General Rules for Moi; Don't be greedy/ Control Your Grow/ Plants are like Children they require constant vigilance/ GO ORGANIC/ Filtered H2O only to feed!/ Do NOt Overfeed!
Metal Hal.; for Vegetative growth; HPS for Budding! Don't Overdo HPS; Start at about 6-8 weeks with "minor introduction" then go from there;
DO not limit plant growth by placement or starting in small containers! Larger Containers do not limit plant growth; albeit Indoor plants tend to be smaller than outdoor,
