What's up guys!

I've grown VFT for 3 years now. I had one plant for a year and left it behind during a move. And I got a new one as a home depot rescue that I've had for 2 years now. So I guess I'm doing something right.

I'm in the Mojave desert, where it gets hot. I keep moline on a windowsill which is probably taboo and I know it probably needs more light.


Anyways.... I'm here to learn more and grow more plants.

I'm going to purchase some seeds and another plant from a reputable vendor.

Any essential reading here you'd recommend (I'm familiar with forum culture and know how to search, just wondering if there is anything extra special) :geek:

Welcome to the forum. We all have different interests so the search feature will be probably your best bet on finding pertinent reading material for yourself. I would suggest you visit the seed bank. Check the inventory...instructions are at the bottom of the inventory post. Also, while in the seed bank forum be sure to check out the monthly bonus post...currently you could end up getting three different types of seeds for the cost of two SAS envelopes. Enjoy the forum!

Way cool. I am just starting to get my feet wet with TC. Maybe I can pick your brain sometime?

I've grown Hella mushrooms eith agar so I get the sterile part of it. I can't imagine TC being much more difficult
