tHE BIG ONE IS LIKE 10K...FULL DIPLOMA IN HORT
But i just scrap the cash together to do hydro... made first on credit cards ! ( i figure it will be worth it)

THE HYDRO ONE IS buT - THE PAYMENTS CAN BE MADE OVER 1YR..
A 1x $2,893.00
B 2x $1,529.00
C 4x $814.00

itd cost some dollars to start tho id expect

We could use each other to study! You do one bit ill do another we swap etc !
All online at own pace !

It would be complete ligit biz..... No back shed ! Lol

sounds like a good idea... id love to do something like that

im more an outdoor guy. well to be honest i used to be indoor/outdoor guy. now i cant afford another charge lol. so i just growe ma 1 or 2 plants and smoke ma weed lol. the amsterdam shits just dreaming lol.

must admit id like to have the qualifications

bro, i plan to open a NURSERY/ HYDRO shop...... growing aussie natives from seed for the landscape & DIY market....and big indoor facility for both commercial production of chilli and herb to pizza shops and grocery stores ....+ supply of hydro products for the public.

Been researching and getting the people and skills together !
I could do with a hydro guy ! LOL (as well as myself)
everything would probably strat indoors and move to outside..... i know you have experience to do this tomorrow.. but certified ! u r unstoppable ansterdam, your own business etc...

yeah ive bookmarked

me n ma girl have a few pressing things atm like moving and other crap so im gonna have to save but ive been thinkin bout doing it for a while now...

and they seem pretty appealing courses.

move to amsterdam and start a seed bank and head shop thats what id do j.j.

im intrigued if the Clover works for ratios of females too....

red clover is also full of the female phytoEstrogen....... hense twins.......&&&

COULD MAKE A WICKED FEMALE TONIC FOR MJ !??

P.S So you going to study with me ?? I reckon I could do the Hydro one standing on my head in fish pond doing 360`s.....
it will certifie you to work world wide (pick n mix lol) or here in a nursery or something......
But have a look through site HEAPS of different course..........

true never heard that one lol.
