The Thermostat Controller (temp, humidity) does its basic job well, but unfortunately I cannot set mandatory minimum fan speed, while still reserving some speed increase for scenarios where one or more thresholds are not met. Another drawback for me is the lack of auto screen off timer setting. I have to turn the screen on and off manually every time.

Excellent bang for buck, but lacks a few niceties of more expensive products.

Base nutrients are great, additions are hit and miss, more of a marketing and money making exercise.

My first seed was a three-leaf whorled phyllotaxy weirdo. I didn't expect much from this particular pheno, but it was very quick to gain plant mass and leaf surface. I fed it 100-105% recommended, which was evidently a bit too much, but I continued doing it for my own research reasons. I delayed topping any any HS canopy management as long as I could to give it as long a head start as I could, because for autos early gains are exponential, as are losses, if stressed too much too soon, thus I decided to do a major de-branching and canopy shaping when she showed early signs of flowering. Smell was weak to medium throughout. I think there is some sour and some diesel, especially mid flower, but overall I am not a big fan of using bright smell references to describe complex nuances of cannabis plant aroma. Have not cured yet. All in all, she survived like a champ excess nutes, excess UV and a hardcore one-time defoliation, to produce a lot of dense, solid and chunky buds. Late flower foxtailing became pronounced on most buds, but by no means are the tails fluffy or light. They are as dense as the core bud itself.

Both pH+ and pH- performed solidly with all Advanced Nutrients products I have tested. Can recommend.

A 6" exit at the top, but no 6" inlet at the bottom of the tent, only 4" — WHY? The extractor fan creates such a low pressure even at 2/10 power that it sucks the sides of the tent in a good few centimetres. And this pushes the plant around. Only one inlet at the bottom, so if you want cold air to get in from the floor level, forget about routing any cables there. Please add a door attachment point further back to make the door sit flush with the left side of the tent when secured open. Please add some attachment points to be able to place a ventilation / grow controller over the front facing floppy fabric ear thing with the logo on it. The price was very good, though! So great value overall, even if somewhat compromised.

No issues whatsoever, except slight nute and light burn (my mistake 100%). I did a few things far from perfect, but she took it like a champ and grew many majestic colas, producing 1g/W!
