Ha, resurrected from the dead...

I don't use seed banks, so one of the many genius growers around here can help you with that. I save seeds from different pot I really like...just good old bag seed.

As far as doing a basic soil grow, I took everything I learned from HD and began a grow in March, without all the mistakes. And once you've bought all the gear, the second grow costs next to nothing.

The only changes in my current grow are the nute/THC booster mixture, the veg time was shorter (because they grew faster this time), and the use of fish emulsion during flowering.

Take a look at my current grow log. It's a really basic setup...nothing fancy. But it's capable of producing a pound of weed that, when properly cured, absolutely knocks your dick in the dirt.
