My friend and I have both watched High Times "Ready, Set, Grow" and the Green Man's series on YouTube, and have read various guides here and there, the best I can think that I have come across is the one on www.a1b2c3.com, but neither of us has $30 to throw down on an actual, tangible book. Didn't you guys know that this age of the internet where information is free from people like you!?

We know where pH is SUPPOSED to be, but I guess we didn't realize that tap water was so high, even after letting it sit for a few days. I appreciate the responses; I will have to pick up 15 gallons of distilled water from the store tomorrow. What is the pH of distilled water? I am also very well aware that growing takes times and patience, and I vow to never be one of those "can I cut a bud off and dry it in the microwave" kind of growers.

My friend and I have spent months planning this out, gathering supplies, studying, and are still continuing to do so. I am very appreciative of everyone's patience and for taking the time out of their day to type out answers to my questions, but I get a little perturbed when someone simply posts' "Get a grow guide!" I meant no offense to anyone that actually took the time to write a meaningful and relevant response.
