SMG's Video Noob Guide To Growing Techniques

[SauceeMcGee]

All right canncom, here is a huge compilation of video and textual guides to doing all sorts of things with your plants. I felt that having one thread here with all of this information would be very helpful for some people and save time for those searching for this information. I hope that having all of this information available within one link serves as a useful resource for anyone wishing to learn! I did not make any of these videos or textual guides. I merely gathered all of these links and put them all in the same place.

Ready...Set...Learn!
