del... Reviewed by del... on . [Help] New Indoor Grower I've recently become quite interested in indoor cannabis growing and purchased some seeds online. I have no previous marijuana growing experience, though I have grown vegetables, flowers, and variety of other plants outdoors. I'm looking for somebody to help me out and give me suggestions via this thread, and email would especially be nice. My main concerns with growing this wonderful plant are the space and time I have available. It seems as though I might be a bit short on both. My Rating: 5
