ya if you're serious, buy some seed for your next grow...I've put $2500-$3000 into my system, and after that I don't wanna blow my effort by germinating ditch weed lol...I've found the books to be good for getting a general feel of what i want to do, but this site is much better for answering specific questions...I mean, I'm a SOG ebb & flow grower, and there is a thread just for us...probly one for every other type of op too...and ive been able to find answers to 90% of my ?s with just a search
