Welcome to the Forum abNORML!
I like the screen name! Are you a NORML member? I am a NORML supporter myself...it is a great organization! As stated by cdbr420 & closet.cult a lot can be learned by reading the growFAQ. You are in a great place with a lot of great info!! When you are ready to start your grow start a grow journal and keep us posted on your progress!! Good luck and happy growing!!
