1st Legal Setup
Legal Info*:
As of today there is NO legal guidelines to grow cannabis (or marihuana) in the state of New York. So technically ALL growing is still ILLEGAL until these guidelines are written. Allegedly the law will give all NY’ers the ability to grow 3 adult and 3 infant plants at a time with medical users able to start around January and everyone else approximately up to 18 months. As of now this is ALL alleged so stay tuned, stay safe.

On with the show…
So my initial shopping spree ended in a wild array of no name to commercial grade equipment. With some returns, exchanges trial and error I’ve pretty much narrowed it down. Still searching for small oscillating clip on fans that have mysteriously disappeared from existence and are replaced with $40 and up options I’m not willing to take a chance on. With that said after looking at my purchase list some will say $40 is nothing though let me let you into my purchasing habits.
When getting into any project my first consideration is to keep the budget as low as possible. No brainer you might say. Though this does NOT mean purchasing the cheapest equipment. That will usually end up costing more in the long run. So after days to weeks of research I normally pick and choose some trusted no name products, name brands that still stick by there products and commercial application equipment. Many items are purchased from Amazon though I also try to give local shops the same business when applicable as you normally get way more for your dollar. These stores are part of our local communities and gain a lot of knowledge throughout the years. So stay kind and who knows what gems they may drop on you.

PLEASE COMMENT
Items purchased included:
- Vevosun 24”x18”x36” (Seedling/Clone & Mother) tent
- Opulent 4×4 (Veg/Flower) tent
- Extensive AC Infinity HVAC system (Partial overkill for my needs, yet it will grow with me 😝)

- Multiple Fans including a 12” hurricane wall fan that are currently NOT in use (Yes… We’ll get into it later)
With a few more odds and ends the spree must come to an end as I now attempt to find that right medium and temporarily stop this excessive cash leakage, so I can enjoy something other than Ramen and water for a change 😝
Side Note: It’s all smiles til you think of those who don’t even have that, So if you also can do these things PLEASE also find ways to help others less fortunate than yourself for whatever reason, karma is Real.
After that mouthful, let me step away as I start creating reviews and footage to go along with this experience and let you in further on my journey that hopefully can help you in yours. It all starts now !!!
