Ah, I remember my first grow. Bought a 1,000 watt MH and grew one sativa that I didn't have the patience to let finish. But Girl U is Cray-cray. I bin on the first couple pages and then hit the last four. So all this advice? gonna mess you up. You have a garden. You have house plants. I gleaned this from the thread. I trust they are doing well. You didn't worry like this on them I hope. So you have some$$$$$ invested and you want an ROI (return on investment). This is a long game. My advice? take it easy and don't get worked up. I do it as a hobby, for the love of it. Sure I break a branch now and then. Now, I cruised that book, Growing Elite. I think you would profit from it. Yes you need a pdf viewer there are more than a few free ones out there. Google pdf reader if you don't have one. I use Aldiko. The web site pdfdrive.com has the book for free but I doubt the author considers it freeware. Just enter "growing elite" on the site's search engine then click on download. Wish you luck on your endeavor and peace out don't stress out.
