touchy subject with some.here's my humble take on it....for what it's worth. everybody that has ever grown the herb had to start somewhere.for me i tried growing a couple times outdoors because i didn't even know you could grow it inside (keep in mind this was 25 years ago).The first plant i ever grew to maturity turned out male and i didn't even have a clue there was such a thing as a female mj plant ,much less how to identify it.
Fast forward 10 years or so.A friend of mine lent me his copy of the original "MJ Growers Guide" , and i proceeded to build my indoor room.The very first true female plant i ever saw growing in my life was in that room along with 12 other sisters of hers.I was so proud i could just bust.Hell, i was almost an "expert" now and how i so loved to brag about my infinite knowlege of the plant.i showed it to several friends (the room i mean) and even a couple of cousins.It was just and simply a pure miracle of catastrophic events that luckily didn't happen didn't lead to me getting busted.i like to trust my friends and family.i do trust them about certain things.
Fast forward again to now...i have a small grow setup at my place ,well hidden .Nobody but nobody knows about it but me.my bragging days are over and i learned a long time ago that right under a nose is a set of lips.lips tend to say things under certain circumstances that they normally wouldn't ever say otherwise.Therefore i relieve them of the burden of certain knowledge that could jeopardize myself and my way of life.either way you fry this fish....the best words you can say about your grow room are to yourself. word to the wiser.....
