All right here we GROW.
This is my first grow "ever" so I am sure there will be mistakes throughout the learning curve. I appreciate any and all suggestions ,posts and advice.( good ,bad or ugly). This is like driving a race car- The only way you know if it is going to work is to make an adjustment and try it.
