This episode I'm joined by Chris who is from Maine but currently in Hawaii on a work-cation and it's 5 am there when we record. After covering his history which includes several deployments with the Navy, Chris goes into great detail on how he built his grow room to suit, but also on a budget.

After covering the details and why he set his room up the way he did, we then dig into his tips on what new growers should avoid doing in the grow room. We finish this episode up with why Chris thinks that keeping a consistent journal is critical for increasing yields in your cannabis garden.

Chris joins us for a second part next week to cover all the mistakes he's made in the garden. Be sure to tune in so you can learn more of what NOT TO DO in the garden!
