I wanted to take a minute here and introduce myself, and also give a HUGE thank you to everyone that has contributed to the AFN.
I have been lurking on the site for quite some time now, as well as some other sites, but I must say that you have quite an awesome community here. It is refreshing to see all these people trying to help each other out!
Just basic stuff...I do suffer from a back injury (low back) that causes muscle spasms. Smoking does wonders for the pain, to say the least. I prefer not to go down the pill route, as I have seen the drawbacks to that.
How I got started? Well, for one I didn't want to pay the astronomical prices anymore for smoke. I have had an OK green thumb for awhile now with Herbs, Vegetables and spices. I figured, let me learn as much as possible about this, take every security precaution I can and have a go at it.
Before I bought anything at all, meaning beans, Lights, filters, tents, nutrients, etc I read. Then I read some more, and a ton more after that. All I have done with my time is read about what makes a plant work, and not work. Listening to the sound advice from people here, taking in as much as I could, trying things out and then seeing what works best for me in my situation.
I cannot say thank you enough to all of the people in this community who were kind enough to post, everything from my battle with the TSM
(just about defeated, ongoing prevention and maintenance now) to PH Issues, deficiencies, soil recipes, etc
I made it through an Auto Skunk Mass grow (Advanced Seeds) , 2 plants, under a 270w LED unit in soil as my first grow. I was Very very pleased with myself. One pulled 36g dry and the other 29g dry. The whole time I did battle some problems but came out OK. And Like I said, It would NOT have came out as nice without this site here to reference. I only wished I had posted my Intro sooner!
Looking forward to meeting new people and making some friends here,
To everyone who reads this, thank you, good luck, and have fun - most of all be safe doing it!
