Hello David. I will try again. First time here. not so computer savy. I can help. I am a third generation Arborist, landscaper, and nurseryman. I have been growing all plants but also cannabis for a very very long time. I have done it all ways possible and even someways that are not suppose to be possible. I was the owner of The Tree Care Co. a leader in the community for R&D of local trees. SOunds like you are trying to hard. It is just a weed and is very easy to grow if you stop listening to everyone and start watching and listening to the plants. I have the ability to help you get it right and save a lot of time, money and hardache. The only catch is you have to be fully legal. I am in criminal court for cultivation and child endangerment. The sherrifs had my children removed from me but i fought and had them returned quickly. The childrens court dismissed the case but criminal court has not caught up yet. It will be over soon. if you like i do train service dogs and my site is nahto.com I have taken this past year off to fight for my children and myself, So i am also up to date with laws. Good luck. Drew.
