First grew about 10 years or so ago, but had to stop based on housing situation. Just started back up again this year. I started again in soil, established a mom, and have since moved onto Hempy Buckets. I find RIU to be a great source of info! I also like to pass on my knowledge to others, as long as they are grateful! If I help you and you want to argue with me, well to heck with you you - I have no stake in your grow.
