I actually only tried lottery once, I don't think that would ever work quite as well as growing cannabis for me haha. I do know that certain strains are alot more touchy, but from the bagseed I've grown, they tend to grow almost in spite of you. some people actually just try too hard and end up killing a fairly tough plant. I didn't mean for that to come off conceited, I was just saying that maybe some people try too hard or take on too much without first learning what they're doing. Nowadays I take alot more of my babies. I actually call them babies and talk to them, haha. I had one entire grow to die. I had 4 plants coming up all about the same size in a shed somewhere. The roof decided to leak and drown my babies. Sometime's I think people just try too hard, or get too upset when it's not going just like the book or just like other people's went. It's a resilient plant, sometimes it's better to let it do it's own thing within reason. That's just my opinion, and it's worked so far.
