PLEASE start smaller per Rusty's advice as it sounds like you have little experience at growing indoors.


Yeah, always consider experience only guarantees greater success. If you are not that experienced- start smaller. And if people are/can be a threat consider investing in security devices and protection, although if somewhen comes into mine when im not home will atleast lose a hand and possibly their most precious, I see it as you or them, gotta be DOWN because when you have seconds left, cops are always minutes away...

That's only if you have too though, always consider the inevitable. I think a matter we don't talk alot about is security but not for our medicine but on how we can better protect our homes. I mean only because we grow, it doesn't make us exempt of protecting ourselves and possibly our medicine specially if it's done under all legality. Sorry, im not trying to high jack your thread on guns or such, but just saying keep a watchful eye as many can be watching you. Start your grow only when you built enough confidence and a effective system that works best for you, as anything that can go wrong most likely will go wrong depending on all around conditions. Keep us posted on your future grow and wish you luck on your future ventures.

Peace.
