Introduction
After two rounds of our own recreational indoor grow here in Southern California, I think it’s safe for us to provide you with a basic list of tools to begin your very own grow. Yes, this is highly opinionated list but it’s our hope you consider these suggestions as part of your own Cannabis grow.
Our previous checklist was more of a philosophical gut check, if you will. However, in this round, this list is more so a recommendation of the tools you’ll need to get your lab up and running. Do note, we offer this list in grow phases but if you feel that you’ve got budget and space for everything from the start, go for it.
Good luck, enjoy and feel free to drop in your opinion in the comments section below!
