The main thing is to get your environment under control. The plants will grow themselves. People spend fortunes on high end equipment but dont get the results they expect.

Not really. A plant has no idea how much money you spent on equipment. It does know if its the correct temp/humidity etc etc. Obviously you should buy the best light you can afford, but in reality all my grows are on cheap lights and have been banging and that is all about environment. All organic so cant even say nutes have helped.

I think I have my environment down. I have ac infinity 67 controller and it's bad ass I get hour,days, weekly, and monthly data on my phone....here's my environment data I think it's been good temp 76°f average humidity 60% average, and vpd 1.41 average...thanks you make me think I can still grow some nice plants.....with the lights I have....

This is my first grow and I went all out...check my grow journal out...now I did mess up on the lighting I went cheap..now I'm stuck with 5 cheap lights in a 5x5 and 36x20x63.. in the future though I'm getting a bad ass light...but as growing grow how you please...I've seen some cool setups on this site......

You don't need the best, most expensive light to get good product. I think it is more important to have your temperature, humidity, and watering right that which light you choose. Now don't get me wrong. Getting the lighting right is important. But I mean the proper light height or intensity for each growth phase. Not so much what light you are even running. I have a growers choice ROI -e680 in my 4x4 but my 2x4 has a Viparspectra P4000..…. I almost bought 3 P100's but got a good deal on the p4000.

Ok I keep my environment on point... I got all the stuff you need to have a good environment.. ac infinity 67 controller and ventilation fan, inkbird humidity and temp controllers, humidifiers with humidistat, fans, dehumidifiers....

That's more than I have.... I am starting a new run using earthboxes this time... For the first few weeks while they don't smell I am trying something different. I am not running my exhaust fan. I'm running a circulation fan, a humidifier, and a big cow exhale bag meant for a much larger area. Once they start to flower I will start up the exhaust fan with carbon filter. Until then I'll keep the cow up, and humidity levels up...

I plan on buying exhale bags...they worth it...they are cheap to...it's worth a try I guess....can they be used during flower?

They can be used the entire grow however in my case I'm guessing they will be much more beneficial during veg before I turn on the exhaust fan. Then I won't be able to keep the humidity up any higher than about 45... Unless having more plants helps. Towards the middle and end of flower I didn't have to run the humidifier. It stayed around 45-50% just from the plants.,.
