oh man dont get me wrong, maybe I emphasised my "noobness" a tad too much ...I have a few years done in college and many apl modules under my belt. The fact however remains that getting my hands on equipment or even seeds is difficult for me until I am back to college in the fall. Having said that I have two ten day old...most likely indica strain plants growing now and about my trip ...well was just for five days ( it was a botanical, geological and zoological survey of a diverse landscape as part of my thesis) I have read a lot on weed and my general knowledge isn't bad. I'm around for the rest of the summer and ill most likely do an outdoor grow even with the unpredictable temperate climate and associated risks of mould. Evidently I was just looking for some feedback and I'll take you suggestions into account! Thanks again for the reply! I'll put up a grow log after I sex the plants ...until then PEAS OUT :hippy:
