    Precious advice

    If this is your first grow take one plant and grow it in only soil and water. Don't clip trim or fuss with it.

    How To Get Generic Purple Buds.

    Usually indicas don't do as well in the cold but sativas are unaffected in fact if you water as soon as the lights come on in the morning it makes a difference.
