Hi Gaz,
Great choice, I felt the same. It's worth the extra cash to have one that is safe, cheap to run, drains externally, has a good range of settings, high efficiency I can vouch for and works well down to pretty low temperatures
I have been coming here every now and again, but hadn't actually joined until just now. Thanks for the welcome!
I grow organically in Ecothrive's Ecolife living / super soil charged up with microbiotic and fungal content and nutrition with a bit of Biobizz here and there to round out any issues - such as their organic Calmag.
I have just finished a crop of Chemdog (GreenHouse Seeds), Skunk #1 (Sensi Seeds) and Cheddar #1 (BSB Genetics).
In conjunction with what is left of the Sour Diesel Auto (Ice Seeds) and Chocolate Mint OG Auto that I grew last spring, they'll get me through the next year. Hopefully, energy prices will have sorted themselves out a bit by then and won't be quite as scary
I will probably pop a could of beans in the ground for summer, but I'm in a city so it'd have to be some stealthy autos tucked in the shrubbery to have a chance
