    Unhappy What was that problem you never saw coming?

    Hey there growers!
    I was bold enough to attempt my first grow ever with hydroponics, and what i can say is that i never saw the war against mosquitoes coming... I mean, at least not this way...
    I'm even thinking about getting back to soil and compost, so i decided that perhaps i could find some solutions to this problems and others that new growers usually don't think about... Or perhaps i'll have the same problems even if I change to soils

    A problem that I never saw coming was running out of cash.

    So many things went wrong that I was spending food money trying to fix them.

    But because you lacked enough information, or because it's just too hard? Could you pleeeeease share some more? that's precisely what i've been fearing, it's an opportunity budget what i have lol don't want to waste it...

    My biggest issue was lighting - as I didn't really want to invest in a decent ventilation system... but I put away a few quid at each harvest & invested... I've never looked back since getting a RVK & HPS

    My breakthrough came when I stopped caring about yield. I have plenty of space so used it to advantage. Do an easy grow and if it doesn't yield enough, buy another light. 2 x 0.7 gpw yields more than 1 x 1.0 gpw. As it happened, my lazy grow yields went up to 0.8 gpw in a cold cellar.
