 New Grower HereThanks a ton Psycho, you really have helped me out alot.  
 
 Anywho I hope to have happy growing soon! Just need to assemble the growing station, go find some parts I need from the shed and get my seeds together!
 
 If I got anymore questions I can't find on my own I'll be sure to ask. xD xD
 
 EDIT: Here is a basic compilation of what I have for the growing element of this project so far:
 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 Soil
 -Should drain well. That is, it should have some sand in it and also some sponge rock or pearlite.
 -The pH should be between 6.5 and 7.5 since marijuana does not do well in acidic soil. High acidity in soil encourages the plant to be predominantly male, an undesirable trait.
 -The soil should also contain humus for retaining moisture and nutrients.
 
 1 - Germinate
 -Place the seed between six moist paper towels.
 -Wait between one day to one week for the sprouts to develope
 -Plant the seed as soon as it crack open and begins to sprout. Place it on some moist soil and sprinkle a little soil over top of it.
 
 2 - Grow
 -Lighting
 -One 2 foot flouresent lighting unit, cool white and soft white tubes.
 *Keep light 2 inches above plant
 *Plants grow during the day and flower during the night
 *24 hours of light till plant is 10 inches tall and then 12/12 lighting
 
 3 - Harvest
 First, pull the plant up roots and all and hang it upside down for 24 hours. Then put each plant in a paper grocery bag with the top open for three or four days or until the leaves feel dry to the touch. Now strip the leaves off the stem and put them in a glass jar with a lid. Don't pack the leaves in tightly, you want air to reach all the leaves. The main danger in the curing process is mold. If the leaves are too damp when you put them into the jar, they will mold and since the mold will destroy the resins, mold will ruin your marijuana. you should check the jars every day by smelling them and if you smell an acrid aroma, take the weed out of the jar and spread it out on newspaper so that it can dry quickly. Another method is to uproot the plants and hang them upside down. You get some burlap bags damp and slip them up over the plants. Keep the bags damp and leave them in the sun for at least a week. Now put the plants in a paper bag for a few days until the weed is dry enough to smoke. Like many fine things in life, marijuana mellows out with age. The aging process tends to remove the chlorophyll taste.
