After a 2 year hiatus from my last successful grows,BUDREAKY IS BACK.

Nothing is more satisfying than growing this amazing plant. Its the most fulfilling thing I've ever done.if your considering it I highly recommend it.

Recieved my tax return and decided this was my time to strike.spent about 900 on my new setup, most off out should arrive tomorrow. Hope you will join med for the ride, all input and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I bought most of my gear from victor at gotham hydro. Victors a good guy and excellent customer servant. he gave me free shipping and a few price cuts.

I'm having a hard time posting pics.all I have us my phone.any suggestions on a site Thad mobile friendly that I can post my pics too?

Everything is here and set up.I'm loving it.the coverage between the blackstar 240 and the 400w is perfecttt. I believe ill rotate the plants every few days so they all get the benifit of GPS and led. Should be comparable to a 600w or more I hope! The fan itself isn't loud but the air movement is Ethio bearable. I have my fan in a ghetto silencer made of boxes, packing peanuts, and out of style shirts. Makes the total noise a little quieter then my central air conditioning.not bad.
so yeah please tell me a decent image sight. I gotta show off my gear!

Looks nice man! I sold my bs already, not that I wanted to but the old lady was demanding some cheddar after I bought the 600 setup.

Interesting setup BudReaky! How did the final product come out? I'm actually looking into supplementing my 250 watt hps with a blackstar 240. Any Suggestions? The tent i'm currently growing in is 36"x20"x63". Was gonna grow about 2-3 plants and just rotate them like you did. You were the first I have seen with the setup before I. Kudos!
