First Timer,
Welcome to RIU!
This is the sight I would recommend for you to be able to start out on:
Growing weed can be easy, though some marijuana grow tutorials make it seem like you need a degree in horticulture. Learn how to plant a seed & start growing with as little time and effort as possible, or read our advanced tutorials for monstrous yields!
www.growweedeasy.com
It is set up as tutorials on about every topic.
When you run into a specific question, RIU's search engine is your best friend. If you have a question, there is a good chance that it has been asked and answered before. Then, when you are in a real bind, the old timers around here will know you have been doing your part, and will be more willing to give you a hand.
Very cool you decided to drop your bag seed in some soil. It will be killer to smoke something that you have grown yourself, no matter how it turns out.
Good luck finishing this one out, and good luck on the next one.
Cheers,
WillieP
