The summer is my busy time and I spend weeks away from home. I have figured out what I want to do and have started acquiring everything I need. So far I have a bunch of different seeds and everything I need to mix up some living organic soil. I will mix it up when I get home from this work trip. Just happened to be working where I could find some volcanic basalt and glacial rock dust for a decent price. I still need to purchase my tents, lights, and all the little "fixin's" like timers and pots. So I am at least a month away and probably longer since I am not going to go cheap with lights. COB's are in my future.
It will all be worth the wait because it will be a proper first grow with quality from the soil up. Pretty excited to get going but gonna be patient.
