I think folks should grow tomatos and green peppers before they attemp MJ. One needs to learn the fraities of plant cultivation and fruiting. You never know you may like it and pick up a hobby and have no need for medication. Let the tomatos be the tasty guini pigs. Watering habbits and maintenance would likely be very low on the AG. Also the deluxe model has abundant light volume and light hright flexibility. I suppose MJ would grow very good, but i think the AG's true value is growing rare herbs and vegitation for home landscape transplant. It would be cool to do like a shaman mix using legal buzz plants along with or w/o MJ. In theory, if one had two deluxe AGs they could cover they're personal use requirements. The whole cfl and co2 and irrigation systems maybe are just too big a grow for most, maybe this AG is for you, the only way to know is read more peoples BS, sort out the facts, and make an informed decision....hahhaha.....but get one. LED systems look cool too, grow food with low, low power ussage! Lets all us pot heads invest in this all at once, in a few years we may all be living really good. with money comes opportunity. LED's would allow for energy efficient low heat/maintenance lighting. Less water evap, just so, so, future tech. We could grow all of our own food with 0 dependance on other countrys...sim, conditions. The US could be the world leader in this new agriculture. Then we can use the field to grow hemp for biodiesel. We have to come off of petrolium, if there is something better, and its MJ......that just seems too good to be true right. MJ would not be good for Dupont Industries (oil based products and large lobbist) Basically we are coming to a point where big companys are making big layoffs, this means that big companys like Phillip Morris and Dupont can't use the "jobs" issue as an excuse anymore. If so many others are losing thier jobs now is a better time then ever to attack PM and Dupont Industries. Have they made any job cuts? Ok i'm done
