You're exactly right when you say get your space prepared. My girls are about 10 days out, still in the mail. Thats why I was hoping to address the temperature and humidity issue before they come. I am about to pull the trigger on 600w Mars Hydro full spectrum panel for my light source. In the mail as well is a digital PH tester and a hygrometer/thermometer. Timers, fan, external reservoir for watering, powerstrip with surge protecter, reflective materiel, all checked off the list. If I am correct, all I have left is to determine a growing medium and what ferts/nutes to get for my autogrow. Thanks for keeping me in check Elsamuri!
