Thank you all for your input, believe me I know the value of the "been there done that" people.
i am a technical engineer and know that expertise comes with experince. I plan to try out a grow with this one plant first. see what kind of results i get.
When I started this I have been a long time pot smoker and more specificly the good stuff....schwagg never did anything for me. I got tired of spendng all my hard earned money on the stuff and decided i should do what our forefathers did and "Grow It".
I had this preconcieved notion that its just a plant, get some dirt (I sprang for soil though...lol) water it, give it light, nutrients and food...after all....Its just a plant. then the buds grow, you cut em and smoke em...easy as pie right?...I could of never been so wrong,,,
I gave google a hollar...because as you all know....google knows... found MP, read about 5 posts and realized that there is alot more to this than meets the eye.
Now I dig deeper into MP and find that this plant, well its actually a flower...go figure....and this flower is much like us, they have male\female sexes, water demands, lighting demands, nutrient demands,. I find that this flower likes being on a schedule,much like our days and nights.
So you think I can conquer the world now? Not hardly..... There is a load of information here that would take me forever to sift through, so my plan is simple,,,,,,get the overview and suggestions, then do it, if i screw it up, do it again...Keep doing it until i get it right...learn by doing....hasnt failed me yet,,,,,,ill get it down with the help of MP and you fine people of course!
