The line is great man, no negatives at all meant there. Get your butt on YouTube and learn, that's all i did. Growing your own smoke is so freeing bro. I love going out to the med cabinet and getting to choose which strain I will smoke or vape, and having both daytime and night time smokes is also nice. Like most, I never really had control or knew what I was getting. Now that all changes. Now I have to force myself to take a day off from medicating from time to time just to keep the head clear enough to be fully functional.
You will see, the Autopots are cheap, and will save you money in the long run. DWC is great, but tons of work compared to the Autopots. I still have two dwc systems now sitting there on a shelf with my old hps light as well which lasted a whole two grows before I realized that the how was too hot and using too much power, and the dwc was too much labor and worry.
You will find your way. Once you get the buds flowing, you will see that the costs will offset in a short time. Within one year, even if you do invest a little more coin, you will get that back. Consider that in my last grow of four ladies i harvested around 600 grams of top of the line smoke and another 100 of ok stuff I made 10 grams of hash from. 600 grams of top bud and 10 grams of super hash. The value on that is enough to offset the costs alone, let alone you can have three to four grows at least yearly. Big savings and, of course, some friends who "just love stoping by your place" from time to time.
It's all worth it!
