If his friend can't read, he can alway go to youtube.com and watch the grow videos they have (" Ready set grow chapter 1-14 "). Then he can come back to this site and ask questions and learn to read . JamesTurncoat, what type of lights is your friend using? I hope he's not using regular light bulbs. It's good to have a fan near the plants to keep the air circulating. All you need to grow the plant is Good air, good water, good light, and good soil ( The way god made it) :thumbsup: . Another thing you need to tell him is to keep the plants under the light ( with light on ) for 18 hours or more ( Even 24 hours a day if he wanted) for Veggie ( so that the plant will grow) for 1 month ( from start ). Then keep the lights on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours (totally dark when light is off). ood luCk to you and your friend JamesTurncoat :thumbsup: ...
