Thought I'd say hi and give some background.

Well, not that anybody ever goes into the newbie forum, but I'd like to introduce myself. I'm X from California, I dont smoke weed, and haven't since highschool. It's not really my thing.
I do have a a friend thats a MJ patient. He has a baby and doesnt have space or time to grow, or money to buy from a reputable dealer(co-op). So in exchange for my electricity bill, I dedicate my own time and money to ensure he is able to properly medicate.
One of my hobbies ever since I got clean from hard drugs has been marine aquariums. This consumes most of my money. It also educates me in organic chemistry and biology, much of which translates into hydroponics. Even things like CO2 and NPK translate to my planted tank.
Well thats my story, I signed up to this forum because in my searches I consistantly got more in depth info than other sites like "rollitup" etc. And I want to see the pics. lol
