Well after watching some members of TBL community for over a month. I have pulled the trigger and ordered my stuffs yesterday. I will now be entering the game also growing my own weed for personal consumption. I’m excited and nervous to really be doing this for the first time. Ya as a teenager we played and tried to grow out of a plywood box and a 1000w Halogen bulb.

Things have come a long long ways since those days. SO here I am, a huge fan and a big believer of the TBL crafters and their different ways. I asked my questions and did my homework and am now ready to start my real first crop. I am 100% confident this community will help guide me thu that journey. So for you new crafters .. This post is for you to show what TBL can do for newbs like me.

I will be posting my Shopping List and take lots of pics along the way.

My first purchase I didnt make lightly!

CGE Max300 SP1 Grow light - I ordered from Indoor Growing Canada and got FREE shipping. TheBudLab will also get you 5% off that cost. My saving for this was $126.59 Cdn. I think this was a good investment once you factor in currency exchanges, delivery and warranty. Not to mention ITS A CANADIAN CO!!

VIVOSUN Horticulture 48"x48"x80" Mylar Hydroponic Grow Tent

Professional TDS ppm Conductivity Meter

AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6, Quiet Inline Duct Booster Fan 6" with Thermostat Speed Control, for Heating Cooling Ventilation and Exhaust

Optimus F-0600 Personal Clip-On Fan, 6" - bought 2

VIVOSUN 2-Pair 1/8 inch Rope Hanger

HM Digital TDS-EZ Water Quality TDS Tester, 0-9990 PPM Measurement Range

ThermoPro TP-65 Digital Hygrometer Indoor Outdoor Thermometer Wireless Temperature and Humidity Monitor with Jumbo Touchscreen

PureGuardian H1175 Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier for Bedrooms, Top-Fill, Quiet, Filter-Free, 6.5L Output, 140 Hr, 1.5 Gal Treated Tank Reduces Mold, Pure Guardian Humidifier with Essential Oil Tray
 
Inkbird AC 110V - 240V w/Sensor Humidifier Dehumidifier Humidistat Pre-Wired Plug Digital Humidity Controller
 

Yasumai DC 30X 60X Loop Magnifier Jewelers Eye Loupe Dual Lens Illuminated

Growneer 5-Pack 5 Gallons Planting Grow Bags Aeration Fabric Pots with Handles

MEGA Crop

General Hydroponics CALiMAGic Quart - good calcium / magnesium supplement

Pro Mix HD  13lb bags -  bought 2

4x Auto White Widows -  Crop King seeds

I know I still need to buy a few items. This was just a start to get me up going. I’ll need a de-humidifier or maybe a humidifier to maintain balances. I currently don’t know what the grow area is. So when I get my stuff next week I’ll test and make adjustments.

Day 13 they are taking off, there will always be a stubborn plant in the garden. Slight stretching lower the CGE  to 22-24” so we can find the perfect veg heights for future grows.

All the girls planted the same time WW 2 and WW 3 are doing amazing WW1 and WW4 seem to have their struggles. With Cal/Mag and Ph balancing I'm hoping things will straighten out.
