Look when I first came to this site I was scolded badly for not doing proper research, I research daily for yield, Better strain management, how to cure, clone, and whatever else I need. Take what the pros have to offer, I'm now on my second grow, I think I would call myself a novice, but I'm on the door of advance. All the pros can tell you, Its not easy to grow. So read up have fun and learn my friend.
