come on I have read hours and hours on this, I have been a member since 2007 and have over 500 posts I have read the stickies and pages of the plant problems section and the plant problem sections on other sites. I could probably tell someone everything they need to know to grow a nice plant but I can't seem to pull it off myself.

I've grown outside as well. Its easy as shit, I threw a couple seedlings in the ground and they grew into perfect healthy plants, aside from a little bit of bug damage on the lowest leaves but it frosted way to early to harvest anything worthwhile.

I know that you dont need foxfarm soil but i bought it so you guys would have a better idea of what problems I have because most of you guys use it/have used it.
