I guess some background would help so, first, Iâ??m 52 now and I started â??blazingâ?? my own trail in 1968, â??the good old daysâ??. Iâ??m also a disabled vet and a single parent with 3 teenagers convinced they know all the answers before theyâ??ve heard the questions, sadly, just like theyâ??re old man back in â??68, I vacillate between wanting to hug them and wanting to choke them, lol.

Anyway, thatâ??s another story, maybe â??The Trials and Tribulations of Trying To Teach Teenagers To Thinkâ?? would work.

Enough intro, as I said, Iâ??m new to growing, in fact, Iâ??m actually only recording hypothetical scenarios that exist within the nooks and crannies of my half-baked mind, Iâ??ve NEVER actually grown any illegal substances, nor would I. I'm actually just lost in thought.

Anyway, it was last year i decided to try growing my own bud and, although it didn't yield me what i'd hoped for, i got enough to be hooked. lol.
Anywho, that first attempt was in dirt, in DIY pots made from 2 liter Coke bottles and they worked great, not big enough for momma's but nice for clones, and 15 of them fit into one of those bins (before the hot glued dowels were installed of course).
This time i decided to go hydro and i know now, except for outdoors, i will never go back, my results have been MUCH better with the hydro and the cfl's too
