There is alot of good info here but to a noobie like me it can get a lil confusing. Someone should make a Growing Marijuana for dummies book. lol I keep studying though I think I'll get it all down one day THEN i'll start growing. Wanna try to get the first time around but if I dont at least I tried right, and i'll try try again.
