The aero kit is a winner, the plants are growing nicely and the root system is awesome, I am in love. Would I buy a second one, no, probably not, it seems to work well but I would like to venture further in my growing skills, I fancy trying to make my life as easy as possible, the aero kit does that, although I do have power outages and that means the pump stops working for the sprayer, I think super soil and just PH water is the way to go, keep things simple, I am thinking maybe a new LED light though, running the HPS is fine, but theres still a bill to pay.
@Ferenc, thank you, my other grow is going well too, this happened as a sideline of trying to heat up my tent, lol, ah well, loving the process and love reading the grows of the wiser. x
You can build a bad ass grow light fairly easily for half or even a quarter of the cost of what's available on the market... check out my build, I have pictures of my light in the germination stage. I got the cost down to about $250 on the second one I built. I used Samsung Horticulture L2 grow strips on the first one and Chinese strips bought from Alibaba on the second. The performance on both are outstanding. I also took PAR readings to compare with other lights... pictures of the graphs are on the germination stage of my grow as well.
