Welcome to the site jonblaze,
This is the place to be. Lots of folks here that care about questions and pics and will talk with you through posts and advise you if you have a need, like the hydro question, (germinate then pellets). Your offered here plenty of great reading and the most fun you have ever had with your clothes on. Lots of good laughter here, and you are most welcome to be an active part of it.
We would certainly enjoy some photo's of your grow, and we love to watch the young lady's grow up. LOL Please do feel welcome to be an active member here. Ask questions and even answer them if you feel you want to be of help.
smoke in peace
