Hi back2thegame
welcome to AFN :smoke:
Hope to see your grow soon any help and advice you need will be there when you need it.
Mention of financial gain can be a touchy subject, best avoided and everything else should be plain sailing.
I'm a hobby grower which means I grow for my own use, reasons why are so I don't have to buy my smoke from dodgy dudes, better quality and to save spending my hard earned cash on often inferior product and not to forget, I just love growing . As a result I try to be stealthy as possible, there are a lot of hobby growers here and talking about making money out of growing ,can set the alarm bells ringing.
Commercial grows yes people do it , but as the saying goes "loose lips, sinks ships" in every aspect of your life this info should be kept on the down low.
Don't be offended by the comments, it just shows people are thoughtful about this aspect of growing, you will get all the support you need in the forums.
Buying good seed stock is a worth while investment, There are times in the past, when I myself have spent on my grow and have gone without for a couple of weeks. Tough at the time but when my crop was ready it was a time of plenty.
Hope you will stick around, you'll find AFN is a great community, It doesn't take long to realize the vibe here is amazing, and it is good to have you on board.
