Grtz from Germany

Hey there,

I used to live in the Netherlands for a while and am now back in Germany. As you might guess, I miss certain advantages of the Dutch way of life, and instead of trying to find outside stuff, I figured I'll give my green thumb a try.

Meaning I'll be reading and reading and reading through the forum - and hopefully do some shopping back in NL end of August.

I am just looking at 1-5 plants, indoor, if possible with no huge equipment. The yield ain't that important, as it is for personal use, and I am not that much of a user. So far, ScrOG and cabinet in general sound promising, but I need to read up on some more details, especially venting (hope to avoid it)and lighting (hope to find an affordable option).

So, you'll be seeing me here from time to time, probably with some stupid questions. :) But! If you want to avoid at least some of my stupid questions, please suggest some decent literature! Anything that helps the very small-time homegrower is appreciated, languages can be Dutch, German and of course English.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Grtz
Where in Germany are you from? Ich wohnte in Deutschland als ich ein Kind war (lange heer). Ich bin von Bremen. Wohne in Seattle WA schon seit 1970.

I would highly recommend "Gardening Indoors" by George Van Patten. Excellent.

Guten Tag! Wie geht es Ihnen?

I am living in Hamburg, less than an hour from Bremen... Awesome city - and I love being closer to my family again. The Hague, wehre I used to live, is only a 5-hour drive, but for Europeans, that's a lot! :)

Thanks for the lit tip, I'll check it out. For now, I am getting 2 books from Ed something.... Closet Cultivator and Ask Ed. One should be here tomorrow, the other takes 2 weeks... but it'll get me started.

My main difficulty right now is keeping my calculator close by - all you inch and Fahrenheit details are absolutely no use to me... Metric system rocks! :thumbsup: Plus, all your recommended products are of course either not available here or marketed under a different name. So, I'll need to check out some Dutch/ German forums as well, I guess...

Looking forward to getting to know you!
