Hey GBG, fellow Michiganian here. Would love to talk about growing and methods. I just hope you havent gone out and spent those thousands at the local hydro shop yet. You don't need to spend that much, really. I'm well into my first grow and I must say, my plants look spectacular. I would be glad to help out if you still need it. Can't seem to find out how to PM or I would have done that. But seeing as this is not a "social" board, maybe its not allowed.
