Well I have 2 weeks before I start, new seeds coming. My golden rules I follow, grow type etc see below.
My two targets are;
1. To complete my spreadsheet that will help growers understand cost,requirements for this type of Grow.
2. To set up my continuous grow for maximum return
Here we go, all this info is generated and/or copied from my spreadsheets.
