Ok so here's a quick rundown on my situation. I was planning on starting my first grow soon using the money I got in tax return, sort of as an investment.

Hi. I would like to model my spydrx plus unit so that the power supply is remote and can be placed outside a tent. It's just to damn hot even with a exhaust fan and a 4" intake from an AC unit. Their new version has this feature and to be honest most manufacturers should at least offer a...
