Congratulations on your harvests and thank you for a wonderful journal.
I applaud your commitment to learning what you could before taking "the easy route" of Doc Bud's HiBrix. DIY has served you well, using custom product for quality cannabis will no doubt serve you well also. Doc's method and supplies work best for those 'with a feel' for growing cannabis, but also work respectably well for those of us with lesser skills. I personally have had poor results 'cooking' 7-17 gallon batches of soil and have, at Doc Bud's advice, returned to cooking full batches of soil at a time.
You won't experience near as many critters indoors, and you will use more electricity, but I find a perpetual indoor grow to be a perpetual indoor joy.
As they say at graduation, I wish you success in your future endeavors. It's been a pleasure to have you share your time with us.
