Thanks for taking an interest m8. The grow tent I use is a Secret Jardin Darkroom. It is very good with a lot of options as to how you want to direct the airflow etc. Also possible to access the plants from 3 sides so you dont need to take all out to reach a plant in the back. It is coated in Mylar on all surfaces inside from factory.

My love on CanCom. (If you are a chick :P)
Well when my interest was hooked I started with reading some basics on growers forums just to understand some essentials and after that watched a few movies. Jose Cervantes made two that are very good for basic knowledge for exemple. After that I was really interested and almost cut back on my sleeping time for a month just consuming articles about more and more advanced techniques and genetics etc. One thing I always use as a guideline when studying something is that nothing is true until it is verified from more than one source and on internet u need to triple that so I kept on reading so much that it was hard to find more. Started to stumble over the same stuff more and more. CanCom, Icmag, rollitup.org, uk420.com, youtube, pirate bay and much much more. I vacumed the internet. I also found some materials from commercial professional growers that I actually started to understand whith the knowledge I had collected. It was jibberish when I looked at it at first and I didn't get just why they did as they did but now I do and can use what is possible to apply on small scale ops as my own. Some of this is easy to find. For exemple search on Green house on youtube or Pirate bay and you will find some info from Arjan posted directly by them. Arjan is one of the best growers/breeders alive imho. Other info is harder to get but always possible.

It's fun to sniff around for more, find something new. Try to verify it. And ofc to finally put it to practise.
I started quite simple and the goal with the first time around is to see what works and not. Problem is I had so few problems I haven't had to solve a lot. :P I also wanted a "grow as you please" grow first time to see for myself how the plants develop when left to grow as they want. I did FIM one as a reference but 4 are left more or less untouched. Well 2 also had to be stopped when they tried to grow through the roof. hehe.

Anyway thats the storry of my waken month(s) in Mj growing "school".
In real life I studied first science and after that economics and law by the way. I was a racedriver as well but crashed after some years of international racing in Europe, broke my back (quite low luckilly)and are home with tons of time to spare so that's why I needed a close to home hobby that is interesting and I can throw myself at.

Hmm, another novel sized post. Sorry.
