This is our starting lineup — your votes re-rank it live. A down vote doesn't mean a product is bad, it means "not essential for every grower." No login, no prize, just your call. Every row links to that gear's deals.
How the Top 10 works
What does Need It mean? You would tell a brand-new grower to buy it for their first setup. What does Skip It mean? Nice to have, or only for some setups — not an every-grower essential. How is the ranking figured? By the share of Need It votes, most first; ties go to the bigger vote margin. Do I need an account? No. One vote per item per person; tap your thumb again to take it back, or tap the other to flip it.
