You are not sharing your grow with others?!? Shame on your Padre.....
I hate to ask, but you have linked Mars Hydro so many times that I am wondering if you are a shill for them? How did someone with no growing experience at all get a free expensive light with another one promised? Also, I can't believe tat they would insist that you grew autos? There are just things here that don't sound right....
I understand the way it might seem. Truth be told it all came as surprise for me as well.
First part of the answer is that I am not paid in anyway with Mars Hydro.
It is a bit more complicated than it seems on the surface.
I am a disabled priest with the Catholic Church. I have always been intrigued with alternative medicine.
As a result of back injuries and 30 plus surgeries as well as PTSD.
I was obsessed to get off opiates.
This led me first to Ashwagandha, quinine and other natural plants. Finally a Doc my Neurosurgeon sent me to California for 5 years I researched and finally found strains to rid me of morphine and help my pain. Costs are outrageous at dispensaries.
I met and am constantly mentored by veteran growers.
In the process I realized LED was the most efficient for smart spaces where heart is a concern.
As I looked into the lights I found Mars Hydro on the forum's after I bought Autos as well as being gifted photos from buds.
I received a discount on a light in return for documenting my grow.
In return anyone who decides to buy a light using the code PadrePuff also gets a discount. I do have one photo period hybrid the Chemdog×Brutus F3 from a bud.
The truth is I wanted to get my feet wet by trying autos as they seem easier to grow. The one photo Hybrid will probably use the most light once it starts growing. In addition I started another Chemo×Brutus F3 about 4 days ago. It will become visible in Monday's pictures.
Also if I did work for any Light or Cannabis company I would have to let everyone know upfront. I still have a good 2 dozen auto seeds so I will continue to grow as I venture out into more photo period plants. I am hoping to get White Widow and some strong blueberry strain growing after this grow as long as it is successful.
Hope this clears up any confusion.
Blessings Bud.
