Damn there are really some aholes on here nowadays. I'm a newb too man well semi newb. Don't kill it, use it to learn. Do what ever you want or have heard might work to it. I did that with my first batch despite majorrrrr setbacks and was content with my 14 dry g's because it was MY success. Makes it a lot easier growing a healthy plant all the way through when you know how to handle a retarded one lol. It gets better and easier.
