LeshyGrowsPL Hey everyone! Let’s start things a bit differently. Many growers begin their journey by dropping heavy money on high-end gear: top-tier lights, tents, complex filtration systems, and advanced automation. In this project, I want to prove that you can achieve great results on a tight budget. You don't need a fortune to get started—just a sharp eye for detail, patience, adaptability, and a hands-on approach to problem-solving. For this run, I’m sprouting seeds from #Royal Queen Seeds. We aren't building a high-tech lab here. My goal is simple: to show that you don't need to spend big to get impressive yields and top-shelf frost. I’m actually running a second project on the side with a full professional setup, but I intentionally wanted to focus this diary on market-grade, budget equipment. I want to highlight the real limitations, challenges, and everyday hurdles that any home grower might face along the way. I hope you guys enjoy this experiment—whether as a practical guide or just an interesting observation. Stay tuned!

W1 update for LeshyGrowsPL! We hit the ground running with NYC Sour Diesel Auto. Week 1 was all about dialing in the environment. I set the lights to ~160W at 50cm, later tweaking parameters to keep optimal intensity without light stress. Early on, the seedlings showed drooping leaves. Instead of overwatering the soil, I diagnosed low humidity (VPD) as the culprit. I boosted RH to 65–70% by misting the tent walls, instantly bringing back leaf turgor. Watering was kept strictly to heavy-box checks to protect expanding roots. Right plant is taking a strong lead! Ready for week two.
