I tried growing when I was younger and ignorant of good grow techniques. They never even made it past six inches in height. Poor little things. I was definitely guilty of plant abuse. I have everything gathered together to start my first real grow at this point, but things keep coming up that force me to postpone. I can't wait till I can really begin. I am excited by all I've learned on this site and am anxious to grow my own plants, not just for the finished product but also for the experience. When I've completed my first successful crop I'm going to be inordinately proud of the accomplishment.
