Here's some advice... START NOW!!! Grab a bucket and germ a seed. Start at least 1 plant now. You'll be happy that you did. Whats holding you back? Who cares if you use Miracle Grow and some grow light bulbs you get from WalMart? Thats what I did! It's better to start now and fail rather than start later and fail! Right? It's kind of hard to fail anyways. MJ is a WEED and will grow in anything almost. So do it up!!! My friend stole a street lamp and grew with that! Go figure! I believe the quote in Jurassic park is the best "Life will find a way!" So do it up! Besides if anything goes wrong we're all here to help ya and we'll catch it in time. It's better to grow the seeds that you have rather than let them sit. So do yourself a favor and start at least one! You'll learn so much from that one plant then the next grow will be better and so on! So no that you finished reading this go and get a seed and a 5 gal bucket or a soda bottle or whatever. People on here grew plants from a shot glass! If they can do it you can do it!
