find out.
