I say go for it. Of course if it's an epic fail, and it easily could be, you won't have any clue which area of negligence contributed to the downfall, so if you try again you will be forced to do everything as best you can with the budget you have. I don't know about everyone on this board, maybe most of you have done everything right the first time, but for me it usually takes a good ass kicking to persuade me that I am being a fuckup and even then I sometimes find myself thinking that if this factor and that factor hadn't been put upon me... blah blah you get the point.

So, by all means go for it, put as much effort into it as you want, and if you get some decent bud you know that you can get much better and higher quantity smoke. And above all, have fun. I think some people acting like you have to take it all serious and put your elbow grease all the time cause people to not want to get started. Granted, if you totally suck in this endeavor you might not try again, but if you hear a bunch of naysaying you may not try the first time.

The only hard and fast rule in growing is to always know that anyone who knows about it will rat on you if they ever get arrested. Especially if they're related to you. Don't know why that is, maybe jealousy or wanting to not be in jail for ten years.
