I used House and Garden root excelurator from germination to now. I did a 1/4 teaspoon to gauge how this strain would react (being as this is my first Grow ever). I have this in a 5 gallon smart pot. THe lights are currently 18" away. No real rhyme or reason for that number. I checked the spectrum of light break down on the box and felt that 18" would keep my girl from light burn.
Tell me about it, outdoor that's well done can be just as good as great indoor IMO. The sun definitely brings out all the flavour, more so than a light, and it just has this certain freshness to it!
