It's been almost a year since I started growing, and what a year it's been! It all started with a Vivosun 4x4 tent package with a VS4000 light and some DWC buckets. I remember when I bought the light I couldn't find a lot of reviews but I took a chance. It's been a fantastic starter package and I've grown some amazing bud with that light. I grew a pound on my first grow, and grew over two pounds in my last grow!
Ever since my first grow, though, I've been looking to upgrade the light. The light is about 24x24 in a 48x48 tent. It's also only 400 watts, or about 25 watts per square foot. I would like to have 35+ watts/Sqft, and to have more even coverage across the tent. I never felt like spending money to replace it, though, mostly because the VS4000 was doing such a great job.
I was excited when I won the Nextlight 420h for April GJOTM. Together with the POTM prize of the 150h, I was finally going to get more light in the tent. I asked Nextlight if they would be willing to trade both lights for the Mega (even if I had to add a little $) and they replied that they'd check into it and get back to me. Sadly, that was the last time I heard from them. Within days they were no longer a 420mag sponsor. Even on their website all of their lights are sold out (and still are). I worked with Teddy to attempt to contact them and get the prizes I had won, but we never heard anything back from Nextlight. Needless to say I was pretty discouraged.
The fantastic staff at 420 didn't give up, though. When it became obvious that the old sponsor wasn't going to come through with the prizes they had promised, Teddy helped hook me up with a new sponsor. I really can't say enough about the staff here at 420.
Today I'm excited to announce that I've signed a deal with Vivosun as my equipment sponsor.
@VIVOSUN is a relatively new sponsor here at 420 but they've been helping growers for over a decade.
VIVOSUN has pretty much any equipment you need for growing indoors and then some. They've recently stepped in as a new 420 contest sponsor as well.
I've been a Vivosun customer since the beginning. Not only is my tent/light kit from Vivosun, but I have a variety of other Vivosun equipment, including trimming shears, a bowl trimmer, an air pump and air stones, a heat mat and controller, and a bunch of other stuff. I've always appreciated Vivosun for their quality and value. I'll be getting a new light for the tent along with some other equipment to play around with. I can't wait to show you all some of their new equipment.
Of course this really means that you won't be getting rid of me any time soon
I already have my next grow planned out and I'll be going back to seed for the next run. I'll also be sharing some pics of my new (mostly) automated indoor vegetable garden
I'm really excited about having fresh lettuce and tomatoes throughout the year. I might even start up an auto scrog in the smaller tent!
I want to thank
@VIVOSUN for showing confidence in a newer grower. I want to thank my wife and son for all their help and support. And a big thanks to all of you 420 members that help, encourage, visit and support my grow journals. Finally, a huge shout out to 420Magazine and all of the mods that keep this the wonderful site it is. They're the ones that have made this all possible. I hope I can do you all proud in the year to come!
