Hey, that see through lock is a good place to start. The electric guns work, but are hard on locks. You can buy individual picks for about $4 each and are a good investment if you get into it. I would recommend some rakes, worms, and single hooks. My favorite for single pin picking is a DeForest Diamond. Most locks are easily raked in a few seconds to a minute, but learning to pick can be fun. The Chinese picks are rarely made of decent metal and tend to break easily. Go easy and use the see though lock to feel your way. Bosnian Bill on YouTube is the best for locksport vids. Cheers.
Anyway I'm an avid reader of your thread, along with Wilee and Itisi. I'm growing in Canada in a tent I'm calling Growcifer, an SJ Lodge 280.
