Nice comment and shared by many a newbie like me.I'd like to thank the moderators for maintaining a great site and all the members for sharing their collective years of wisdom in growing and harvesting! My first grow was about 2 years ago in a tent in a closet and I'm starting my 4th grow now. Ed Rosenthal's book was a great foundation but all the specific and practical details I found here through searching the forums were critical to my modest success to date. I use Subcool's supersoil, started with CFL. I was a reluctant the first couple grows to switch to MH/HPS due to anecdotal posts of 5-0 showing up to investigate RF interference reported by neighbors from digital ballasts. I did switch and wrapped copper tape around the cord from ballast to fixture (made the cord prettier and gave me piece of mind if nothing else). No problems yet.
I haven't posted before because as a noob i didn't have anything to contribute and the majority of my questions were answered already within the forums
Forums like RIU are amazing resources for people around the world of all levels to share information. This allows for an accelerated learning curve for new growers. Similar to how home brewers in the mid 90s learned how to brew from chat rooms and forums. This led to the passionate and successful ones opening craft breweries, hence the beer renaissance we are enjoying in the US now.
Thanks again, here are a few pics from my earlier grows (if I can get them to post):

- top is NYC Diesel flower from 1st grow
- next is G13 Haze from second grow- only grew one plant, used LST
- next 2 are from last grow- 7 plants (more sprouted than I counted on so it got a little crowded, NYC Diesel, Northern Lights, G13 Haze and Jack Herrer)
Nice pics.
Nice pics showing ur progress
