There really isn't a template. Just start a thread here in the New Growers forum and tell about your setup, soil, strains, nutes, etc. The more information the better. That way should you run into an issue where you need some help, we can go back to the beginning and see your setup. Saves asking a lot of questions later and possibly wasting valuable time. Then just update it from time to time. Of course, pictures are always welcome. Everyone like bud porn.
