sell some weed man, good money i spent over a grand on my grow setup; but honestly its worth it in the long run as i wont have to waste money on upgrading; i say go hard or dont go atall; eventually im sure 100% of people that continue to do more grows after there first end up upgrading for better products; you might as well go for itDont get me wrong...Vented hoods are good for heat management, and the glass enclosed ones are really safe.
But i just dont see it worth it to spend $100 on a good vented hood, then another $100 or so on a good exhaust fan, unless you have a big, sophisticated setup.
I plan on getting a Super Sun reflector kit next year for my tent...I think i'll need it for the summer next year...But i just cant afford that shit right now...
