might sound dumb but

+ reps

i started my first grow with this site, and simply from reading everyone's input and reading grow journels ive saved so much effort and time with problems.

But when i first starterd reading these forums alot of the lingo did not make much sense until the bigger picture came along. and the familiarity came along. anyways + reps for the effort

Happy Gardening,
