Greetings Oregonian!
You'll find sticky help threads in all the forums. They'll tell you how to post and upload.
I grew up in McMinnville, and now I live in New Orleans (we have sunlight!). Always happy to see an Oregonian hanging around. Enjoy your grow and post lots of photos... we LOVE to watch the babies grow!
