until you have the tank up and running. Advice I used to give customers when I worked at the Aquarium store. So many times peeps would come in buy an expensive tropical fish and a tank for it simultaneously, sure enough the next day the customer would walk in with the floater in the bag unopened. "it takes three days to get the water set in my tank, my fish died in the bag waiting"

Fail to plan ... plan to fail the moral of the story.

If you are a soil grower have your soil mixed or bought, have your room(s) up and running without foliage for a few daze. As I understand it seeds are quite expensive, don't let seedlings die under an incandescent bulb, have your grow ready. Heat and air flow are big concerns, get the HVAC running before you find out it smells like Lil Flower and family moved in, or you go check to see how your burned colas are. It's all cool to have great strains but your product is a direct reflection of it's faclity. Want tasty bud get your faclity in order. Want crappy bud and mistake after mistake .. try runing a grow by the seat of your pants... think forward and it will improve the grow.

I'm done ranting now

don't buy the fish!

Good call. Before I start a new grow I let my room run for 2-3 days as if there were seeds in there to monitor heat and humidity. Basically I wanna know how long it takes for my soil to dry and how deep it dries. You don't want to blow a circuit or have a fire while you're at work either.

Good call Mel
