Hey Weedhound,

Thanks for the input on the growing books. We'll see if I end up getting those or not. I always had a thing for plants and am hoping my green thumb will help me get by with this first crop. But I can imagine my 2nd crop getting better already.

I'm curious - I used Miracle-Gro soil. Is that a big deal?

And I did some shopping on the internet. Some seed stores have this label on their seeds:

Flowering period : 9 - 11 weeks

That is almost 3 months. Does it usually take that long for plants to flower or that varies by strains? Or is the general practice to haste the whole cycle so we can get wasted sooner than later? Clear this up for me if you can!

Thanks!
