I'm not anyone's bro, but with your display of extreme charm and uncommon intelligence, I'm sure it's just a mistake that you failed to notice that I'm a Lady.

Specifically says that you can use gravel. Can grow just fine in it and move up when you have more funds...just like going from CFLs to HPS. I have linked websites and you can google...you're just in denial if you think people have to use Hydroton to have a decent grow. Hydroton is actually pretty shitty compared to grow rocks. Again, you can google that, but it seems like you're just here to argue and be negative rather than learn anything so I'm sure you'll just post another base response to this. To suggest people only grow cannabis if they have money is misguided. MJ isn't just about getting high, it's also experiencing nature and using it's healing properties to be healthier mentally, spiritually, and even physically. Why would you not find a way to have that experience, especially upon discovering that almost anyone can do it with any budget?
Some bud is better than
no bud...have seen quite a few people use "ghetto" methods and pull 2-3 ounces. Lol I don't even know why I'm arguing with you...I guess it surprises me the extent to which a MJ grower can have their head up their ass... naturally expected them to be more open-minded than most people. I'm done arguing with you though. Have posted enough so that if other people come across this thread, they have links to information on mediums so they won't be discouraged by negative nancys naysayers like yourself.
