man bro i just read your thread , you're learning pretty good i'm gonna be a pal and help you out man since you seem to be pretty cool and put up with shit from that bitchass tom
EDIT: don't smoke that shit yet , throw it in some glass jars in your closet , open em up once a day and reclose em for a week or 2 so that it won't taste as bad, you can thank me later
try low stress training
get some indica like that guy said , try ordering from hemp depot or dr chronic ( both are reputable ) order yourself some northern lights seeds ( one of the big 5 strains of weed )
for your hydro setup i suggest getting the triple pack of "fox farms" hydroponic shit , that stuff is pr0
also idk if its against the rules but look up grass city forums on google then search for a thread called bubble bucket 101 , i think you would be interested in that
other things to look into : DWC , carbon scrubbers , and in general just read bits and ends of threads that you think are relevant to what you wanna kno
