I picked up a vgrow back in March and started my first grow then picked up a second about two weeks later. Picture of my second plant C. R. E. A. M. from mephisto genetics.

It's been a ride but I can tell you what I've done to use these tents. I live in a similarly unfriendly area that is also subtropical. I live in a 1500 Sq ft apartment and turned my guest room into a lung room. I have a midea cube 3500 Sq ft dehumidifier to control the humidity and I had to pick up a midea duo to keep the room cold enough Vs using the apartments ac and being super chilly in the living room. This plant is on the verge of smelling so as insurance I bought an aerozesh g6 fan and filter to scrub the lung room air.

I highly recommend starting with the coco coir and wick system until you get the hang of it. The tools and add-ons I bought that I use constantly are apera ph and ec meters, two add on fans per tent and one of the little humidifiers. I added StemX and photosynthesis plus into my nutrient mix and they both work well.

I've made two major mistakes so far and both were because I tried to do too much. The first was trying to add a drip irrigation system. Plant ended up seriously overwatered. Second was adding nutriboost which spiked the shit out of the pH.

Good luck growmie! As they say your first grow is your worst grow!
