5 years without growing

The title says it all. 5+ years ago I gave it all up. The lights, co2 mini split everything gone. My collection of strains lost forever. Finally after 5 years I'm back yall. Growing for me served its purpose at the time. As a college student Growing paid My way through school. Now I'm a full time welder but picking back up Growing as a hobby. This tent is 4x4 with rdj bouns 720 watt lighting. Current strains from cookie seed bank( I know I know I probably should have gone through a different company) on the right we have hollywood and on the left we have mind fuck. All started from seed. I scored the 5x5 pro ac infinity setup during a lighting deal for 300 dollars (1500 retail) just waiting to flip to put these lovely ladies in there.

Looking good! Must feel nice getting back to it.

And here is the new ones today. Running same strains. Ended up going coco this round with athena pro nutrients. Also I want to cut up my rdj bouns 720 and add it in my tent for side lighting to get a more even coverage. I figured it would add 60 watts per side on lower settings and it would only be on 2 sides and back wall. Anyone think it's overkill?

Got my side lights up about 6 days ago and flipped to flower. Here's a couple progression pics. Rdj bouns 720 watt cut up and set to 25%. Each strip puts out about 30 watts at this setting. My Evo 8 is currently set to 6 on the ac infinity app. That puts me a little over 600 watts. Ppfd right around 400 with some variation. Pictures are about 3 days apart

It’s been a couple years for me and it will probably be god knows how many more
Landlord hates it…got neighbors literally on every side of me like I could throw a pebble and hit thier house …. Crack heads walking up and down the railroad tracks all hours of the day and night and was going to move to Missouri so I could grow but they are so damned strict about giving out drivers licenses that we decided to move to Iowa instead when the time comes
I hate life sometimes

Keep your head up growmie I'll be shutting down my room for the summer and honestly don't know if I'll be in a good situation to set it up next winter. I'll be moving soon too but I'm hoping it will work out.

Thank you cannabis is the only treatment for my anxiety and ptsd that actually helps me to deal with my problems
The wife says she is proud of me that I did not turn to alcohol and become a drunk or destroy my liver… she is very supportive of me and cannabis in general and says all these so called experts are full of nonsense and have no business being called experts of anything except Lying

I feel that... moved to Missouri, got in as soon as medical became legal, ended up with a great career that happens to give random piss tests, and now Im mostly abstinent... still grow though, for the love of the game.

Hope you end up with a little garden to call your own here soon man, cheers.
