its legal in most states now to grow so it shouldn't be much an issue yea? I dont grow here cause the product is so inexpensive now... I dont want to smoke any more anyhow, so Im only interested in concentrates actually. I used to grow, had a closet when I was 15 and got busted and grounded for not sharing with my dad... who was sorta cool but also not cool at all... but in this case, he and I finally started to bond as we both admired cannabis and playing guitar, loud music, etc.
Now LEDs are good and we didnt have them back then, HPS or HID was the status quo, I still have that Mel Frank bible he bought me at barnes and nobles. lol. I considered it here, growing, but its a pain in the ass for me and being I live on federal property, and my housing is federally funded, I cannot grow in my apt.

lol sucks, but IF I did I could loose my housing. and that is not worth it to me. If IT wasnt legal, ID grow it, regardless... but its so cheap so I dont risk it.
High Pressure Aeration is top dog though, then Deep Water Culture systems iirc. then soil. if you are looking for growth rate. LED and DWC is pretty much easy to go with and low cost, low maintenance, easy to clean too... Ive run all setups personally and had a pretty advanced setup as a kid, I imagine myself and my friend easily competing with whats his name - Michio Kaku, and his garage with the part accel... we has some serious shit for some 16 year olds dude, lol now twenty years later, shits changed a bit... wish we had LED back then!
