Yes, this is my first grow and I am having great success with skunk#1. I have planted it in top quality potting on compost, having germinated it in damp tissue followed by small pots of seed compost. the results so far have been impressive. As the plant gets several sets of leaves start to prick out the tips with your finger nails to encourage bushing of the side shoots. Water occasionally, go very sparing on th fertiliser as potting on compost is rich in nutrients. Use perlite for aeration of the soil and cover the surface of the soil with this as well, it reflects precious uv light back on to the plants' leaves. Let nature do the rest.
