If you could pick one of the best pieces of advice to a newbie, what would it be?
Don’t be cheap when buying lights!

Lights, lights and lights.
I wasted $450 on two lights. Oh they worked as the two gave 550 true watts. But the heat was bad.
After joining here, I got onboard of the HLG lights. Those 2 set me back $800 but the first crop made up for it.

Good one, I did my research on that. Thanks
Next I would say a Cannabis friendly soil.
Then nutrients like Jack’s 321. Cheap and easy to use.
A pH meter like Apera 20. Used by many. A TDS meter like Vivosun.
Indoor I guess a tent. A lot do small tents and then they run out of space. If you have space for a 4x4 tent, do it. I use a 4’x4’x80”.
Many use a dehumidifier. AC Infinity fan based on size of tent. Fans…if clip ins secure them or they can fall and kill your plant. I killed a few when my glasses fell off. No wearing glasses in the tent.
This is a good start.

Good ones. I wear my sunglasses in there lol. I did tie one of my fans. It fell as well. Luckily, I’m just getting started. Thanks, I’ll tie the others as well.

Yeah, I posted earlier on another thread that I’m going to have to replace my Velcro on my window. Lol
I’m still new but I agree with Lights. I wasted $ on blurples and then ended up buying something that would get the job done from HLG. Also having a proper PH meter, and proper exhaust / intake.

U all set. Do u have a temp control or way 2 monitor humidity
I’m using intake from home ac (not direct) but the RH is set auto @55%
You didnt get the controller 67 with your tent and filter
2- 6in Osc fans
1- 10in intake(so to speak) fan

I’ve got a Thermpro in there but it’s not got an alarm per say. I’m probably peeking every 3 hrs or so. That’s why my Velcro is wearing out. Lol (not really, just playing).
